Mangrove Point
Named after the mangrove forest on Nusa Lembongan's north-east coast, facing the strait towards Ceningan. A long, gently sloping coral plateau swept by a steady current makes it one of the area's easiest and most colourful drifts. Turtles are typical in the shallows; deeper towards the west the slope steepens and eagle and marble rays, trevally and occasionally Mola Mola appear.
