Boat-access outer-rock diving southeast of Manta Point, with strong current and surge swings that make timing and guide judgment important.
About Bat Rock
Bat Rock is a boat-access outer rock southeast of Manta Point in Nusa Penida, with a steep exposed wall and dive conditions that can change quickly as tide, swell and current line up or turn against the rock. It is the kind of south-coast site where guide timing matters, a calm window can turn into a swept-through pass, and the return to the boat can be more demanding than the descent. Expect a conditions-led dive rather than a relaxed shore entry.
