About this tour

A 6-hour guided scuba dive from Padangbai, Bali's south-east corner, suited to certified divers keen on macro photography, muck diving and night dives. Includes hotel transport, full equipment, lunch and insurance. You'll be paired with a professional guide and work from a dedicated dive site known for detailed underwater life rather than broad reef sweeps.

Highlights

  • Hotel pickup and drop-off with air-conditioned vehicle included
  • Full scuba equipment provided; bring proof of certification or do Discover course
  • Professional guide, lunch, snacks and bottled water supplied
  • Scuba diving insurance and all taxes included in price
  • Ideal for macro and muck diving, night dive options available
  • Minimum age 10; all fitness levels accommodated with advance fitness disclosure
  • Wheelchair-accessible transport and facilities throughout

What to expect

You'll be collected from your hotel and driven to Padangbai in an air-conditioned vehicle. Once at the dive site, your guide will brief you on conditions, check your equipment fit (you'll have provided height, weight and shoe size at booking), and take you into the water. The dive focuses on close-up underwater subjects — small creatures, textures, geological features — rather than large reef formations, making it particularly rewarding for photography or those who enjoy patient observation.

After the dive, you'll return to base, rinse off, and have lunch and snacks before transport back to your hotel. The full outing takes roughly 6 hours door-to-door, though exact timing depends on traffic and your specific dive site.
