Experience exciting drifts, spectacular reefs, large fishes and a copious amount of marine biodiversity. You stand a chance to witness Manta rays, seasonal Mola (July - Oct), schools of fish and the most vibrant coral reefs in Bali.

Please note that the potential for powerful currents and cooler water temperatures (particularly during the Mola season) make this unsuitable for novice divers. It is appropriate for those with Open Water certification (or higher) who have logged 25+ dives and have dived within the last six months.

Very well organised dive operation - This is a slick outfit. Might not be the cheapest, but worth the extra dollars IMO. Let me tell you why. We were picked up from our hotel in an air conditioned bus with heaps of room and space for bags in the boot. At the dive shop, in Sanur, we filled in a bit of paperwork whilst others got their kit sorted (we have our own). Less than 30mins at the shop. Back in the bus, and we headed to Pantai Semawang (a little beach in Sanur) less than 15 mins away. On arrival all our gear was crashed down to the beach along with tanks etc. We boarded a small tender out to the boat, which was a good size, not jam packed with divers (we had 7 - plus crew and guides) and in great nick. We motored across and, as we did, the crew sorted gear on tanks while we got into wetsuits. On site, you slip into your gear, slide your bum onto the gunnel and they clip your fins on for you. Roll back over the side into paradise (I won't talk about the diving - it's highly variable, but great IMO). We did two great dives, then lunch which was a little plastic lunch box each with a piece of chicken, rice, pickled veg, a satay thingy and something really tasty that was like puffed rice. Plus, bananas and coke or water. Then did our last dive. We paid the bit extra to do all 3 dives on Nitrox. After the last dive, fresh towels were handed around along with more water, coke and snacks. We then headed back to the beach at Sanur where all our gear was again carried to the bus, and we drove 15 mins back to the dive centre. The crew sorted all the rental gear and also plunged all our personal gear for us. They then drove us back to the hotel. They have seriously got 'their sh!t squared away' at this dive centre and is one of the slickest operations we've experience (we've dived lots of places). So I'm not sounding like a fan girl, two negatives - we didn't see a Mola Mola (not their fault) and I would have like a better dive briefing from our DM. But, if you're going to Dive Penida, and want a smooth, safe and top quality option.. this is you.

Family dive/snorkel trip - Great service started with a pick up from our hotel and return after the day trip. Nice takeaway lunch on the boat, good equipment and a great guide.

Fantastic Diving and Fantastic People - After researching dive shops in Bali I decided to give Bali Scuba a go. They have a 5-star PADI rating and I can see why. They were communicative and accommodating from the start.Their drivers picked me up at my hotel. (They were early and waiting on me every day.) Dody handled my three day bookings and personally met me and completed all of my paperwork when I arrived. I was impressed by the friendliness of all of the staff. Sila was assigned as my dive master. I was a single diver and was the only one not being certified he became my dive buddy for the three days. The other instructors were helpful to me, but I saw them working very well with their students. (If I were getting OW certified, or any certification, I would want their instruction!) I am certified as a Master Scuba Diver with over 100 dives and these were some of the best dives that I have had. Over the three days I dove Padang Bai, USAT Liberty shipwreck in Tulamben, and Nusa Penida. Sila did a great job of dive briefing and planning. Each dive went as expected and were fabulous. One of the three dives off Nusa Penida had a strong current, but Sila had explained how we would handle getting out of it in the middle of the dive so that it lengthen our bottom time. As we tried the maneuver I missed the mark by a little and had to climb up his leg to get to the right spot. He acted like it was not a problem. He was the consumate professional

3 day dives at Nusa Penida - Instructor Yanick was extremely helpful and friendly. Completed 3 dives with him as my dive master at Nusa Penida and was lucky enough to meet a wide variety of marine life including mantas, mola and loggerheads. I enjoyed my course with Bali Scuba a lot and will definitely come back again soon for more dives with them.

Lovely dives with the Bali Scuba professionals! - I've done a course earlier with Bali Scuba. This time went for the Nusa Penida day dive. As always, the Bali Scuba team ensures everything is operated professionally, safe and secure. We could spot Mola Mola, Manta Rays, cuttle fish and a lot of other colorful schools of fish. It was an amazing experience under water. I strongly recommend Bali Scuba if you're planning a fun dive or diving course in Bali!

Great diving with great service - felt like family! - Great facility - loved Tangkas - he was very professional and looked after me! Will definitely be back and potentially interested in IDC. Collected for free from my hotel every morning at 7pm and taken to the dive centre for briefing and equipment collection. The shop is well stocked and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Everyone was smiling and happy to help - I loved my time with Bali Scuba. I would definitely recommend the centre to friends and family - thanks for the diving. Never try never know!

Excellent Scuba Experience - My first diving experience in Bali was with Bali Scuba. Everything from start to finish was first-rate. Abe answered all my initial questions the first time via email, and the booking process was easy and understandable. When I arrived at Bali Scuba I was greeted immediately and we went through the equipment selection and final payment very quickly. Pick up from my hotel and getting to and from the dive site was handled in a timely, comfortable and professional manner. The food provided was very good. The dive masters did everything in their power to make my experience enjoyable and most of all safe. I had the utmost confidence in the dive teams, there was no cutting corners, everything was by the book. All of the people on my dive trips felt the same way. I highly recommend Bali Scuba and I will be using them next time I am in Bali.

Excellent day’s diving - Thank you Bali Scuba for a superb day at Nusa Penida. Friendly and highly professional crew. Mola Mola and Manta - could not have been luckier. Highly recommended provided that you can cope with the very high speed boat crossing.
