5 Fun Dives in Nusa Lembongan (for certified divers) - Swim with a Mola Mola

About this tour

Five guided dives across Nusa Lembongan's prime sites, led by experienced instructors who know where the big animals congregate. Over two days, you'll descend into channels where manta rays cruise, hunt for oddball creatures like mola molas in deeper water, explore kelp forests and coral gardens, and investigate two submerged wrecks. All gear supplied; the pace is built around maximising what you see rather than rushing between spots.

Highlights

• Dive Manta Bay and Crystal Bay—reliable manta ray encounters
• Hunt mola mola (sunfish) in open water with experienced guides
• Two shipwreck explorations with historical context
• Macro diving for nudibranchs, crustaceans, and small rarities
• Mangrove channel descent—unusual topography and juvenile fish nurseries
• Five dives completed within seven days at your pace
• Full technical kit, weights and wetsuits included

What to expect

You'll spend two days doing five open-water dives at sites your instructor knows intimately. Each descent targets different marine habitats—shallow reefs where mangroves grip the seafloor, channels swept by current where rays and molas appear, wreck penetrations if conditions permit, and macro zones requiring patience and a torch. Conditions vary; current can run strong, so buoyancy control matters. Instructors brief you on where creatures congregate, what to look for, and how to position yourself for sightings without harassing animals. Expect to see abundant coral and fish life even on quieter days; the manta and mola sightings aren't guaranteed but probable given the season and site selection.
