About Baung Penyu Bay / Turtle Neck / The Wall
Baung Penyu Bay / Turtle Neck / The Wall is the drop-off next to Blue Lagoon where a sloping coral-and-rubble approach steepens into a more dramatic wall. Divers usually treat it as one of Padang Bai's more interesting local boat dives because it mixes reef structure, small critter hunting, and a clean wall finish without turning into a hard offshore drift.
