Recommended 100%! - Incredible! Diving with 10+ manta rays at once was unbelievable. Dive master was kind and took pictures, which she promptly shared. That was the cherry on top. Recommended 100%!

Great dive center- amazing experience - This dive shop is legit, I don’t doubt it’s the best dive shop in Bali. I had my own DM, dive briefings were thorough and clear, and I always knew what to expect. The lunch provided accommodated for my gluten allergy and was delicious. It was like we were at a resort, beautiful dive shop and pool, towels, snacks, Dramamine all provided. My DM was very capable and helped me out in a strong down current. Also, diving with the mantas was amazing. The site was crowded but each DM only had an individual or buddy pair so I never got lost and got a lot of great interactions with the mantas. My partner did the discover dive and got a solid pool session and very attentive help from his instructor. I would absolutely dive here next time I come to Bali.

Perfect 10 out of 10 experience - best scuba diving service i have ever experience in my life. Mantas were awesome, one was swimming right above my head, literally 1 meter away! and my guide Nauwi had absolutely amazing eye sight, spotted 4 mantis shrimps, one moray eel and other very cool creatures down there even in the rock cracks! I am very impressed by this! service was very detailed, very caring crew team, they offer pick up and drop offs very very on time which was amazing, also offer snacks, brekkie and lunch boxes which all are in form of recyclable tools, very environmental freindly!!!! dive center itself is very clean and tidy and cozy, chill environment and crew members and the owner is very flexible for all changes. Last but not least, they provide 2 big towels for me to use after diving on the boat and hot shower in the dive center. i can only say flawless, after all i been to many places diving like aussie egypt south africa thailand etc, this is by far the BEST crew i have ever encountered. shout out to them, absolutely do not hesistate booking with them, you will not regret. and guys if you see this! keep it up i will be back!

Professional, friendly, memorable experience - Went diving with Neptune diving in Bali and in Komodo staying at their hotel Komodo Resort. The team made everything smooth for me, the reservation was quick, hotel pick-up was on time, they helped book the flight tickets from Bali to Labuan Bajo, a full on service that took me by surprise. even prepared a airport and boat transfer to get me to their private island in Komodo. I travelled solo but they were busy enough to meet new people and that added to the fun. Big shoutout to my dive guide Noe in Bali and to Yoga who helped with making everything happen. This was an experience that you can't forget especially because I got to see everything i wanted, especially the manta rays both in Bali and in Komodo.

Organized and Reliable - The drift dive was awesome and the best I ever had. The current was strong but felt safe to follow the dive master and enjoyed the ride. The trip was well organized. Pickup was on time. Equipment was functional. Briefing was on point and the dive crew was very help to get in and out of water. Will definitely trust and go with this operator again.

Massive gas fumes filled the boat - The dive was OK nothing I havent seen before but getting to the dive site was quite scary. Old boats with gas fumes filled the cabin. The dive site have tons of other dive boats so it's a bit dangerous. I could deal with the other divers but the boat ride was bad. They serve warm water so take your own thermos snake are ok Lunch is cold rice with an egg and cold chicken nuggets. I expected more..
