About this site

Manta Point Lama sits off the southwest coast of Nusa Penida, an island southeast of Bali across the Badung Strait. This stretch of coastline is known for reef manta ray sightings, drawing boat traffic from Sanur and Nusa Penida's own harbors. It's a beginner dive with good visibility, and divers here have reported manta rays alongside fusiliers, octopus, trevally, triggerfish, and wrasse.
