As a world famous dive site known for molas Crystal Bay is so much more and is our permanent home on Nusa Penida. The Crystal Bay Macro Project is the first step in a complete biodiversity assessment of Crystal Bay – we aim to identify every creature, fish, coral and plant that resides there and write a complete guide to species of Nusa Penida.

A new species of nudibranch was identified by our good friend Yana in 2019 and we are curious to see if we can find further examples of new species in the bay.

You can see what we’ve found so far in our Facebook group – Curiosities of Crystal Bay Macro Project – https://www.facebook.com/groups/crystalbaymacro and we take submissions from all divers. The hunt is on!
