In June 2022 I visited the Pemuteran establishment of Bali Diving Academy for two days of diving at Menjangun Island. Menjangan Island is about one hour by boat from the beach of Pemuteran, a pleasant trip. All the gear is brought onboard by the staff, so I could sit back and relax. Two dives a day, the dive-spot determined more or less on the spot, depending on visibility and current. Current wasn’t strong when I visited, but you will dive with the current anyway so that’s not an issue. The boat will pick you up when you surface after an hour or so. Lunch is included – you can state your preferences the day before – so you won’t be bored during the interval time. Though I’m a quite experienced diver, my last previous dive was 22 years before. So, an early refresher session in the pool on day one made sense. That went fine. I rented everything and fitted it the day before because of that pool session. On the boat, the buddy check is thorough and the actual diving is relaxed. The two guides accompanying me managed to point out fishes and other forms of life that I missed; they sure know where to look. That also applies to the skipper. On day two he deviated from the ideal track and after 10 minutes we realized why: he saw dolphins and by deviating we saw them too. In short: I enjoyed the diving, I feel that I was taken care of and I had a lot of fun. On other words: I can only recommend Karin van Beeck and her team of Bali Diving Academy in Pemuteran.

After making my first scuba discovery Dive with Bali Diving Academy, I knew immediately I wanted to come back here for my open water PADI. So I came back a month later and really enjoyed the course here! The team is so nice, patient and always in for a laugh :) thanks for the course and hospitality, I'm excited to go explore the rest of the underwater world!

My husband and I with our three children 13, 10 ,8 had planned to take a tour through our hotel until we saw the fabulous set up at Bali Dive Academy. I started chatting with Karin and was instantly impressed with her knowledge and the quality state of her dive shop. We booked for the next day - myself as the only diver, my husband and children had a snorkeling guide. The boat, equipment and lunch was brilliant, not to mention the guides who really made our day. I would not hesitate to use them again, in fact I hope we get another chance

We were recommended Bali Diving Academy by a friend and we decided to do our Open Water Course here. Our instructor was Edi and he was brilliant. Very patient, informative, friendly and made sure we were always clear and happy with his demonstrations and explanations. On our open water dives, we always felt safe and had a great time! If you’re diving in Pemuteran, Bali Diving Academy is where you should go.

My partner and I completed the PADI Open Water with Pemuteran Bali Diving Academy. Our instructor, Eddie, was a fantastic teacher - taking the time for thorough explanations, asking questions and to try out skills. Our day trip to Menjangan Island for two dives was beautiful. I would highly recommend a trip out with this company for their reliable and friendly service.

We were very happy to be able to dive in Bali again after the lockdown. We were also pleased to learn that Bali Diving Academy - our favourite dive centre in Pemuteran - has survived the pandemic and is operating again.They still have the same reliable, friendly and helpful diveguides and good quality equipment. They've just moved to a new office on the main street, which is more spacious, have a parking space and a fantastic restaurant next door. All in all, we had a great diving holiday with Bali Diving Academy in Pemuteran again. We hope the pandemic won't come back and more tourists will come to Bali soon and bring income to dive centres, hotels and restaurants, almost all of which are already open.

My 18 year old daughter, Ellie, are traveling Indonesia for six weeks from the USA. Neither of us had ever attempted scuba diving. However…Ellie loves marine biology, so I mustered up the courage to sign us BOTH up to become scuba certified. It was an intense, structured course which makes for a great learning environment. We were fortunate enough to have an excellent scuba instructor named Edi. Eid’s english is excellent, he knows Scuba well, and he follows all the PADI guidelines. His instructions and expectations are clear, which made me feel I could easily trust him. We enjoyed diving at BioRock, BioWreck, and Napoleon Reed. We saw sea turtles, puffer fish, tiger fish, sea cucumbers, sea slugs, giant clams, an octopus, countless species of reef fish and countless species of coral. Such a lovely experience!!! I highly recommend Bali Diving Academy in Pemuteran!

Thanks Pak Edi and his team for looking after us again. Did my Nitrox course at pulau Menjangan and took a night dive at biorock. The view underwater was as beautiful as always, water temp 25-30°C. Made new friends and trekked thru pulau Menjangan. Took lot of pictures of us and the ancient temple there.

Finally got back to Bali after 3 years and got recommended to dive with Bali Diving Acadamy and so I did and got the best experience ever. The staff is highly professional, really nice and patient and organized. Went to Pemuteran Bay and Menjangan Island with them and from the pick up at my hotel until I got home again, everything was just great! Thanks guys for making my holiday really special by creating all these memories. By the way, they teamed-up with an amazing new restaurant right beside the Dive Shop, just perfect after a long dive an not only after diving!

We have not been diving for 5 years so we were nervous to get into the water. Fortunately, great care of our instructor Eddy and very helpful manager Karin gave us a fantastic diving experience. We strongly recommend this diving company not only for occasional divers like us but for anybody who is looking for professional and safety first diving experience in Bali. The underwater world in Permuteran and Menjangang island is amazing! Definitely worth a trip to the North when you are visiting Bali.
