About this site
Malibu Point sits along the coast of Nusa Penida, the island southeast of Bali across the Badung Strait, with dive sites in the area typically reached by boat from Toyapakeh or Sanur along the island's rocky, current-swept shoreline. The site is a reef dive reaching a maximum depth of around 40 metres, rated beginner with generally light current, though divers have noted unpredictable current here at times. Batfish, frogfish, fusiliers, nudibranchs, trevally, and mola mola are regular sightings on the reef, and divers have also reported clownfish, eagle rays, manta and reef manta rays, hawksbill turtles, lionfish, pipefish, scorpionfish, leaf scorpionfish, snapper, sweetlips, triggerfish, tuna, thresher sharks, and various sea squirts and zoanthids around the area.
