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) - Penida Bay offers some of Lombok & Gili Islands's richest reef diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest April, May, November.
Penida Bay, off Lombok, offers a relaxed dive. The bay often has a good collection of reef fish – we’ve often seen schooling fusiliers here. It’s a gentle spot, usually sheltered from stronger currents, making it a good option for divers looking for a less demanding drift. You can expect a mellow dive, perfect for a slow exploration.
