Had an amazing time diving with Bali Diving Academy in Amed & Nusa Penida! The whole team was super welcoming and professional, and the dive center has such a friendly vibe. A big shoutout to my guide Adi – the most fun, friendly, and caring dive guide! He made every dive safe, relaxed, and unforgettable. Highly recommend Bali Diving Academy to anyone diving in Bali—you’ll be in great hands! 🌊🐠

I went for 3 dives in Nusa Penida and 3 dives in Emat in the following day. The third dive in Nusa Penida was my first experience with drift dive and it was only myself and Adi because the other divers were tired. Also in following day was only myself and Adi to Emat and I can say the experience was amazing! He is very reliable and gave very good tips to improve my buoyancy. He also gave clear instructions on the drift dive that made me relax and trust it. The photos attached were taken by him. Thank you Adi!

Was awesome Mantas everywhere tk many to count just hanging at 10 metres and watch the show. Staff were amazing and so enviromentaly minded. The dive site is 15 metres deep allowing for PADI Discover Scuba diving (unqualified) paticipants to join with a PADI instructor. A must do for everyone.

My mom and I did the day trip to Nusa Penida cause she wanted to see the mola mola. Our guide Adi was fantastic and we did get to see one mola mola which was amazing. Adi was probably the best tour guide we had while visiting Bali altogether. He was super knowledgeable, friendly and professional. The trip was very convenient for wanting to dive Nusa Penida with limited time.

Wonderful diving experience with ones in a lifetime sighting of Menta Ray Navy! Bali Diving Academy’s owners and staff are all very friendly and helpful. Well executed dive plan helped us see everything we wanted. Gone out of their way to help us figure out logistics. Guides are multi lingual speaking English, Cantonese, Mandarin, Italian etc!

For our holiday in Bali, I was looking for a dive school where we could scuba dive and snorkel and Bali Diving Academy, Sanur, was the one which offered both. They are definitely a five-star dive center for several reasons: BOOKING PROCEDURE: I got in touch with them via their WhatsApp contact. The response time is very quick and they provided all the information I needed. I paid a deposit to secure our booking. The balance I settled on the day. They accept credit card payment which made it easier than carry cash. ACTIVITY: The pick-up on the morning of our dive / snorkeling - the car was punctual and the driver sent us a message once he arrived at the hotel. We were driven to their dive center in Sanur and my daughter who was diving went to speak with their dive masters and check the equipment, get fitted for a wetsuit, booties etc. We rented a go-pro camera from them and got quick instruction on this. My husband and I who were snorkeling got fitted for our wetsuits and flippers and got more information on where we were snorkeling. The entire setup is very professional with safety measures very accurately conveyed to us. We had a few other people join us and once everyone was ready we set out for the beach from where we got a small boat onto their larger boat. The boat has overhead covering which helped as it was a blazing hot day. We first stopped at Crystal Bay where a few people snorkeled and others went diving. The second stop was Manta Bay and true to it’s name, there were lots of large manta rays. The final stop was Mangrove Bay which was teeming with coral. Three different dive / snorkeling spots with different things to see. PROVISIONS: They provided us with all the diving and snorkeling equipment. On the boat they provided water, coffee, biscuits, towels and a packed lunch for which they had taken our order in advance. All in all, they are a very professional organisation, divers and instructors who know what they are doing, putting safety first, and I highly recommend them.

We did the three dives at nusa penida! The dives were amazing with mantas, turtles, fishes and coral reefs! The best dives ever! During these dives we felt very safe because of the instructor (Adi)! He really helped us when we needed help and was very understanding and professional!

I loved this dive company and crew! Very accommodating and helpful, knowledgeable, enjoyable. They took us to some amazing spots and took great care of us. It was my first time ocean diving and they were helpful and supportive while also seeing so many ama8’g animals like mantra rays, turtles, eels, beautiful fish and reefs in the 3 dive tour alongside people who had been diving 10+ years. It was perfect. Highly recommend them!!
