Crystal Bay Snorkeling & Mola-Mola Diving

About This Activity

Crystal Bay on Nusa Penida's west coast is one of Indonesia's premier dive sites and an excellent snorkel destination. The sheltered bay has clear, calm water with a healthy coral reef starting from the beach, home to reef sharks, colourful reef fish, and occasional manta rays. The bay is the main dive site for spotting the mola-mola (ocean sunfish), which seasonally visit the cleaning stations here between July and October — the largest bony fish in the world. Snorkellers can enter directly from the sandy beach with a rented mask and fins (from $5). For non-divers, the beach itself is beautiful and uncrowded by Bali mainland standards.
