7 Fun Dives in Nusa Lembongan (for certified divers) – Premium Value Package
Seven underwater stops, one simple plan.
What makes this package appealing is the mix of big-name sites and practical value: you get the essential gear (including a wetsuit), a guide, and 2-way transfers from your Lembongan stay. It’s also built around the chance to see manta rays and Mola Mola (sunfish). One thing to think about first: you’re expected to squeeze all seven outings into a 7-day window, so it’s best if you’re already committed to doing the schedule.
My favorite part is how comfortable the whole setup feels between water time. The center has Wi-Fi, lockers, showers, and a place to change, so you’re not bouncing around on a bare-minimum operation. Another big plus: the team is consistently described as friendly and professional, with guides/instructors such as Freddy, Jasmine, Rayan/Rian, Ali, Baptiste, Kaka, and Sara mentioned across experiences.
The only real drawback is the eligibility and timing. This is for certified divers who did their last dive within the last year—otherwise you may need a refresh session (and that can cost extra). If you’re not ready for that rule, you’ll likely be happier with an open-water or intro option instead.

Key things to know before you go

- Crystal Bay and Manta Point are specifically named, so you can aim your expectations at the classic Lembongan/Penida-style highlights.
- Mola Mola and manta rays are part of the pitch, and the package is designed around those target animals.
- All the core scuba gear is included, plus a wetsuit and weight belt, which is where a lot of “cheap packages” quietly add costs.
- Small group size (max 10) keeps the operation from feeling like a cattle line.
- Boat days start from Jungut Batu/Jungutbatu area, with 2-way transfers included so you’re not hiring a bike and guessing schedules.
- Photos/videos are optional add-ons, available as digital souvenir and/or DVDs if you want them.
Why Nusa Lembongan’s water makes this package feel like a deal

Nusa Lembongan has that rare combo: easy logistics from your base on the island, plus access to nearby “headline” waters where you can still hope for the dramatic stuff—manta rays and the world’s weird-looking-but-incredible sunfish, Mola Mola. This package is designed for certified scuba folks who want the best shot at those animals without building a DIY plan.
What helps is the structure. Instead of paying for each outing and each piece of equipment separately, you’re rolling everything into one rate. That matters because on islands like Lembongan, the unglamorous costs add up fast: rental gear, weights, and transfers are usually where the math gets annoying.
And the operating style sounds built for real life. A comfortable center with lockers, showers, toilets, and Wi-Fi means you can actually reset between sessions. No one wants to spend their vacation drying gear in the sun like it’s a campsite project.

What you get for $311.68: gear, guide, and transfers that reduce hassle
At $311.68 per person for seven underwater outings, you’re paying for more than boat time. The package includes:
- Certified instructor/guide
- Equipment included: mask, snorkel, fins, buoyancy control jacket (BCD), regulator, and other instruments
- Wetsuit + weight belt
- Dive center facilities: Wi-Fi, toilet, shower, locker, change room
Then there’s the part that saves energy: 2-way transfers from Nusa Lembongan accommodation. The summary is explicit that you don’t need to hire a bike. For many people, that’s the difference between enjoying the day and spending it sprinting to match boat timing.
Is it “cheap”? Not in the way that sacrifices comfort or safety. It’s premium value because you’re not piecing together logistics. You’re also paying for consistency: the gear is provided as part of the plan, and the staff is set up to run a schedule for multiple sessions across a week.
One more practical note: photos and DVDs are available to purchase, but they’re not included. If you love having a souvenir for the memory, ask about the format and cost ahead of time so there’s no surprise bill after you’ve already fallen in love with your camera shots.
The 3-day rhythm: how to fit seven outings into one week

The package is listed as about 3 days, but with a key condition: your seven outings must be completed within 7 days at the dive center. That’s a big detail, because it changes how you plan your overall trip.
Here’s what that means for you:
- If you’re staying on Lembongan for a short time, you’ll want enough buffer to do all seven within the week.
- If your schedule is flexible, you’ll likely feel less stress about weather or timing.
- If you’re doing other activities on the island, plan them around your underwater days, not on top of them.
Weather matters here. The experience is described as requiring good weather, and if it gets canceled due to poor conditions you’re offered a different date or a full refund. So even with a clear plan, you should keep some wiggle room in your calendar.
Also: the schedule is for certified divers only. If you’re certified but haven’t been in the water in a while, the operator notes there may be a refreshment session with an instructor (with a possible additional fee). It’s not a bad thing—it’s a way to get your buoyancy and rhythm back before you stack multiple days.
Stop-by-stop: Crystal Bay, Manta Point, Mangrove Point, Toyapakeh, and Jungut Batu

Your package description names five specific locations that are part of the seven-session mix. That’s helpful because you can study what each place tends to offer—without pretending the plan is identical every day.
Keep in mind: the info provided lists five named stops, but you’re doing seven outings total. The remaining two locations aren’t specified here, so you’ll want to confirm the exact schedule once you book.
Crystal Bay
This is one of the classic Lembongan/Penida-adjacent stops, and it’s named as your first stop. Expect a structured start to the week: calm enough to get comfortable, still set up to show off real reef and sea life.
Why it’s a smart early pick: starting here helps you settle into gear fit, weight distribution, and breathing rhythm before you chase the more high-expectation animal sightings later.

Manta Point
If you’re booking for mantas, this is the named target. The package description specifically highlights the chance to swim with manta rays, and Manta Point is where you’d expect that focus.
Practical tip: mantas are the kind of animal that rewards patience. The best experience usually comes from staying calm, neutral, and not forcing movement just because you feel excited. Let the guide handle the approach.
Mangrove Point at Nusa Lembongan
This is a nice change of pace from more open-water feel. A mangrove area adds variety to the visuals and the atmosphere—more sheltered, more texture, and often a different cast of marine life.
What I like about this stop in a multi-day package: it breaks up the repeated pattern. After a couple of “bigger-ticket” sites, mangrove environments can feel fresh and different without being harder to enjoy.
Toyapakeh
Toyapakeh is another named location included in the week’s plan. It’s in the orbit of the famous nearby waters, and it fits into the “mix of famous sites” idea behind this package.
The best way to enjoy Toyapakeh: treat it as part of a progression. You’re building familiarity with the region, then stacking the variety across seven sessions.
Jungut Batu Beach
Jungut Batu Beach is included in the named schedule as well. It makes sense as part of an island-based operation because it ties into the base area and transport flow.
For you, it’s also a useful reminder of timing: when the schedule includes a coastal beach stop, you can expect logistics to feel smoother between water time and getting back to the center.
The two unnamed outings
Since only five named stops are listed, the remaining two are likely selected based on conditions and the week’s dive plan. That’s not a problem—it’s common in scuba operations—but it means you should ask the center for your full schedule once you confirm.
Seeing manta rays and Mola Mola: how to set expectations

The package description calls out manta rays and Mola Mola (sunfish) as targets. That’s an exciting promise, but it’s also worth grounding your expectations.
Here’s the honest way to think about it:
- Expect variety, not guaranteed encounters. The region is known for these animals, and the package is aimed at giving you repeated chances.
- Repeated outings help. When you’re doing seven sessions within a week, you’re not betting everything on a single day.
- Your calm matters. A good guide can position you, but your buoyancy control and staying relaxed help you actually enjoy the sighting when it happens.
If you’re returning after a long gap from scuba, the refreshment session note is important. You’ll feel better if your basic skills are crisp before you chase bigger animals. That usually leads to fewer flustered moments and better control—exactly what helps for animal sightings.
Staff and safety: the quality signals that matter

One thing that comes through clearly is the emphasis on instructor-led guidance and care. Names like Rayan/Rian, Ali, Baptiste, Kaka, and Sara show up as guides/instructors, and that pattern matters because it suggests an established crew running the operation.
What you should look for, even as a certified diver:
- Clear briefings before each outing
- Gear that’s ready and in good working order
- A guide who gives practical advice for that day’s conditions, not generic instructions
In my experience-style checklist, the best indicator is how smoothly the day runs: quick, organized prep, sensible pacing, and staff that handle questions without making you feel rushed.
Also, there’s a group limit—max 10 travelers. Smaller groups usually mean more individualized attention in the water and in the briefing room.
Comfort at the center: Wi‑Fi, lockers, showers, and fewer headaches

Between water time and boat days, the center can either make your day easy or annoying. This one leans toward easy.
You get:
- Wi-Fi
- Lockers
- Toilet and shower
- Change room
That may sound like boring logistics, but it’s the stuff that keeps you comfortable during a multi-day package. You’ll likely be handling wet gear multiple times. Being able to rinse, change, and reset without hunting for services is a quality-of-life win.
Add in optional gear for your day (like ordering digital souvenir photos/videos afterward), and the whole process feels like an actual diving base, not a pickup-and-go operation.
Who this scuba package is best for (and who should skip it)

This package is clearly set up for:
- Certified divers who dove within the last year
- People who want seven outings in a week without arranging gear rentals and transfers separately
- Anyone who wants a mix of classic sites around Lembongan and nearby waters, with target chances for mantas and Mola Mola
It may not be for you if:
- You’re not planning to stay on the island long enough to finish all seven within 7 days
- You’re rusty from scuba and don’t want a potential refresh session (with a possible additional fee)
- You’re looking for a very independent, DIY-style schedule
Fitness-wise, the description says you should have moderate physical fitness. That generally means you’ll be able to handle the typical movements associated with getting gear on/off and participating in the water routine.
Should you book this Nusa Lembongan 7-outing package?
If you’re a certified diver and you can commit to finishing seven underwater sessions within a week, I think this is a smart buy. The value is strongest in the boring parts: gear is included, wetsuit and weight belt are included, and transfers are included. Those are the costs that quietly inflate “cheap” deals.
Book it if your goal is variety across multiple classic sites and you want repeated chances for manta rays and Mola Mola. With a smaller group size (max 10) and a team that’s described as supportive, you’re likely to spend more time enjoying the water—and less time dealing with logistics.
Skip it if your schedule is tight, you’re not ready for a refresh requirement, or you can’t fit the 7-day completion window. In those cases, you might do better with a different option that matches your timing and certification comfort level.
