SD Point
Named after the elementary schools (Sekolah Dasar) on the shore, SD is the first wall north-east of Toyapakeh and a classic Nusa Penida drift. A broad coral plateau tips over into a wall; turtles are seen on almost every dive, a resident batfish school, trevally and sergeant majors join the ride, and macro fans look for frogfish and paperfish. Densest life is around 18–25 m.
