Full description

This is a 8-hour experience in Nusa Penida. It is run by Bali Diving Academy, 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.

Snorkelling off Nusa Penida is about the reef manta rays at Manta Point on the island's south coast, where they are present year-round, feeding and being cleaned in the swell at the base of the cliffs. Boats then move to calmer spots such as Crystal Bay, Gamat Bay and the wall at Buyuk for coral and fish. Between July and October, Crystal Bay is also the place divers come for the oceanic sunfish, mola mola, which rise from deep water in the cooler months. Manta Point is exposed to southern swell and boats skip it when the sea is up, so a day here is always weather-dependent. The crossing from Sanur is thirty to forty-five minutes.

The price covers Dive Guide, 3 snorkeling Sites, Lunch and snacks, Water and Transport from most locations in south Bali. It does not cover Gopro camera, Transport outside south bali based on request with and MPA Nusa Penida Marine Protected Area water activities fee, 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.

Bali Diving Academy sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Bali Diving Academy before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Le spot des raies Manta au top!! Dommage pour la fréquentation… tout le monde veut plongée, pour la meilleur vidéo, coup de palmes à répétitions.. Faut absolument préciser qu’il faut payer la taxe 100.000 roupies en cash/personnes pour la préservation environnementale..

Nouto ja palautus hotellille sujui mutkattomasti. Kommunikointi WhatsApp’in kautta sujui sekin hyvin; saimme kasviruuan lounaaksi. Snorklauskohteet olivat mielenkiintoisia ja Manta Bayssa snorklasimme mantojen seassa. Bali Diving Academy’n väki on ammattitaitoista ja ystävällistä. Suosittelen todella!

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.
