About SD Point

Named after the nearby school (Sekolah Dasar), this Nusa Penida site is a prime location for Mola Mola sightings. A sloping reef with scattered bommies leads to deeper waters where the sunfish emerge from cold depths. The site also boasts excellent macro life including frogfish, leaf scorpionfish, and ribbon eels. The reef is decorated with barrel sponges and table corals hosting cleaning stations.
