Nusa Penida Day Trip for 3 dives

Search a lot of dive shops before finally picking one. This company was friendly from the start to the very end. I took my two boys and they could not have been more helpful. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a great day under the water.

We had the best diving yesterday with Bali Scuba! Pick up at our hotel was on time. Boat was in great condition with lots of shade! Gear was excellent!!! We were taken to the dive shop first to fit and check our gear. Approximately 1 hour boat ride to Nusa Penida. Take some sea sickness tablets if you usually get sea sick. First dive was Manta point. We were amazed by the majestic manta ray. They were breathtaking! The dive was about 45 minutes and visibility was about 20m. Water was a beautiful blue. The manta came right up to us. When we got out of the water we had fresh fruit and cold drinks. We then had a quick trip to Crystal Bay. This was a pretty dive. After this dive we had a lovely lunch. We weren’t sure if it was safe to eat but it looked delicious and we were hungry so we tucked into it! It was delicious and I’m happy to report that we didn’t get sick. I thought I’d add that into the review in case you are unsure. The last dive was AMAZING! It was a drift dive at Mangrove Point Nusa Lembongan. The drift was fast but we were diving for nearly an hour. Soooooo much to see, especially turtles and many fish. I would highly recommend paying a little more for your own dive guide. The currents on the dive are very strong and there are many boats in the area. The guide ensures that you can surface safely!!! They also point out amazing things along your dive that you might not see and they help you into and out of your gear! Tanks are refilled between dives and all your equipment it sorted between dives for you! A big shout out to our guide Yannik who made our day so fun!! This is a must do for any divers, even if you are a new diver like me! I felt safe the whole time! Happy diving!

I have been with BaliScuba since I started my discovery diving last Oct 2024 and taken my Padi open water Diving course in April 2025. It was a fantastic experience with my instructor Mr Farish and his teammates Mr Sila and the rest ! Each diving and snorkeling makes a different experience in different locations .

Bali Scuba were amazing. Safe, professional and efficient. And very friendly. Diving was tricky with big surges, and rough on the surface. They made it all work seamlessly and the three drives were all excellent - and very varied. On top of everything else they sent me video the dive master took of our amazing encounter with manta rays - for no charge. Can’t speak highly enough of them

The best Scuba company! This was our second visit in a year and we weren't disappointed. Fantastic local knowledge about the conditions, great equipment, friendly and professional service and very courteous and kind dive masters. Big thanks to Budi, Coyak, Farish and Yannick.

This is an exceptionally well run dive shop, with friendly and competent staff at every step of the way. Our guide Gede was outstanding, but everyone on the boat and in the shop went out of their way to be helpful. Excellent boat, too. The three-tank trip to Nusa Penida was one of the highlights of our three-week dive trip to Bali. Highly recommend this shop!

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.

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.

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

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.
