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!

Excellent organization. Everything is top-notch - a good boat, a delicious lunch, and the diving is simply amazing. Organization without fuss, very courteous, but with all the necessary information.
Huge thanks to the Diving Center and especially to the instructor Anna, everything is really super cool, I saw in their natural habitat those creatures that I had seen many times on Animal Planet and National Geographic shows!
It was a magnificent one-day trip. I dived for the first time. After the briefing in Russian, no questions arose, everything was clear. The organization is at a high level. We were picked up from the hotel and reached Nusa Penida on a speedboat. About the dives: It was incredible to swim with mantas 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 is also very beautiful. You glide with the current, and colorful fish and plants float by. Unforgettable. Diving videos: https://www.instagram.com/p/DEiHnNrIrte/ https://youtu.be/CuAu3RoHAEA Thanks to the organizers.
Everything went well. The weather was just a bit disappointing. But everything else went according to plan. There were manta rays... a big turtle...even a small shark appeared. Thank you.
