Diving sites

Mangrove

The dive site Mangrove is situated between Nusa (meaning island) Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan. As its name implies, this site is characterized by an expanse of mangrove and serves an important role in the local ecosystem. The reef and sloping seabed are thick and plentiful with marine flora, completely covered with a multitude of species of coral, sponges, anemones, and a rich variety of animal life. Along a gentle slope that steadily descends to between 8 - 20 metres deep, you and your dive group will drift with the current that varies in intensity from weak to strong. The quality of the reef makes this dive site one of the most beautiful found in the Nusa Lembongan/Penida marine park. Mangrove is also known as a good location for snorkeling.
