About Semaya
Semaya is an east Nusa Penida reef drift with sandy shallows, a steeper coral slope, and pockets of hard coral, sponges, and bommies. It usually gives a controlled moving dive rather than a static reef, so the best look pays attention to the reef edge and blue water for macro life, reef fish, and occasional larger visitors.
