7 Fun Dives in Nusa Lembongan (for certified divers) – Premium Value Package

Seven underwater outings, one island base. This three-day package gives certified divers a practical way to visit several sites around Nusa Lembongan, with equipment, a wetsuit, an instructor or dive master, and two-way accommodation transfers included. I like the broad site mix, from Crystal Bay and Manta Point to the mangrove area, and I like that you can leave the motorbike at home.

The price is $311.68 per person, which is good value if you plan to use all seven sessions within seven days. The main catch is simple: you need a recent certification record, or you may pay extra for a refresher session. Conditions can also affect the schedule, and marine life is never guaranteed, even at famous sites.

Key points to know before booking

• Seven sessions within seven days: Spread the package over roughly three days or use the full week, as long as all seven are completed at the center within seven days.
• Five named areas: Crystal Bay, Manta Point, Mangrove Point, Toyapakeh, and Jungut Batu Beach are included in the planned site mix.
• Manta rays and Mola Mola may be possible: These are major draws, but sightings depend on conditions and luck.
• Full basic equipment is supplied: Mask, snorkel, fins, BCD, regulator, instruments, wetsuit, and weight belt are included.
• Small maximum group: The activity is limited to 10 people, allowing for a more manageable boat and briefing experience.
• Comfortable base in Jungutbatu: You get Wi-Fi, toilets, showers, lockers, and a changing room, with a restaurant available at your own cost.

Why seven sessions make sense around Nusa Lembongan

Nusa Lembongan is a useful base for exploring the waters around both Lembongan and nearby Nusa Penida. A single outing can give you a taste of the area, but seven sessions let you see different underwater settings and adjust your plans around conditions.

I especially like the package format for certified people who want more than a one-off activity. You are not paying for repeated introductions to the sport. Instead, the focus is on guided exploration, local site advice, and making the most of your bottom time.

The seven outings must be completed within seven days. The advertised schedule describes approximately three days, so you may spend several sessions over consecutive days, then keep some flexibility for weather or personal plans. That flexibility matters in an island setting, where sea conditions can influence which sites are practical.

The package is not a certification course. You need to hold a recognized certification and have completed your last session within the past year. If it has been longer, the center may arrange a refresher session for an additional fee. That is a useful safety measure, not an annoying add-on, particularly if your recent experience is limited.

What the Dive Concepts base adds

The meeting point is Dive Concepts Lembongan in Jungutbatu, on Nusa Lembongan. The center provides the basic facilities you need before and after each outing: Wi-Fi, toilets, showers, lockers, and a changing room.

Those details matter more than they might sound. Seven sessions mean repeated equipment checks, wet clothing, and time between departures. A place to store your belongings and rinse off afterward makes the package easier to manage.

A restaurant is available at the center, but food is not included. You should budget separately for meals and drinks. Accommodation is also not included, although dormitory rooms and bungalows are available at the center.

Two-way transfers from your Nusa Lembongan accommodation are included. I see this as a real saving in both money and hassle. You do not need to rent a motorbike, find the center in the morning, or carry wet gear around the island. The experience begins and ends at the dive center, with transport back to your accommodation.

The operating hours are listed as 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Monday through Sunday. Your exact outing times should be confirmed after booking, since the supplied details do not give a fixed departure schedule for each site.

Crystal Bay: a famous start with big expectations

Crystal Bay is one of the best-known names in this area. It is included as one of the main stops and is closely linked with the chance to see Mola Mola, also called sunfish.

That possibility gives this site extra appeal, especially for certified people who have chosen Nusa Lembongan specifically for larger marine life. Still, you should treat a Mola Mola sighting as a bonus rather than a promise. Marine animals move freely, and conditions can change the plan.

The value of visiting Crystal Bay within a seven-session package is that it does not have to carry the entire holiday. If the conditions or wildlife do not cooperate on one outing, you still have other sites ahead. That takes some pressure off a single famous location.

Listen carefully to the briefing here. The local instructor’s advice is one of the more important parts of the experience, particularly at sites where currents or changing conditions may affect the plan. The package includes a certified guide, so you are not expected to work out the site alone.

Manta Point: the main wildlife draw

Manta Point is another major reason people choose this package. The possibility of swimming near manta rays gives the outing a clear sense of occasion, and it is one of the strongest wildlife attractions in the Nusa Lembongan area.

Again, no ethical operator can guarantee an animal encounter. Your best approach is to enjoy the whole site rather than spend the entire session scanning for one species. The instructor can help you understand where to look and how to move through the area responsibly.

Manta Point also shows why the package is better suited to someone with recent experience. You are expected to manage your basic skills while paying attention to the guide, the group, and the surroundings. If you have not been underwater for a long time, the refresher option becomes especially relevant.

Mangrove Point: a change from the open-water sites

Mangrove Point gives the itinerary a different character. Rather than focusing only on the better-known offshore locations, the package includes the mangrove area of Nusa Lembongan.

That variety is one of the best features of the seven-session plan. You can compare different underwater environments instead of repeating one type of site. Mangrove areas can also provide a calmer visual contrast to locations associated with larger animals and stronger ocean conditions.

The supplied information does not promise a particular list of species at Mangrove Point, so I would avoid booking this session with a fixed wildlife checklist. Think of it as a chance to see another side of the island’s marine setting and to break up the bigger-name stops.

Toyapakeh: a well-known Nusa Penida area

Toyapakeh is included in the site mix and is described as one of the known areas around Nusa Penida. Its inclusion broadens the trip beyond Nusa Lembongan’s immediate shoreline.

This is useful if you want a package that covers several recognized locations rather than one local reef. You also get the benefit of a guide who can share site-specific advice and help you get more from the time underwater.

The itinerary does not provide a detailed profile of Toyapakeh, such as depth, current strength, or guaranteed marine life. Ask the center for the latest conditions and planned route before setting out. That is particularly sensible if you are less confident in current-affected water.

Jungut Batu Beach and the remaining sessions

Jungut Batu Beach is another named stop. Since the package includes seven sessions but lists five main areas, some locations may account for more than one outing, or the final plan may change according to sea conditions and the group’s needs.

That is not necessarily a weakness. Repeating a site can make sense if visibility, current, or wildlife conditions are better on another day. It can also allow your guide to select the safest available option rather than force a rigid route.

You should ask how the seven sessions will be divided when you arrive. The published details name the main areas but do not specify the exact order, number of sessions at each site, or whether every listed area is visited in a fixed sequence.

Equipment, guides, and the human side of the experience

The package includes a mask, snorkel, fins, buoyancy control jacket, regulator, other instruments, wetsuit, and weight belt. That makes the price easier to assess because you do not need to add a standard rental package separately.

Equipment quality and fit still matter. At the center, take a moment to check that the mask seals, the wetsuit feels workable, and the BCD and regulator are comfortable. The equipment is included, but comfort is personal. If you use a particular mask or computer, ask whether you may bring your own.

The guide is a certified instructor or dive master, depending on the group and session. The center’s staff includes people named in customer feedback such as Rian, Kaka, Baptiste, Ali, Sara, and Ryan. Rian is repeatedly praised for being caring and attentive during a seven-session package, while Kaka is noted for calm instruction during specialty training. Sara is described as patient with people who began unsure of themselves.

Those details point to a center where staff support is a major strength. Clear briefings, patient instruction, and careful supervision are exactly what you want when visiting unfamiliar sites. Individual guide assignments can change, so you should not book expecting a particular person unless the center confirms it.

The maximum group size is 10. That is not a private outing, but it is small enough to keep briefings and group movement reasonably manageable. Your experience will still depend on how many people are in your specific group and how the boat is organized that day.

The real value of $311.68

At $311.68, the package works out to about $44.53 per underwater session before considering the included equipment, guide, transfers, and center facilities. That is attractive if you complete all seven outings.

The value drops if you use only part of the package. The seven sessions have to be completed within seven days, and the price does not appear to be structured for unused portions. I would book this only if you are confident you can fit the full plan into your time on Nusa Lembongan.

The included transfers are another quiet saving. You do not need to rent a bike, pay for repeated rides, or arrange your own route to the center. For people staying elsewhere on Nusa Lembongan, that convenience may matter as much as the rental gear.

Photos and videos are not included. Digital souvenirs are available to purchase, so budget extra if you want underwater images. Accommodation and restaurant costs are also separate.

Compared with paying for individual sessions, a package of seven should make financial sense for an active certified participant. Compared with a short introductory activity, it is a larger commitment. You are paying for quantity, site variety, and a guide-led experience rather than a quick taste.

Who should book this package?

I would recommend it to a certified person who has been underwater within the past year and wants several outings around Nusa Lembongan without arranging equipment or transport. It suits people who enjoy variety and can spare about three days, or up to a full week, for the seven-session plan.

It is also a good fit if you are interested in the possibility of manta rays and Mola Mola but do not want your entire holiday to depend on one wildlife encounter. The broader itinerary gives you several chances to see different sites and marine settings.

You should think twice if you are not recently certified, have low confidence in the water, or want a private schedule. A refresher may cost extra, the group can include up to 10 people, and the exact site order is not fixed in the information provided.

The activity requires a moderate level of physical fitness. It is not designed for someone seeking a sightseeing boat ride with no physical demands. You will need to be comfortable using standard equipment and following the guide’s instructions.

Service animals are allowed, according to the supplied information. The activity is available daily during the stated operating period, from August 31, 2019 through December 8, 2026.

Booking, weather, and cancellation details

Confirmation is sent within 48 hours of booking, subject to availability. Since the schedule and site order are not fully fixed, contact the center with your preferred dates and ask about the planned timing.

Free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the experience start time. Changes or cancellations made inside that period are not accepted for a refund. If poor weather causes the operator to cancel, you can choose a different date or receive a full refund.

That policy is fair for a sea-based activity, but I would avoid placing the package at the very end of a short island stay. Give yourself some spare time in case weather affects the schedule.

Should you book the seven-session package?

Book it if you are certified, recently active, and ready to complete all seven sessions within seven days. The strongest reasons are the site variety, included equipment, guide support, accommodation transfers, and the chance to visit Manta Point and Crystal Bay without paying separate rental and transport costs.

I would not choose it for a single day or if you want guaranteed manta rays or Mola Mola. But for an active underwater holiday, the price is persuasive, the facilities are practical, and the staff support described by customers is a real advantage. Ask about the daily schedule, guide assignment, refresher fee, and exact site plan before paying, then leave room for the sea to have the final word.
