Why dive here
With 246+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue-spotted stingrays, bull sharks, grey reef sharks, manta rays and mobula rays (devil rays) - Karang Sari offers some of Lombok & Gili Islands's richest reef diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest April, May, November.
Karang Sari sits on Nusa Penida's east coast, a site you can explore in different ways. We like the reef plateau around 10-12m, with its big bommies and plenty of interesting macro life, plus some healthy hard corals, including good patches of staghorn. Drop deeper, and the wall reveals sea fans, overhangs, and the chance for a passing whitetip reef shark or even a manta ray. Visibility often hovers around 19m, making it a good spot for a relaxed dive, especially if you're keen to spot a freckled anglerfish or a silver-cheeked toadfish tucked away.
