One of the most popular dive sites near Nusa Penida north coast, Ped’s popularity is due to its milder currents compared to that of other diving sites. There is a beautiful low lying hard coral reef bank that lies between 20 and 40 m deep and there are occasional spottings of manta rays and barracudas, and a huge variety of smaller fish. Barrel sponges, gorgonians and other fish such as sea snakes can be seen in the deeper waters and will be spotted on almost every dive. The reef extends up to 5 m of the surface and it is also possible to see moray eels and titan triggerfish as well as the beautifully coloured emperor angelfish.
