Dive-site story
Located along the northern coast of Nusa Penida, Ped offers an expansive sloping coral reef swept by the prevailing currents of the Lombok Strait. Divers typically drift over rich fields of hard corals, large barrel sponges, and gorgonian seafans. The brisk flow carries schools of reef fish while larger pelagics patrol the blue.
Steady drift diving along an expansive coral-covered slope
Frequent encounters with green and hawksbill sea turtles feeding among sponges
Seasonal opportunities to spot oceanic sunfish rising from deep upwellings
Healthy cover of staghorn, plate corals, and giant barrel sponges
Location

Seasonality
