Additional Notes

Penida Dive Resort

The island is less than 25 kilometres far from Bali. It is still a place without any purely commercial tourism. It measures about 70 kilometres along the coast. The highest peak of the island is Mundi, rising to 503 metres above sea level. The southern coast is formed by amazing rocks and dramatic sceneries. The cliffs here are as high as 300 m. In the bays, you can observe mantas or dolphins.

You will find here even several amazing forested valleys with magical canyons and ponds. These are prevailingly sacred places. The western shore of the island is framed by reefs falling to a more than 200 metres deep canyon that separates Nusa Penida from Ceningan Island.

In this part of the island, there is the Toyapakeh Bay where Penida Dive Resort is settled. The northern coast is densely populated. The capital, Sampalan, is located in this part of the island, and it is also the destination of ferries coming from Bali, which arrive daily. The eastern coast is wild and hardly accessible. There are numerous Hindu villages in the interior of the island. Nusa Penida is still like a virgin pearl right in the vicinity of the commercial Bali.

Penida Dive Resort and its experienced guides are ready to present you 20 sites out of which some are ranked among pearls of world's diving terrains. Three years of diving in the waters of Nusa Penida and over 2.500 dives in these terrains serves as insurance for remarkable diving adventures.

Generally speaking, the diving conditions at Nusa Penida are convenient for advanced divers AOWD. For less experienced OWD divers, we will prepare a less demanding programme. The guides are authorized to evaluate divers' state and experience, and decide about their not diving in case there were any reasons for that.

Each diver has to pass training on sites and on rules before diving, has to have a special insurance for diving, and signs a form about understanding the instructions for diving with Penida Dive Resort. Follow our instructions and, in return, we are ready to organize amazing and remarkable dives in beautiful sites at the best moments.

To dive among a shoal of mantas or to dive among ocean sunfish are real adventures for which divers have been coming already for several years. We do diving courses OWD CPS during 4 days (6 dives, 6 hours theory).
