Nusa Penida Bali Island

Nusa Penida is an island southeast of Bali island, Indonesia.








Administratively, the island is a subdistrict of Klungkung regency.









There are two small islands nearby: Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan. The Badung Strait separates the island and Bali.










Nusa Penida covers a wide area of diving locations.










They are Penida Bay, Manta Point, Batu Meling, Batu Lumbung, Batu Abah, Toyapakeh and Malibu Point.














During the southeast monsoons, the tidal flow tends south; during the northeast monsoons, the tidal flow tends north. In the area of the strait north of Nusa Penida, the pattern is relatively simple, with a flow, at peaktide, of about three-and-one-half knots.
