About this tour
Launch your diving journey with two guided dives around Nusa Penida's reefs, departing from Sanur. Bali Diving Academy has run this operation since 1991, putting you in the water with certified instructors who know the local marine landscape. You'll spend eight hours on the boat and underwater, encountering the region's coral systems and reef life. Ideal if you're curious about diving but haven't trained yet—this discover experience doubles as your first taste before committing to a full certification course.

What to expect
You'll meet your guide and crew early, then head by boat to Nusa Penida. Before entering the water, the instructor walks you through breathing and basic techniques—no pressure, just safety basics. First dive is shallow, letting you adjust to the sensation. You'll surface, refuel on the boat, then head out for a second dive to a different site. Between dives, expect time to decompress and eat. The boat moves around depending on sea state; specific sites like Manta Point are popular but aren't guaranteed every day. Expect calm handling from experienced staff.
Good to know
Moderate fitness required. Not suitable if pregnant, recovering from spinal injury, or with cardiovascular concerns. Book in advance, especially if you want particular dive sites. Bring sunscreen and a light jacket for the boat ride.
