Diving Sampalan: Fish ID Guide & Scuba Highlights (Nusa Penida, Bali)

Ready for a deep dive into the marine life of Bali? I’m Regis Boileau, an SSI Dive Instructor, and in this video, we’re exploring the beautiful Sampalan reef in Nusa Penida. I’ve edited this down to a 30-minute experience, removing the "wait time" and adding a Fish Identification Tracker to help you name the species we encounter! 🐠 Sampalan is a fantastic site known for its sloping coral gardens. Despite some plankton-heavy water at the start (15m vis), the dive opened up into a spectacular display of biodiversity at 20 meters. What we see in this edit: • A fast-moving Dogtooth Tuna (the hunter of the reef!). • Both Green and Hawksbill Turtles (look for the one sleeping!). • A Banded Sea Krait weaving through the coral. • Schools of Klein’s Butterflyfish and Redtoothed Triggerfish. I’ve kept the flow dynamic so you can see the best transitions of the reef, the unique rocky pinnacles, and the beautiful overhangs that make Sampalan so interesting. 00:00:40 | Exploring Blue Ridge Corals 00:02:58 | Anemonefish Neighborhood Watch 00:04:25 | Fast Hunters in Action 00:06:01 | Big Tunas in Blue 00:07:01 | Shhh...
