The story
Where the mangroves meet the reef.
Mangrove Point is a shallow drift along the east coast of Nusa Ceningan (the smaller island wedged between Penida and Lembongan), where the mangrove-fringed shoreline meets a hard-coral garden. Gentle current, bright shallow water, easy navigation.
Snorkel-friendly enough that non-diving partners can hop in over the side. We use it as a relaxed third dive or surface-interval site between bigger Penida drifts.
"The dive where roots meet reef."
Shallow enough that no-decompression limits aren't a concern. A long, easy, photogenic dive.
