Diving in Penida can be very rewarding with exhilarating drift diving and the chance to get up close and personal with manta rays and sunfish; however, the bizarre ever changing currents make this a location for experienced divers only. The locals know that caution is always recommended on Nusa Penida/Lembongan as on a bad day the swell can be rather large and the sweeping currents can give even the most experienced diver nightmares.

It is highly recommended that you pre-book your diving with us as ‘Sunfish Season’ can be very busy.
Nusa Penida Safety Warning:
Many operators in Bali will take divers out to Nusa Penida without even checking certification cards. If you have less than twenty dives or haven’t dived in a while, don’t even think about risking it.
