TL;DR
Turtles are commonly spotted while snorkeling from shore in Amed and on boat trips to Nusa Penida; there's also a dedicated 'Turtle Spot' with a cafe and steps down to the water where 2-3 turtles are almost always present.
There's a spot called Turtle Spot — a cafe with ocean views and steps leading straight down to the water, where 2-3 large turtles are almost always swimming nearby.
In Amed you can snorkel directly from the beach, and turtles are regularly spotted there too — no boat needed.
A snorkeling tour with Nusa Penida Explorer (based near the island's port) covering three spots resulted in sightings of both a manta ray and a turtle.
