About this site
Southwest is a pinnacle dive site off the southwestern side of Nusa Penida, near the strait separating it from Bali, in Indonesia's Bali Sea region. This stretch of water is known for strong tidal currents funneling between Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan, and mainland Bali, a factor worth accounting for on any dive here. Divers have reported bull sharks and fusiliers around the pinnacle, though sightings like these vary from trip to trip.
