Snorkelling Day trip to Nusa Lembongan


 On the final day seven out of our group of ten decided to a day snorkelling to Nusa Lembongan from Sanur, on the Bali mainland.

We did three short snorkelling sessions at three locations - Manta Bay, Crystal Bay and Mangrove Point. The first two sites are actually touching the nearby island of Penida while Mangrove point is off the north coast of Lembongan. The last site was the best as it was in shallower waters and one could see the range of fish spp better.
