North Bali Dive Center

North Bali Dive Center & Beach Cottages is a family-run operation situated in Singaraja, far from the crowded tourist hubs of southern Bali. Having been active for nearly 20 years, the centre has established itself as a reliable base for divers seeking the quieter, more diverse ecosystems of the north.

The centre operates a full-service holiday concept, combining diving with beachfront accommodation in bungalows or beach houses. This setup allows you to transition seamlessly from your morning dive to a relaxed afternoon, with local and international cuisine served on-site and daily massages available in a dedicated pavilion overlooking the sea.

The centre focuses on a relaxed, professional atmosphere where safety and small group sizes are the priority. You will dive in groups limited to a maximum of four divers per guide, ensuring close supervision and a more personalised experience on the water.

The staff handles the logistics of your diving day, including the assembly, transport, and washing of your equipment. For those looking to expand their skills, the team provides instruction in various courses, including Nitrox training. While the primary language of instruction is English, German-speaking assistance is also available.

For those looking to start their diving journey, the centre offers training ranging from introductory sessions to full certification courses. They provide instruction for various levels, including Open Water and Advanced Open Water credentials.

Experienced divers can further specialise with Nitrox courses, which are highly recommended for the diverse dive sites in the region. The centre also facilitates Fun Diving, Muck Diving, and Night Diving programmes for those looking to explore specific environments or nocturnal marine life.

The centre provides shore-based facilities to support your diving, including the availability of Nitrox for those looking to extend their no-decompression limits. The team manages the heavy lifting, ensuring your kit is assembled and ready for the day's excursions.

Accommodation includes air-conditioned bungalows with hot water and mosquito netting, providing a comfortable environment to rest between dives. A laundry service is also included as part of the stay to manage your wetsuits and personal clothing.

The reefs in North Bali are characterised by a high diversity of tropical reef fish and vibrant coral formations. You will regularly encounter turtles and various shark species cruising the deeper sections of the walls and reefs.

For macro enthusiasts, the sandy bottoms and silt areas around Secret Bay and Puri Jati offer incredible opportunities. You can find frogfish, seahorses, and the mimic octopus, alongside various other small organisms that thrive in these specialized habitats.

The marine life is diverse, ranging from large pelagics to the smallest crustaceans, ensuring that both reef explorers and muck divers find something of interest on every excursion.

The diving in this region covers a wide range of environments, from shallow reef flats to deeper wreck and wall dives. You can expect various conditions depending on whether you are exploring the protected areas of the national park or the more open sites near Tulamben.
