About Sampalan
Sampalan, also known as Batu Nunggul, is a boat dive on Nusa Penida's harbor side where a sloping reef, large barrel sponges, and mixed soft and hard corals create a colorful east-coast profile. When current and traffic line up, the site offers an enjoyable reef dive with schooling fish, reef life, and small macro subjects tucked through the coral formations, but guides still plan the route around the conditions on the day.
