[4K] Diving SD Point Nusa Penida | High-Speed Drift & Sea Turtle Paradise (Bali)

SD Point, Nusa Penida — one of the best drift dives in Bali, and one of the easiest places to see multiple green sea turtles in a single dive. SD Point in Nusa Penida is widely celebrated as one of the finest drift dives in Bali—and one of the most reliable sites to glide alongside multiple sea turtles over a single tank. Sitting on the north coast of Nusa Penida, SD Point offers a vibrant sloping reef swept by consistent currents. In this dive film, we gear up with Nusa Scuba Diver, run through the safety briefing for current management, and drop down past 30 meters to drift along endless soft coral fields, passing green sea turtles, and open-ocean predators like giant trevally. Fun fact: The name "SD Point" has nothing to do with diving jargon—it simply sits directly offshore from an elementary school ("Sekolah Dasar") on the island's coastline. 📍 Location: SD Point, Ped, Nusa Penida, Bali, Indonesia 🌊 Depth Profile: Max 34.2m | Bottom Time: 45 Mins 🌡️ Water Temp: 28°C – 29°C 💨 Conditions: Drift dive, moderate to fast current (mixed currents possible) 🐢 Marine Life Encountered: Green Sea Turtles (Chelonia mydas), Giant Trevally, Schooling Fusiliers, Dense Soft Corals & Sea Fans 📷 Filmed in 4K UHD | GoPro Hero 13 + Ultra Wide Lens 🤿 Dive Operator: Nusa Scuba Dive Center 💡 DRIFT DIVING TIP: At SD Point, never fight the flow.
