This 15 days diving safari will take you to the most iconic dive sites of Bali and Nusa Penida. The tour also includes some visits on land and some free time. Of course we are happy to adjust the program depending on your needs. For a custom offer, just contact us with the form below and we will get back to you shortly.
Our driver will pick you up at the airport and drive you to your hotel in Sanur where you will spend your first day in Bali.
This is a free day for you to recover from your trip and enjoy some relaxing time in Sanur.
Night in Sanur (Kembali Lagi Guest-House, Taksu sanur or Puri Mesari Hotel)
Our driver will pick you up at 7am and drive you to the dive center where you will meet your guides, fill in the necessary paperwork and try the equipment if necessary.
Once ready, we will start driving, heading to the north of the island. On the road you will discover the magnificent Jatiluwih rice terrace. Along the way, we will also make some visits in the volcanic area of Bedugul. We will visit a temple and stop at some beautiful view points to admire the Bratan, Buyan and Tambligan lakes.
We will then visit a traditional market before having lunch in Bedugul. After lunch, we will head for a visit in the famous water temple Ulun Danau Bratan.
After the visit, we will continue our journey to reach Pemuteran where you will spend the night.
Menjangan is a beautiful small island located in the north west of Bali. It is part of the Bali Barat National Park. The island is protected from the strong currents between Bali and Java and is mostly inhabited, except by a small community of deers. This is where the island got its name from: the word Menjangan means deer in traditional Javanese.
For diving, the island offers a great variety of marine life, coral reefs and usually benefits from an incredible visibility. Most of the dive sites are walls, between 10 and 40 meters deep.
We will stop on the island for lunch between the dives. There, if you are lucky, you will be able to observe the deers or to assist to a balinese ceremony on the island’s temple.
For this day of diving, we offer 2 options.
Option A: 2 muck dives from shore Secret Bay (Gilimanuk)
If you are a fan of muck and macro dive or if you are an experienced underwater photographer, Secret Bay in Gilimanuk is a must. The bay is relatively large, with an average depth of 6 meters. On the black volcanic sand, your guide will help you to find incredible and rare species.
Option B: 2 boat dives in Pemuteran
If muck diving is not your thing, you will love the warm and crystal clear waters around Pemuteran. The coral reefs around Pemuteran are beautiful and are suited for all level of divers.
After the diving we will have lunch and get in the car to head to Tulamben (3 hours drive) where you will spend the night.
Tulamben is the home of one of Bali’s most popular dive site, the USAT Liberty wreck. This is a must dive! The 120 meters long wreck is just a few meters from the shore, with depths ranging from 5 to 35 meters.
For the second dive, we will head to the Drop Off. This incredible wall starts at 15 meters and drops to 80 meters at its deepest point. The wall is very rich in marine life and the incredible topography of the site will not let you down.
The last dive will be at the Coral Garden, located just between the Liberty wreck and the drop off. There you will observe a very rich coral reef with some natural and some artificial underwater structures, attracting a great variety of species.
If you wish to do a night dive, we can switch the Coral Garden dive by a night dive on the Liberty wreck.
Night at Ocean Sun resort in Tulamben
We start the day at 5am for an early morning dive on the Liberty wreck. This is the best time to avoid the crowd and to observe the famous humphead parrotfish slowly get out of the wreck where they spent the night.
After having breakfast, we will head to Amed for two dives. We will first dive the Pyramids dive site which consists of 25 artificial pyramids that are full of life.
We will then explore the Jemeluk wall which is also a great dive site for macro.
Night in Amed
We will start the day at 8am and go for 3 dives in the Banyuning bay: the Japanese Wreck, Deep Blue and Gili Selang.
The Japanese wreck is a small patrol wreck from World War II. The remains sit at a depth of 12 meters in average and is now a beautiful artificial reef. A bit deeper, along the coral slope we can find mantis shrimps, ghost pipefishes, scorpion fishes and many nudibranchs.
Gili Selang, a tiny island just a few meters from the coast, is a beautiful and well preserved dive site. The corals are beautiful and many species gather around the island to feed. Barracudas, tunas, giant trevallies, reef sharks and many more to observe there.
Deep Blue is a drift dive next to the Japanese wreck. Along the slope we can spot a school of Napoleons, huge parrotfishes and sometimes some white tip and black tip reef sharks.
After the dives, we will head to Padangbai and spend the night there.
This day, we offer 2 options, depending on your level of diving:
Option 1: Gili islands in the bay of Amuk (Candidasa) – Gili Tepekong, Gili Biaha and Gili Mimpang – for experienced divers as we can experience strong current there.
Option 2: Blue Lagoon dive sites – Easy and accessible for all divers.
We will start the day at 8am and head for two dives in Padangbai. We will reach the dive sites with a jukung (traditional balinese boat).
We will first dive the Blue Lagoon dive site where we can find a wide variety of life.
The second dive will be on the Jepun. A fishing boat wreck where we can find many rare species like frogfishes, seahorses, cuttlefishes and many more.
Transfer and night in Ubud
We will leave Sanur at 8am, heading to Nusa Penida for 3 dives. The speed boat ride takes approximately 45 minutes to reach our first dive site of the day, Manta Point.
Manta Point is a cleaning station for manta rays. They can be spotted year long on this dive site.
We will then head to Crystal Bay, another emblematic dive site of Nusa Penida. It is a beautiful dive site, well known for frequent Mola-Mola (sunfish) spotting during the right season (from august to October).
The third dive site will be decided upon the conditions. It will be a drift dive, either at Mangrove, PED or the SD dive site.
This is a day to relax before heading back home. Hang out on the beach, do some shopping or get a massage, you decide!
Our driver will drive you back to the airport at the most convenient time for you to catch your flight.
