Dive-site story
Named after the local primary school onshore, SD Point is a classic drift dive situated along the northern coast of Nusa Penida. Divers drift across a continuous, sloping reef layered with large coral heads, sponges, and fields of branching acropora. Currents here can shift rapidly from a gentle cruise to a brisk ride, pulling divers past offshore schools and deep pelagic visitors.
Fast drift diving along an extensive coral slope
Frequent encounters with resident sea turtles resting among sponges
Seasonal opportunities to spot oceanic sunfish rising from deep water
Location

Seasonality
The dry season provides the best overall visibility, with upwellings bringing oceanic sunfish closer to recreational limits between July and October.
