Best for intermediate divers, 5-40m, boat entry.
Q-Dive is a reef and drift site located off Nusa Lembongan, Indonesia, characterised by its significant depth range and variable currents. Divers can explore the shallows at 5 metres or descend to 40 metres, with an average depth of 20 metres. Visibility typically ranges from 15 to 30 metres. Access is by boat only, and the site requires intermediate skill due to strong currents, surf, and potential thermoclines. Water temperatures generally sit between 26 and 28°C, though temperatures can drop to 18-20°C between July and October. Divers should coordinate with their operator to time entries with the current and manage the drift effectively.

Time your dive around the current rather than the clock; slack water opens up the deeper sections safely, while stronger flows are best used for drift diving in the mid-range depths. Check conditions with your operator on the day, as they change quickly here.
