About Nusa Penida

Nusa Penida is Bali's premier dive destination, famous worldwide for its encounters with giant oceanic manta rays at Manta Point and the rare ocean sunfish (mola mola) at Crystal Bay during season (July-October). The island's dive sites feature dramatic underwater topography with deep walls, strong currents that bring in pelagic species, and pristine coral gardens. Sites like Toyapakeh and SD Point offer calmer conditions with beautiful reef systems. The 45-minute speedboat crossing from Sanur adds an element of adventure to every trip.

Diver Reviews

Did my PADI Open Water here and it was hands down the best decision of my Bali trip. Instructors are patient, knowledgeable, and made me feel safe the entire time. The Tulamben wreck dive on day 3 was unreal.

PADI Open Water

The Nusa Penida manta trip was absolutely incredible. Saw 4 mantas on the first dive and the Crystal Bay dive was equally stunning. Small group, great guide, perfect day.

Rented a full set of gear for 3 days. Everything was in excellent condition and well-maintained. Fair prices compared to other shops. Staff were super helpful.
