There is a variety of dives to explore, such as shallow reef dives, deep wall dives and drift dives, ensuring that divers of all abilities can find a dive to suit.

Batu Gede Nusa Dua

The reef is located at the north of Nusa Dua, beginning from the entrance to Benoa Harbour and stretching to the right toward Nusa Dua. At the beginning of your dive, you will descend to a depth of 5 meters with a flat bottom of white sand. Just follow the edge of the reef, and you will stumble upon the big bommies. That’s probably the reason they named this dive site Batu Gede or Big Rock. Common tropical reef fishes here include the Moorish idol, Indo-Pacific surgeonfish, butterfly fish, and at times, sea turtles.

Bat Cave: More Diving Spots in Nusa Penida

Diving at the Bat Cave in Nusa Penida offers a unique experience distinct from the typical reef or wreck dives. This site, known for its challenging conditions, is not about a cave filled with bats, as one might assume from the name, but rather a marine dive site with dramatic underwater topography that includes steep walls and caves. The area is renowned for its strong currents and the presence of large pelagic fish. Making it a spot more suited for experienced divers.

The underwater environment around the Bat Cave provides an adrenaline-pumping experience. With opportunities to see manta rays, sharks, and occasionally, the majestic Mola Mola, especially during the right season. Visibility can vary greatly, and the currents that bring the rich nutrients also make the diving conditions more demanding. Thus, this dive site is recommended for divers who are comfortable with drift diving and managing potentially strong currents.
