Suana
Boat-access wall-and-plateau dive with changing swell.
About Suana
Suana is located on the east coast of Nusa Penida and is known for a combination of plateau and wall diving. The dive typically begins over a sloping reef or plateau before reaching the edge, where the reef drops off into a steep wall that descends into deeper water. The wall itself is exposed and can extend beyond recreational limits, adding a sense of depth and openness to the dive. Conditions at Suana can vary depending on swell and current, as the site is more exposed than those on the north coast. When well timed, it offers a comfortable and enjoyable dive profile, but changing conditions require attention to positioning and depth. For this reason, Suana is best suited for divers with some experience in managing open-water conditions and wall diving.
