Sental

This dive site offers easy access for divers via speed boat, making it convenient to enter and exit the water. It is ideal for diving with the current, but it's crucial for divers and the dive leader to coordinate with the speed boat captain regarding dive time, pick-up point, and exit strategy. The reef at this site is breathtakingly beautiful, featuring an extensive stretch of pristine coral.

Divers can expect to encounter a diverse array of tropical reef fish at this location, including pelagic species that gracefully swim through the magnificent reef. Situated in Nusa Penida, a main island in Indonesia, reaching this site is only possible by speed boat or out-rigger boat. The current can flow in two directions, either left or right, so it is highly recommended to conduct boat dives, allowing for easy entry and exit from the water. If you are new to boat diving, this site provides an excellent opportunity to learn how to navigate the currents, both on the surface and underwater, as well as practice entering and exiting the water with or without scuba equipment.
