Scuba Center Asia
About Us
Scuba Center Asia Lembongan was founded by PADI Award-winning dive professionals Kim & Bastiaan and has grown over the past 16 years into one of the few PADI Five Star Instructor Development Dive Resorts of the Nusa Penida Marine Park located at Lembongan island. We deliver world-class diving with a boutique, personal touch.
We believe diving should be more than just a trip or a course. Our mission is to inspire, train, and mentor divers of all levels to explore and protect the ocean. Whether you’re here for a manta ray bucket-list dive, a fun holiday with friends, or a career-changing professional course.
At Scuba Center Asia, every diver is guided and trained to leave with more than just a certification; you leave as ambassadors for the ocean. This is where passion and professionalism come together. This is where legends are made.

Scuba Center Asia is all about diving. Being located in the Mushroom Bay area, we’re surrounded by some of the most beautiful accommodatons to stay on Nusa Lembongan.
From here, you’re just two steps away from our Mushroom beach, a 5 min scooter ride to Dream Beach, and a quick scooter ride to our little sister island, Ceningan and the iconic Yellow Bridge. Best part? Mushroom Bay sits right in the middle of the island, far from the busy, noisy Jungut Batu area, but close to everything you’ll want to explore.

The Lounge
Your Island Living Room
The Lounge restaurant is in the heart of Scuba Center Asia. It’s where divers, surfers, travelers, and locals come together to share stories, sip great coffee, and soak up the Mushroom Bay vibe. Think relaxed, good food, and full of island energy.
Open at 7 am, The Lounge is the first coffee shop to wake up in the area! Ideal for a pit stop before heading out to Manta Point, your yoga or surf session. With the best croissants and brown bread on the island, you’d be crazy not to drop in for a pre-, post-dive brunch or cheeky afternoon snack.
The Lounge is more than a café, it’s a community hub. Digital nomads set up with laptops, divers review their PADI eLearning, and locals pop in for their favorite food. Famous for our loaded Dutch fries, crispy baguettes, croissants, fresh salads and smoothie bowls. It’s the island’s living room, with a true Scuba Center Asia welcome.
