Vertigo Point located just off south east Nusa Penida, approx 40 mins boat journey from Padangbai, it is exceptionally rare to see another dive boat here, perhaps because the site is open onto the Lombok Strait, so the currents can be very strong with some choppy waves. This is, however, a great site for seeing the elusive Mola-Mola (Ocean sunfish) between July and mid November each year.
Conditions for Diving
Prior to setting out, your AMD-B boat captain and guide will decide if conditions are likely to be possible for diving. For example, wind from the east means therell be big waves, and its a long way to go to then have to turn around. Aqua Marine generally stays on the south west side of the site, away from the totally exposed areas. From 10-25 m, there is a gentle slope with various branching corals, including table corals with Yellow-margin moray eels, sponges, whip corals, small sea fans and a multi-coloured array of soft corals. Around 30 m the slope becomes sandy with a wall to the east. What you can expect to see at Vertigo Point. Here you can expect to see Mola-Mola in season along with schooling bannerfish, Manta rays, various sharks, turtles, trevally, Spanish mackerel and Dogtooth tuna, and very, very occasionally: dolphins. Shallower are clouds of anthias, octopus, lobsters, nudis, flounders, dragonets, and similar species.
