About this site

Ceningan Wall is a wall dive on the east coast of Nusa Ceningan, running along limestone cliffs. It begins at the foot of the sea cliffs to the north of the island and drops vertically, well beyond recreational depth limits, with dives starting from 40+ meters.

Nutrient-rich currents from the mangroves and upwellings from deep water feed vibrant coral along the wall. The wall is colourful, with plenty of nudibranchs and sweetlips to find. Currents can be strong, and the site is graded advanced.
