About Gamat Bay
Gamat Bay is a coral-rich bay on the west side of Nusa Penida where a sheltered plateau opens toward a deeper wall and current-led channel. Macro life, reef fish, turtles, rays, and seasonal mola mola make it one of Penida's more varied dives, but conditions can change quickly and the site is best planned with a guide who can use the calmer parts of the bay well.
