There are fears for a group of Australian travellers after a high-speed ferry capsized about 100m off the coast of Bali.
The boat was travelling from Nusa Penida island to Sanur, on the east coast of Bali’s main island, when it crashed about 100m off the coast about 3pm local time on Tuesday.

Two Chinese nationals were killed, and 15 people were hospitalised, Sunrise reports.
There were 80 people onboard, including five Australian travellers — three men and two women — when a large wave smashed the boat.
It is not clear at this stage if any of the 15 people injured are Australian.
The Sydney Morning Herald reports that 73 of the people on board were foreigners, and that the missing person is a local crew member.
Locals could be seen in footage of the moment rushing off the beach and into the water to help those who had fallen in, including children, and a woman who appeared unresponsive as she was carried to shore.
7NEWS.com.au has contacted Denpasar Search and Rescue (SAR) for more information.
The tragedy comes almost one month after another ferry sank in Bali, off Banyuwangi in East Java.
A three-year-old boy and his mother were among the six people who were killed on July 3.
An officer at the port witnessed the sinking before rescuers could be alerted, and many of those rescued were found unconscious after drifting in choppy waters for hours, with 2m high waves impacting the rescue.
