Octopus Dive Nusa Penida | Estd.2013

Based in Klungkung, Octopus Dive has been a cornerstone of the Nusa Penida diving community since 2013. As a 100% local operator, the team provides a level of regional expertise that only comes from years of navigating these specific waters.

They focus heavily on the educational aspect of diving, ensuring that every diver understands the local environment. This commitment to quality is backed by BAUER Pure Air certification, guaranteeing that the air you breathe from your cylinder is of the highest standard.

The team is comprised entirely of local professionals who possess an intimate knowledge of the currents and marine life unique to this region. They are fully trained in first aid, ensuring a high standard of safety for every diver on the trip.

Instruction is handled with a focus on small group sizes to ensure personal attention. For certified divers, the ratio is kept to 1 guide for every 3 to 4 divers, while non-certified divers are accompanied by a guide at a ratio of 1 for 2.

Octopus Dive offers a comprehensive range of SSI and ADSI courses for all levels. You can begin your journey with Try Scuba Diving or work through the standard progression from Open Water Diver to Advanced Open Water Diver.

The centre provides high-quality kit for hire, though a discount is available if you choose to bring your own BCD and regulator.

Safety is a priority on all excursions, with emergency oxygen available on the boat for any unexpected situations.

The waters around Nusa Penida are famous for hosting spectacular pelagics. You may encounter Manta rays or the iconic Mola-mola during your dives.

Beyond the large species, the local reefs support a variety of marine life that makes every dive unique.

Divers should be prepared for the possibility of drift dives due to the currents present in the area. The local conditions require an experienced hand to navigate the moving water effectively.
