Ceningan Wall follows the east coast of Nusa Ceningan and drops into the channel that separates it from Nusa Penida. The wall is covered in yellow tube coral, red sponges, and overhangs.
The depth is about 12–40 m. The tide in this channel is strong and can have an up-and-down part. The dive is timed around slack. Entry is by boat. This is for divers who are already comfortable on a wall and in current.

Marine life
Whitetip reef shark
Often swim against the current in the blue water off the wall.
Marble ray
They pass in the same current.
Mola
In the cold season they sometimes appear in this channel.
Macro life
The overhangs are the macro ground. For macro photos, use a macro lens and a focus light, and do not enter a tight crack.
Blue-ringed octopus
In the rubble at the base of the wall. Do not touch them, especially the blue-ringed one.
Flamboyant cuttlefish
In the rubble at the base of the wall. Do not touch them, especially the blue-ringed one.
Mimic octopus
In the rubble at the base of the wall. Do not touch them, especially the blue-ringed one.
Nudibranch
This colourful wall is also nudibranch ground. Look in the overhangs, not in the open current.
An animal on this list is not guaranteed on every dive.
