Nusa Penida Manta Ray Scuba Diving — 2-Dive Trip from Bali

If there's one underwater encounter that defines diving in Bali, it's this one: reef manta rays gliding through their cleaning stations at Manta Point, often close enough to see the individual markings on their undersides. This full-day trip departs from Sanur on Bali's mainland, with a 45-minute speedboat crossing to Nusa Penida.

You'll complete two boat dives — one almost always planned around a manta site (Manta Point or Manta Bay, conditions permitting), the other exploring Nusa Penida's coral walls and drift sites. Between dives, relax on the boat with lunch and refreshments included.

Sighting rates at Manta Point run above 90% year-round, since resident mantas use the site's cleaning stations daily rather than passing through seasonally.

If you're visiting between July and October, keep an eye out for mola mola (sunfish) as a bonus — this is the one window they show up in these waters too. A valid diving certification (PADI Open Water or equivalent) is required to join this trip.
