Property - Villa - Hotel - Land for sale and lease in Bali Area
Nusa Penida Island Nusa Penida is a small island located in the southeast of Bali, across the Badung Strait which separates the island (and two other small islands, Nusa Ceningan Island and Nusa Lembongan Island) and Bali Island. Nusa Penida covers a wide area of Diving Site Locations. They are Penida Bay, Manta Point, Batu Meling, Batu Lumbung, Batu Abah, Toyapakeh and Malibu Point. The flow through the Lombok Strait is, overall, south-tending, although the strength and direction of the tidal streams are influenced by the monsoon seasons. LAND
FOR SALE During
the southeast monsoons, the tidal flow tends south; during the northeast
monsoons, the tidal flow tends north. In the area of the strait north
of Nusa Penida, the pattern is relatively simple, with a flow, at peaktide,
of about three-and-one-half knots. But when you reach the area around
Nusa Penida, things get very messy indeed. Tidal streams in Selat Badung
(Badung Strait) are semi-diurnal, but owing to the fact that its direction
runs obliquely to the general S to N direction of Selat Lombok, and the
curved shape of the channel, the character of the stream is very complicated.
Toyapakeh has a very beautiful stretch of reefs, and in the southern part of the bay there is a similar area of rugged bommies, rich with color and fish, that is, if anything, even better. Big schools of fish, sea turtles, and occasionally, molas are highlight of Toyapakeh diving. Toyapakeh is special for its structure; those great pillars of coral. Malibu Point is one of the nicest diving sites in the island with gray reefs, reef white tips, silver-tips and numerous sharks. While Penida Bay is another anchorage, and the rocky islands have an interesting forms; something like an old resting elephant. The bay is very vulnerable to swell, creating-up-and-down-currents. Then, Manta Point is a limestone rock off Pandan cafe. The above-water scenery is dramatic, with sheer limestone cliffs cut out by the monstrous swell that pounds this coast year-round. The swell is so strong that even being on a boat here is very uncomfortable. The same conditions are owned by Batu Meling, Batu Lumbung, and Batu Abah. The other hand, the site is also known of the very strong currents requiring divers some skills. Let the current take you downstream, and you will feel it like flying in the wind. The magnificent panoramic view is changing as you are drifting above the reefs. Take a wide lens for photographing. Shatter chance is for a moment. The famous Crystal Bay is calmer than outer shore and literally crystal clear and beautiful. As you enter, hundreds of thousands of Antheases will welcome you with dancing. Staying at the bottom, a school of batfish is coming around periodically. A bat cave is located nearby.
