We organise diving tours to all of the sites below.  Overnight and multiple-site diving tours can be arranged.  We are both a
PADI (S-21462) and SSI (#741044) certified dive centre and offer both PADI and SSI diving instruction and certification.  

Tired of being put on a minibus or boat with 10-15 other people and having to follow the group during the dive rather than
explore where YOU want to go?  Then book with us - all of our dive tours and courses are private, we do not mix groups.  Our
maximum ratio is one dive guide per four certified divers.
Location:
 Three sister islands off the east coast of Bali.  About 45-75 minutes by

titan triggerfish, schools of longfin bannerfish, a large assortment of

Highlights:
 Nusa Penida is home to some of the healthiest corals in Bali.  Beautiful
white beaches and clear aquamarine water.  Crystal Bay and Blue
Corner find the mola-mola abundant in season (August to October)
and Manta Point is famous for its giant manta rays.  Crystal Bay is also
famous for its Bat Cave where you can surface inside the cave.  The
North Coast has some of the best drift diving in all of Bali.
Comments:
 This is one of the best dive areas in all of Bali.  However, at certain
times some dive sites cannot be accessed due to tides, strong swells
and currents, so you will need to be flexible in your dive plan.  Some
areas are only for very experienced divers (for example, Blue Corner).  
Currents can be wild with strong down-pulls so be sure to stay close
to our experienced guides and close to the reef.  The visibility is
normally excellent in Nusa Penida but the water can sometimes
become very cold and thermals are common, even down to 18 degrees
Celsius.

Pura Jepun lies 50 meters off shore directly in front of the shrine after
which it was named.  The reef starts at 10 meters and the slope will
take you down to 20 meters after which it levels out at 40 meters.   
Tanjung Sari is one of the most surprising dives as it has a distinct
population of various types of sharks.  Blue Lagoon is protected and
shallow.
Comments:
Good diving all year round but surface conditions can be rough.  Also,
sometimes there are strong currents and swells coming from the
Lombok Strait, creating unpredictable water movements.  
Location:
East coast of Bali.  Sites include Tepekong, Mimpang and Biaha.
Type of Dive:
Reef, slope and canyon.
Depths:
5-40 meters.
Current:
Strong and sometimes unpredictable.

10-30 meters.
Experience Level:
Advanced only.
Topography:
 Spectacular diving site with large acropora table and leather corals.  
The corals in this area are very healthy, although in some areas they
are low, dense and stunted because they are exposed to strong
currents and big swells.  These dive sites are famous for their reefs
and interesting underwater landscapes.  There are large coral
formations, boulders and even a 15 meter hole to swim through (the
“Blue Hole”) if conditions are right.
Marine Life:
 Sharks!  Sharks! Sharks!  This area is a great place to find the larger
pelagics – sharks, turtles, giant cuttlefish and very large sweetlips.  
Also, tuna, lionfish, scorpionfish, stingrays, long fin banner fish,
schooling batfish and triggerfish are commonly seen.  All three dive
sites have a multitude of reef fish and many large visitors from the
deeper depths of the ocean, including occasional dolphins.
Highlights:
Sharks!  Sharks! Sharks!  This is a spectacular dive site for the larger
pelagics.  
Comments:
The coral walls are steep and the current is cold.  The canyon is also
called “the toilet” by the locals as currents can be very strong with a
down-pull when there is a surface swell.  The Candidasa dive sites are
for experienced divers only, due to the challenging and frequently
unpredictable currents and surges.  The waters can also quickly
change from warm to unusually cold (down to 20 degrees Celsius).  
Visibility can be affected by the currents, but it is usually excellent.  We
require that divers have a minimum of Advanced Open Water
certification, 50 logged dives and strong current diving experience in
order to dive this area.  Surface conditions can also be rough and
challenging.

Highlights:
Amed makes for both a great snorkeling and diving site, for both
beginners and advanced divers.  The coral formations are stunning
and photographers will love this dive site.  The corals are at shallow
enough depths to provide excellent light for great pictures.  Also a
treasure for macro photography.  
Comments:
 Frequented less than its sister dive site in Tulamben, Amed is
definitely worth a visit.  If you're doing two dives at Tulamben it's well
worth it to add a third dive to your day in Amed on the way home or
just spend the whole day diving there.  It's a quiet village with friendly
people and a number of good places to eat right on the beach or
overlooking the ocean.

variety of fish from small anemones to large sharks.  It’s good for
beginner and advanced divers alike, offering a number of dive sites
depending on skill level.  This is also a great site for snorkeling.

About a 30 minute drive from Menjangan is Secret Bay which is an
interesting muck diving site and worth a visit for macro-

Highlights:
This is one of the favourite dive sites of the owners of JSM.  There is
an unbelievable diversity of marine life.  The USAT Liberty shipwreck is
an incredible dive and some of the ship's guns even remain intact.  
When the ship sank it was broken into two pieces, so even beginners
can explore the inside of the ship and still have a clear view of the
surface.  Diverse coral now covers the ship. The beautiful wall dive
about a kilometer from the shipwreck in front of the Mimpi hotel is a
gentle dive with a wide variety of coral and fish.  Batu Klebit is an
excellent dive where you may see the occasional whale shark.   At
Kubu, there is a stunning white fan coral at 35 meters.  The night
diving is exceptional.
Comments:
This site also makes for great snorkeling and skin diving as the
highest point of the shipwreck is about 4 meters below the surface so
even snorkelers can view parts of the ship from the surface.  One
word of caution, rocks can be sharp and the volcanic rocks on the
beach can make entering and exiting the water quite a challenge.  
Make sure you stay off the bottom as the black volcanic sand is a
great hiding place for stingrays.  Also, be sure to avoid the fire coral
which is not actually coral but more closely related to stinging
anemones (it can cause intense pain and rash).  This is a fantastic site
for beginner and professional photographers alike.

Waters are clear and there is an abundance of coral fish.

 If you're doing a diving safari from Tulamben to Menjangan, Lovina is
worth a visit and even an overnight stay.  Night diving can also be
arranged.
