About this site

Toyapakeh sits in the channel between Nusa Penida and Nusa Ceningan in Bali, Indonesia, an area known for strong currents sweeping across its reef. The site reaches a maximum depth of around 30 metres, has a reef bottom, and is generally rated a beginner dive with great visibility despite the strong current, which is a confirmed hazard here. Divers regularly encounter barracuda, batfish, fusiliers, grouper, sweetlips, snapper, trevally, tuna, sea turtles, and mola mola on the reef. Divers have also reported clownfish, eagle rays, marble rays, moray eels, Napoleon wrasse, nudibranchs, mantis shrimp, reef sharks, scorpionfish, surgeonfish, triggerfish, and mandarinfish, along with occasional thermoclines and the odd lionfish or protective anemone fish near the reef structure.
