Diving with manta rays

Diving
Nusa Penida

Have you ever dreamed of swimming with huge manta rays, whose graceful movements resemble a fascinating sea dance? Nusa Penida is a unique place where you can not only meet these rare marine animals, but also dive with them.

Up to 15 stingrays sometimes come here to Manta Point in search of plankton at the same time. Thanks to their smooth movements, they seem to float in the ocean. The wingspan of giant manta rays reaches 4 meters in length, but despite their impressive size, these marine inhabitants are absolutely harmless to humans.

The Crystal Bay dive spot got its name thanks to the fact that there is always the purest water. Among the corals, you can find clown fish, nudibranchs, moray eels, scorpions, barracudas and sea turtles. However, the hallmark of this dive site is the moonfish (mola mola), listed in the Guinness Book of Records for its size. Usually this sea giant lives at great depths in colder waters, but from July to October the mola-mola rises closer to the surface for cleaning. Then she can be seen near the coral reef, where small fish eat parasites from her skin. This is a rare phenomenon that attracts the attention of divers from all over the world.

Experience a unique diving adventure and feel unity with the ocean!

It was a magnificent one-day trip. It was my first time diving. After the briefing in Russian, I had no questions; everything was clear. The organization was at a high level. They picked us up from the hotel, and we reached Nusa Penida by a fast boat. About the dives: It was incredible to swim with manta rays at arm's length. They circled nearby, and the instructor had a very keen sense of where to swim to enjoy the views from the best angle. The coral reef was very beautiful too. You glide with the current while colorful fish and plants pass by. Unforgettable.

Our experience was very nice. Overall amazing 1st time diving. 1. They know what they are doing. From picking up the group from different hotels, the travel to the pick-up area, the boat ride to the destinations, to the thorough explanation and breakdown of what will happen. They were a nice mixture of professional and friendly. 2. The locations were amazing. 1st location straight to the mantas. We saw mantas within minutes of getting to the bottom. We saw a total of 5 mantas. One got really close to me!! They are huge!! The other 2 locations were really nice and have their own flavor to them. 3. Our guide was very patient and friendly. Made us feel safe all the way through. Actually the whole crew was really nice! 4. They had snacks and lunch for us. Snacks: tangerines, banana, watermelon, crackers, Oreos, and lots of water. Lunch: typical Balinese food. Very very tasty! Don't think twice, if you are on the fence just go for it, it was amazing!
