I had one of the best experiences possible while learning to dive. The instructors make you feel at home with top of the line equipment and instruction. We finished off our Open Water with a dive where we got to see everything from turtles to octopus and anything in between.
Fanatic experience- highly recommend

I FINALLY got my scuba certification and couldn’t be happier! I was absolutely blown away by the professionalism and knowledge of Sib at Bali Diving Academy – Lembongan. Her focus on safety made me feel completely comfortable and confident throughout the entire process—I trusted her 100%. Claire was also a fantastic trainer—so fun, encouraging, and experienced. The underwater experiences we shared are ones I’ll never forget, and they’ve only deepened my already strong passion for scuba diving. I truly feel like I’ve had the best training possible and can’t wait to continue my diving journey from here!
Professional team and amazing sites

Did the deep diver specialty with Sybille. She was thorough and very professional, as were everyone else I dealt with and watched with other students / divers. Add to that they have access to amazing sites to see. Would recommend if you either want to learn or do fun dives

I took my OW class with Kevin and loved the experience. The vibe is really good, Carlos was very welcoming. A diving school that focuses on safety and respect for everyone's limits. Kevin is a competent, attentive and reassuring instructor. I recommend without hesitation.
Great course, great instructor!

While on holidays, my two children (13 and 17) did a 3 day PADI-course (Open Water Diver) at Bali Diving Academy in Lembongan, preceded by a hefty bit of prep online reading and tests (which they initially didn’t feel like much, but ultimately saw the use of quite soon upon starting the actual course). The instructors at BDA are really cool, knowledgeable and patient. Over the 3 day course my children teamed up with Ruben, whom they really liked and who taught them “more in 1 hour than all the diving we did before” (according to my son). Well done, Ruben! The course started with a day of pool instructions and exercises, followed by a half day of two actual open water dives (practising all manner of skills like CESA, buddy breathing, neutral buoyancy, etc.) and half a day of further advanced skills. The final day they made another two open water dives, and proudly got certified! All in all a very good experience, and highly recommended indeed. Many thanks Ruben, Carlos and all others at BDA!
