beautiful location

Nusa Penida is just a 30-40 minute boat ride from mainland Bali, but the pace of island life couldn't be more different! Even though it has grown in popularity over the past few years, Penida is still very traditional. Seaweed farms scatter the shallow waters of the north and east coasts and many locals still farm and live a simple life. You are definitely away from the hustle and bustle of Bali here, and the island has lots of adventures in store for those who want to do some exploring.
Development of tourism on the island has given us new roads and better power supply in the recent years, plus more connections to mainland Bali making access a lot easier.

resort facilities

The dive resort is located in a prime spot on the north coast where the white beaches & amazing sunsets are just a two minute walk away. The resort is built in a modern style but making the most of traditional materials and techniques, and where possible, using reclaimed wood from our land.

At our open-style reception you will receive a warm welcome, and it is here that you can swap stories from your dive day while filling out your logbook with a cold drink, book your fast boat transfers or island tours and get our top tips for places to eat and visit during your stay.

Tea, coffee and drinking water refills are available at reception 24 hours, and the resort has wi-fi throughout.
Bali is open
When building, we cut very few trees down, and the ones that we did need to cut, we were able to use the wood for furniture such as the coconut wood balcony tables and our acacia wood reception desk! The remaining acacia trees give a lovely shaded area in which to relax in a hammock after your day of diving.

We were the first PADI 5* dive resort on Nusa Penida and the first to offer three dives daily. Our classroom, equipment room and all of the other dive centre facilities are right next to reception and our friendly team will take care of everything for you during your stay.

 ~1.2m depth for shallow introductory dives which is accessed via the steps
 ~2m depth for progressing with skills to deeper water
 ~3m depth for deep water entries and to allow for multiple courses to run at the same time.

For those of you who like to have a post-dive chat in the pool there is a shallow seat running all the way along the deep side!
