Full description

This is a 3-day experience in Nusa Penida, built around Equipment fitting & dive briefing, First dive: USAT Liberty Shipwreck and Surface interval with refreshments. It is run by Auravena Travel, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Nusa Penida is the largest of the three islands off Bali's south-east coast, about 200 square kilometres of limestone with cliffs on the south and west and a few villages on the north coast where the boats land. It has no traffic to speak of but its roads are narrow and slow, which is why a day trip covers either the west side (Kelingking, Broken Beach, Angel's Billabong) or the east (Diamond Beach, Atuh, Tree House), not both. Fast boats from Sanur take thirty to forty-five minutes, run from around 7:00, and are cancelled or delayed in a big swell. Bring cash: card machines are rare and the ATMs are unreliable.

The price covers Hotel pick-up and drop-off, dive guide, Dive briefings, 6 scuba dives and Full scuba diving equipment. It does not cover Personal expenses, Underwater photos and videos, Additional dives and Tips for guides and drivers, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Meet your driver in the hotel lobby and begin the journey to Tulamben. Enjoy a scenic drive through East Bali before arriving at the dive center. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Auravena Travel before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

The strait to Nusa Penida and the manta sites take open-ocean swell. On big days the operator diverts to sheltered sites or cancels the crossing, and that is their call on the morning, not ours. If a cancellation is theirs you are refunded in full. Keep phones and passports in a dry bag; boarding at some harbours means wading from the beach.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
