Dive into a New Era: Discover Nusa Penida’s Giant Coral Colony with Zero Gravity Diving Bali

The Beauty Beneath: A Commitment to Ocean Conservation

At Zero Gravity Diving Bali, our love for the ocean is at the heart of everything we do. From leading breathtaking dives to implementing eco-friendly practices, we’re proud to combine our passion for marine life with top-notch services for our guests. Recently, Nusa Penida’s waters revealed an extraordinary discovery—the world’s largest coral colony, Galatea Astreata. This monumental find not only highlights the wonder of Bali’s underwater realms but strengthens our resolve to protect and preserve these stunning ecosystems.

We believe that diving is more than just a sport; it’s a chance to connect with nature. That’s why we adhere to the highest environmental standards, ensuring your underwater adventures are as responsible as they are unforgettable.

The Discovery That’s Making Waves

Marine researchers from the Ocean Gardener NGO recently discovered Galatea Astreata, a colossal coral colony off the coast of Nusa Penida. Stretching an incredible 58 meters wide, 71 meters long, and 10 meters high, it covers over 4,000 square meters—more than double the size of the previous record holder in the Solomon Islands. This discovery cements Nusa Penida as a hub for world-class marine biodiversity and a must-visit destination for diving enthusiasts.

But that’s not all. The region, including Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan, and Nusa Ceningan, has been designated as a Particularly Sensitive Sea Area (PSSA) by the International Maritime Organisation, joining the ranks of global treasures like the Great Barrier Reef. This new level of protection is the result of years of tireless conservation efforts, ensuring these waters remain pristine for generations to come.

At Zero Gravity Diving Bali, we offer unforgettable snorkeling and diving trips to Nusa Penida’s top dive sites, including Manta Point, Crystal Bay, and the newly famous coral reefs. The discovery of Galatea Astreata adds another layer of excitement to exploring these underwater realms.

These guidelines aren’t just rules—they’re a way to ensure that Bali’s incredible underwater world remains vibrant and thriving for future generations.

The Joy of Responsible Diving

Last year, we hosted a group of 19 Spanish divers who enjoyed the vibrant reefs of Nusa Penida. They captured stunning footage of their dives and generously allowed us to share their video.
