Some of the snorkeling spots in Nusa Lembongan:
Offshore Reefs
Famous for its excellent visibility of up to 40m+ on a good day. You will find there one of the most crystal clear water of Bali. You will see big sponges, nudibranch, mantis shrimps, cowries, cleaner shrimps & moray eels. Shoals of colorful anthias cover the corals, trigger fish, puffer fish, stingrays and keep an eye on the blue for the occasional Reef Shark, Barracuda or giant Trevally passing by.
Manta Point
The boat ride out to Manta Point is almost as exciting as the snorkeling trip itself, as it offers divers incredible views of the towering sea cliffs of Nusa Penida. The plankton-rich waters here attract the mantas all year round, sometimes seven or eight at a time. Snorkeling with Mantas will definitely be the highlight of your trip.
