Toya Pakeh

Toya Pakeh is one of the most extensive and biodiverse dive sites in the northern part of the channel between Nusa Penida and Nusa Lembongan. Thanks to a steady influx of fresh ocean water, these coral gardens have become a regional benchmark. The site lives up to its name not only for its proximity to the eponymous village but also for its exceptional water clarity, with visibility reaching up to 30 meters, making it a favorite for divers and snorkelers alike.

The underwater landscape features a gentle plateau transitioning into a steep slope over 40 meters deep. It boasts a massive concentration of hard corals, including large table corals and acroporas, which shelter schools of surgeonfish and triggerfish. Sea turtles are frequently seen on the slope, and during the season (July to October), there is a high chance of spotting the giant sunfish. For snorkeling, the most interesting area is the upper reef (3–6 meters), where the vibrant life of a tropical aquarium thrives.
