Blue Corner Nusa Penida Bali
Bali dive site Blue Corner in Nusa Lembongan is a sloping reef with a terrace at about 24 meters. The corals at shallow parts because of really strong currents are not as rich as when you approach greater depths where full of big coral blogs manage to grow in hiding. On the dive you can be approach with nearly anything one diver can imagine.
Big schools of eagle rays, black spotted sting rays, tunas, sharks, turtles, dolphins, whale-shark, trevalies, barracudas, moray eels, mantas rays and for some reason the mola mola or sunfish truly love it here! The record of 15 mola molas on one dive we hold in OK Divers in Padangbai comes from Blue Corner. However, the currents on Blue Corner are so strong and even a group of the most experienced divers still have no guarantee to dive here if the condition are not right. Safety first while diving in Bali with OK Divers!
