SD Point

SD Point, named after the local term for elementary school, is one of Nusa Penida’s most accessible dive sites, known for its exceptionally varied coral community and high density of reef life. The reef forms a wide shelf that gradually slopes down and runs parallel to the coastline, creating a simple and predictable dive profile that is easy to follow. While SD Point is known for drift diving, conditions are often suitable for relaxed dives. At many times during the day, the current is mild and allows for a smooth “lazy drift,” gently carrying divers along the reef with minimal effort. Although currents can occasionally become stronger, dives are carefully timed to take advantage of calmer periods, making the site approachable even for less experienced divers.
