Doing a PADI course? Same vibe, 4 students max per instructor, because quality matters.

Two dives per trip, tailored for you. Our diving trips start in the morning with 2 dives. Want to dive in the afternoon too? Just say the word, we’ll make it your dive day, your way.

Haven’t dive in a while? We got your back. With our in-house  scuba refresher session, you’ll brush up on the basics in the pool, then head out to the ocean feeling confident and ready.

our scuba adventure starts bright and early!
Please arrive at the dive shop by 7:30 AM. We time our dive trips with the tides and conditions for the best experience.  There is free coffee, tea, or water waiting for you! You meet your PADI Instructor or Divemaster and the fellow divers joining your adventure. You’re welcome to store your belongings in our secure lockers or take them with you on the boat.

Together with your dive crew, you’ll walk down to the beach and board our custom dive boat. We’ll help you set up your gear and guide you through a short boat safety briefing. Then it’s time to sit back, relax, and take in the breathtaking island views as we head toward your first dive site—this is what you came for.

At the dive site, your guide gives a detailed dive briefing, tailored to your certification level. Safety comes first, so if you have any requests, let us know before we hit the water.

After your first dive, kick back on the boat with a delicious Indonesian vegetarian brunch box, fresh coffee, tea, and water as we cruise toward your second dive site. Once we return to the dive center, you can log your dives in our cozy lounge, refuel with a drink or snack at The Lounge restaurant next door, and share stories with your new dive crew. If you’re short on time, no problem—just let your instructor know and we’ll catch up later.
