This activity is very unique and a must-do while in Nusa Penida, due to the ability to see manta rays almost certainly. This is one of only a few places in the world that guarantees manta sightings. Nusa Penida is an amazing beautiful island on land and more importantly underwater. If you are bored on the land, take one of our trips and you will remember this great experience with manta rays for a lifetime.

Had an amazing experience with Sanctum Scuba Dive! 🤿🌊 The entire experience was well organised, safe, and enjoyable from start to finish. The instructors were professional, friendly, and very supportive, especially for first-time divers. The underwater experience was beautiful, and the team made sure we felt comfortable and confident throughout the dive. Everything was explained clearly, and the staff were patient and helpful.
Great experience with engaged and fun staff and breathtaking dive seeing the mantas for the first time!
Incredible experience from start to finish. Wonderful people, reliable dive centre, good equipment, safety conscious, exceptionally respectful of the environment and wildlife, super fun, excellent music taste 💃🏽
I found the diving incredibly fun and had a very pleasant experience all day. Since I already had my diving certificate, it was nice to dive with an experienced and professional diving school. I felt comfortable all day and found the guidance very pleasant. Everything was well arranged and the atmosphere was great. Definitely a recommendation!
I did two dives, Crystal Bay and a Manta Dive. Very nice and professional shop, Guides, staff and masters divers were all very welcoming and professional. I would always go again with sanctum dive.
Overall experience was great, from easy communication/booking over WhatsApp, friendly & helpful staffs at the dive center, and having an awesome dive master, Zach. He took insane under-water shots for us and made sure we were safe at all times!! 👍🏼
Yesterday I made two dives with Sanctum, first of all, the reception is very professional, you can fill out all the documentation online via QR codes, you get a good explanation and then go on the boat. We were lucky to go to Manta Point, the sea was very rough, the waves very high but they made us completely comfortable, once on the way it was exciting whether we could dive at Manta Point, the sea was indeed very rough, but after discussion we sailed on and made our dive at Manta Point, we were nicely informed that the visibility would not be good due to the state of the waves and current, all in all we made a (short) but beautiful dive, the most important thing was that despite the poor visibility we could admire the Mantas (we did all this with our 11-year-old son) after this we made a second dive at Pad a very beautiful coral reef where you just floated along with the current. Despite the wilder sea/conditions, had two top dives; the guidance was also incredibly nice.
Beautiful, worth knowing team hoessta and trustworthy
Sanctum Davie were wonderful! My instructor “Ai” was THE BEST, beautiful and fun energy, and with 10,000 dives under his belt I felt I was in very capable hands, I felt very safe and well cared for. The dive location was pure magic! At Amanda Point I got the chance to dive with at least 12 Giant Manta, and then at the second dive at Crystal Bay a pod of 50 dolphins dawn along side us, babies and all, pure magical experience. Thank you Ai! 🙏💫💫💫💫🐬
Sanctum Dive were fantastic. Ambus, my Divemaster was helpful, welcoming and a true professional. Sanctum’s communication before I booked was very helpful, including what travel arrangements I needed to make from Nusa Dua. Lunch, which was provided, was delicious and fresh. I’ll definitely come back to Bali and will absolutely dive again with Santum Dive. Highly recommend!!
