About this site

SD Point is a reef drift dive on the north coast of Nusa Penida, between 5 and 18 metres deep. It is often considered an excellent starting point for newly certified Open Water divers.

Currents are generally more predictable than at the island's tougher sites. The reef has beautiful hard coral formations and schools of reef fish, and green sea turtles occasionally glide through.
