Your dive trip from Ubud to Bali’s best dive sites
Where you will dive on a day trip from Ubud
Nusa Penida is one of Bali’s most famous dive areas, known for manta rays, clear water, and exciting drift dives. Conditions decide the exact sites, but this area is a highlight for both certified divers and confident beginners.
Snorkeling is also possible at Nusa Penida, especially at manta ray sites. Snorkelers can join the same day trip with divers, using the same hotel pickup from Ubud and boat logistics, making it a good option for mixed groups.
Padang Bai
Padangbai offers a mix of colorful coral reefs, gentle conditions, and a wide variety of marine life. It is a great choice for relaxed fun dives and also works very well for beginners and training dives.
Tulamben
Tulamben is best known for the USAT Liberty wreck, one of Bali’s most popular dive sites. With easy shore entry and calm conditions, it is ideal for beginners, photographers, and divers who prefer a slower-paced dive.
