Due to the currents sweeping past Penida means just about every single dive turns into a drift, it is worth bearing in mind the following points:
- Always stick close to the reef seek protection behind coral heads and bommies, and the currents that flow right up against the reef is always less fierce.
- Overall, it is not the most rewarding place for photography as its currents are unpredictable, they can shift and turn into strong currents. Anyway as its waters are crystal clear, videographers will find these sites more satisfactory to their needs.
- Because of the strong currents and its unpredictable change in its intensity and course, this can potentially cause the divers to easily separate from the group, it is recommended to bring an inflatable signal device, which it helps the skipper to see you f you become separated from the group.
