An unforgettable experience, marked by kindness and flawless organization - We had the chance to do three dives in Bali with Neptune Scuba Diving, and it was truly an experience we’ll never forget.
From the very beginning, we were impressed by the seamless, thoughtful, and professional organization of the entire team. Every detail was taken care of to make us feel safe, relaxed, and fully able to enjoy the experience.
A special thank you for the exceptional kindness and care shown to my wife, who was diving for the very first time. Thanks to the team’s patience, support, and genuine warmth, she felt confident and had an amazing time underwater.
The dive sites were absolutely stunning — we were lucky enough to see manta rays, turtles, lobsters, lionfish, pufferfish, moray eels, a coral snake, a school of barracudas… and so much more.
Between dives, we were also treated to delicious food on board, which made the day feel even more special.
The team was just as incredible as the underwater world they helped us discover. Thank you, Neptune, for an experience that will stay with us forever!

Excellent Dive Shop - Loved the Manta Point dive with the manta rays. Excellent! There were lots of divers, but the guides (2 for our group of 4 divers) kept an eye on us to make sure we didn't get lost.
Great dive shop. Picked us up from our hotel. Communication via email and whatsapp was superb!! Very responsive. Very helpful.
Shop was well equipped and professional. A refresher is available if you haven't gone diving in a while.
Guides gave an initial briefing and a briefing before entering the water. Guides were very attentive and alert. Pointed out things of interest, made sure everyone was accounted for. The second and third dives were drift dives and a little bit of a fast current for my liking, but that's just dependent on the day.
I would definitely dive with this outfit again.

Three Outstanding Dives in One Day! - I'm an experienced diver, approaching 500 ocean dives and 40+ years of experience, but the sightings at Nusa Penida were amazing! THis might have been my best day diving ever. The 1st dive was Manta Point and there were at least a half dozen enormous Manta Rays swimming around. The water was a bit murky, making photography a bit of a challenge, but one could see them clearly. The 2nd dive was was Crystal Bay, and the water was as clear as anything that I can remember with beautiful coral and lots of fish. We were getting close to the end of the dive when suddenly,our divemaster, Eddy was gesticulating wildly and zoomed down to 115'. Sure enough, there was a Mola Mola or Pacific Sunfish zooming by. I got some terrific video footage. After a Bento Box-style meal, our 3rd dive was SD Point, and it was a drift dive, and again the water was incredibly clear, and the coral was in outstanding condition. We kept hitting thermoclines as we drifted past the reef from incursions of cold water from farther down the massive wall. One would see the water shimmering and the temps would change noticably. It was actually pretty cool, but I was glad to have taken the dive shop's advice and worn a full wet suit and booties. Eddy was a terrific guide, it was just three guests in our group, and Julia took good care of me at the shop, especially when I needed to make a quick repair to my camera bracket which she fixed with zip ties. The hotel pick up and drop off were smooth, and Neptune Divers was a terrific dive shop for this worthwhile adventure.

Best dive center in Bali! - The whole experience from start to finish with Neptune was 10/10. The ladies at reception were so helpful with information and advice even before I arrived. Welcomed with big smiles and made to feel like family. Friendly and professional instructors who made me feel safe and at ease during all 6 of my dives. Special shout out to Gede and Koplak who have such an eye for spotting all the wonderful creatures underwater! Cannot reccomend this company enough and I’ll only ever dive with them again when I return to Bali
Thank you all so much ☺️

Komodo diving liveaboard - They sell you the trip as a 7 day 6 night cruise when it is actually just 5 days …
The first day we left the harbour at 2pm and the last day we had to leave the boat at 10am.
The boat was fabulous and I think it is the only reason i still put 2 stars because it is very comfortable and beautiful.
The diving : Half of the dive site really had nothing to offer and should not be part of a liveaboard.
The diving team : the guides almost never said hello and barely talked to you , communicated poorly underwater and on the boat.
The cruise director : Very bad communication and no flexibility at all , does not know how to speak to client or listen to divers.
Basically it would have been better to just do daily dives as this liveaboard do not take you to spécial dive sites .
Or just take another company to do it
