Buyuk is one of the dive spots and also water playground for tourists. Unfortunately, it didn't get proper care from the resort who run this place. Except Buyuk, there are still many water playgrounds around nusa penida and nusa Lembongan. However, environment awareness is not really work with local businesses. It's not just for underwater but also on the land/islands.
