About this site

Malibu Point sits along the coast of Nusa Penida, the island southeast of Bali across the Badung Strait. Dive sites along this shoreline are typically reached by boat from Toyapakeh or Sanur, following the island's rocky, current-swept coastline. The site is a reef dive reaching a maximum depth of around 40 metres and is rated beginner, though divers have noted unpredictable current here at times. Batfish are a regular sighting on the reef, and divers have also reported clownfish, eagle rays, frogfish, fusiliers, lionfish, mola mola, nudibranchs, pipefish, scorpionfish, snapper, sweetlips, trevally, and tuna passing through.
