Today we tested the diving activity with mask, snorkel and fins. We went to Crystal Bay and then to Manta point. What a delight! We had the feeling to swim in a giant aquarium and swam with 2, then 3, 4 and even 5 manta rays. Impressive! The club boat and equipment were of good quality and the team was very professional, while being very zen. Many thanks to Lino, the diver who accompanied us for his vigilance and kindness. Activities to do in Nusa Lembomgan!
Great experience

Lauren, Lino and crew were so amazing. As first time divers, they made us feel safe and comfortable with all the equipment and navigating the water. We saw incredible wildlife and were treated with homemade Balinese food for lunch. You won’t regret diving here one bit!

My first scuba diving. Perfect dive master and nice instructors in trainning (especially Maria, lovely lady, so patient). They helped me achieve my childhood dream of seeing manta rays. I felt very safe, I could relax and just enjoy the dive. I was not scared thanks to instruktors, not for a moment. Thank you so much, you may not remember me, but I will always remember you. … two days later (once you try it, you can't stop): I would give ten points if I could:) very professional Dive Master Syb (you are the best!) and two very nice dive guides in training (Vive and Maria). I felt completely safe, comfortable, and could fully enjoy the pure joy of being underwater. Full service exactly according to the skills of each individual diver. Don't look for anyone else. Dive with BDA;)

The dive company used the Bali Dive Academy was excellent, with passionate instructors who wanted us to have a great time while not having any negative effects on the creatures or coral. Saw manta rays and turtles plus a great lunch, great value for money.
