Located just off Bali’s southeast coast, diving in Nusa Lembongan delivers dramatic drop-offs, coral-covered slopes, and nutrient-rich currents that attract big pelagic life. Nusa Lembongan scuba diving is closely linked with nearby Nusa Penida, home to manta ray cleaning stations and seasonal mola mola (ocean sunfish). Divers regularly encounter reef sharks, turtles, giant trevally, and vibrant hard and soft corals. Steeper walls and faster currents suit experienced divers, while calmer sites provide rewarding dives for confident beginners.
Access to Nusa Lembongan scuba diving starts in Bali, with fast boats departing daily from Sanur, Padang Bai, and Serangan. The crossing takes 30–45 minutes. Bali’s Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) connects to major global hubs. Once on Nusa Lembongan, dive centers are concentrated near Jungut Batu and Mushroom Bay, with short boat rides to top dive sites around Nusa Penida. Local transport options include scooters and small vehicles for easy island travel.
