In 2010, an area of 20,057 hectare around Nusa Penida and its neighboring islands Nusa Ceningan & Nusa Lembongan were declared a protected maritime zone. This archipelago of three islands was until recently mostly known for its great diving spots.
The seabed of this maritime zone is home to 296 species of coral and 576 species of reef fish. You can practice snorkeling, scuba diving or free diving here. Especially scuba divers come from all over the world to see the manta rays at Manta Point. The manta's are around all year long. The oceanic sunfish, also known as the Mola Mola, is only around from July to October.
