Tugu
North-coast Nusa Penida wall-and-drift dive by Buyuk.
Boat drift on the Sampalan side of Nusa Penida with a wall profile, ferry-lane caution, and steady blue-water scanning.
About Tugu
Tugu is a north-coast Nusa Penida wall-and-drift dive that sits just after Buyuk and rewards a controlled boat run more than a fast bounce. The route stays lively along the wall, with blue-water scanning, mixed macro, and pelagic passes that keep the dive moving without feeling chaotic. The main planning caution is the ferry lane above the site, so guide discipline and a careful ascent matter more than chasing distance.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Guided boat drift along a wall, with most of the route spent watching the reef face and the blue water beyond it.
Freediving
Not a good freedive target. The moving profile, current, and boat traffic make it a scuba-first site.
Snorkeling
Not a practical snorkel target. The best structure sits on a moving drift line and is better handled from a boat.
