Best of Bali Diving

Scuba Diving in Padangbai is one of the best and most diverse around Bali. There are several very good spots for beginners and for advanced scuba divers. You can choose your dive site in Padangbai based entirely on you interests.

More challenging diving sites with currents have a great opportunity to spot reef sharks, tunas, various rays, turtles and schools of fish. Macro lovers and underwater photographers will definitely enjoy the diverse macro life at Jepun, Blue Lagoon or Jetty.

Get ready for an unforgettable underwater experience at Toyapakeh, one of the top dive sites in the region! Just a quick 20-minute boat ride from Padangbai, this dive spot is perfectly positioned at the entrance of the Ceningan Channel, where the powerful Indonesian Through-Flow delivers an explosion of marine life, from massive schools of fish to vibrant nutrients that feed the spectacular coral gardens below.

In the shallow waters, you’ll be mesmerized by a kaleidoscope of healthy corals teeming with colorful reef fish. Venture deeper, and you’ll discover breathtaking coral bommies blanketed in elegant gorgonians and lush soft corals—a true paradise for underwater photographers and nature lovers alike.

For those who crave a thrill, the sloping deep waters channel swift currents through the Ceningan Channel, offering an adrenaline-pumping drift dive experience. But even on calm days, Toyapakeh’s beauty will blow you away.

Whether you’re chasing the current or just soaking in the scenery, Toyapakeh promises an exhilarating dive like no other!

The Manta Point dive site is located on Nusa Penida, and you can dive with manta rays there all year round. Nusa Penida is an island southeast of Bali, and a boat trip to Manta Point from Padangbai offers stunning views of Nusa Penida’s beautiful coastline, which you will surely enjoy.

The coastline of the Manta Point dive site consists of dramatic limestone cliffs that drop straight into the ocean, creating a spectacular dive site and a cleaning station for manta rays. Manta Point is undoubtedly the best dive site in Bali for an unforgettable manta ray diving experience. The second dive is usually done at Crystal Bay.

Crystal Bay Nusa Penida is one of the few places in the world where you can dive with Mola Mola (ocean sunfish) between July and October. The water at Crystal Bay is almost always crystal clear, and the coral reefs are vibrant and full of marine life.
