What to expect
You'll start in the facility's well-maintained training pool, where your instructor walks you through mask-clearing, breathing techniques, and basic underwater movements until you're comfortable. Once confident, you'll board the boat and head to the Nusa Penida reefs. The actual dive is unhurried—your guide stays close, keeping the group to a manageable pace and depth suitable for beginners. Expect around 30–40 minutes of actual bottom time, depending on conditions and your comfort. You'll surface with a clearer sense of what diving involves and whether you want to pursue certification.
Good to know
You must be a capable swimmer (200 metres) and comfortable floating in deep water. Fair cardiovascular health and clear ears, sinuses and lungs are essential. Pregnancy, spinal injuries and serious heart conditions rule this out. Hire a dive computer separately if you want one. Public transport reaches the departure point.
