We really enjoyed our time diving with Nico Dives! The divemasters were very friendly, knowledgeable and helped us take lots of videos. Even though we sadly didn’t manage to see mantas this time (a reminder to us that nothing is guaranteed when diving), it was a super cool experience seeing all the sharks at candidasa shark cave (among lots of other things!!) Nico Dives really went above and beyond to deliver an unforgettable experience for us. Highly recommend diving with them if you’re in Bali!

The Best Scuba Diving in Bali! Incredible Mola & Manta Encounters with Nico Diving If you are planning to dive Bali, I cannot recommend Nico Diving highly enough. Our group of eight recently booked day trips for scuba diving from Sanur to Nusa Penida with them, complete with seamless hotel pick-up services, and the entire operation was flawless. From the very beginning, the owner was incredibly detail-oriented, ensuring everyone in our group felt comfortable and well-prepared. We completed a total of 6 dives (3 dives a day), guided by 4 outstanding dive leads. As an experienced diver who has explored many sites across Indonesia and visited Nusa Penida several times before, I can confidently say this team is top-tier. They knew exactly what they were doing, and their professionalism truly shined with the less experienced members of our group, who were taken care of super well and made to feel completely at ease in the currents. The marine life sightings were absolutely unreal for a Nusa Penida diving trip. Out of 6 dives, we saw Mola Mola on 4 dives and Manta Rays on 5 dives! Even more incredibly, we had 2 dives where we encountered both Mola and Mantas underwater at the exact same time. The absolute highlight of our trip was a "secret" dive site the guides took us to. Despite my many previous trips to dive Nusa Penida, I had never been to this spot. It was, without a doubt, the most beautiful wall dive out of all the Bali dive sites I’ve seen. It’s located quite far out, but it was worth every second. We had the entire site completely to ourselves—not another boat in sight—and were treated to encounters with both Mantas and a Mola Mola right there on the pristine wall. The premium service didn't end when we got off the boat. After our dives, the Nico Diving crew meticulously cleaned and washed all of our scuba equipment and even shipped it directly back to our accommodation so we didn't have to carry it. We were thrilled to tip this hardworking crew well. If you are looking for an exceptional dive center in Bali that prioritizes safety, hidden gem locations, and VIP service, Nico Diving is the quality company you want to book with.

What an incredible day diving at Nusa Penida 🤿🌊 A huge shoutout to Nico Dives, absolutely outstanding from start to finish. Nico and the team created such a welcoming and professional experience, catering effortlessly for everyone… from beginners and families right through to more experienced divers. The whole day just flowed, stunning dive sites, crystal clear water, and that feeling of being completely immersed in another world beneath the surface. If you’re in Bali and thinking about diving, I can’t recommend them enough. Truly one of those unforgettable experiences 💙

I had a 10/10 experience with Nico Dives Cool on the Nusa Penida fun dives. The team was so welcoming and accommodating from the moment you meet. The diving itself was extraordinary; amazing reefs and so much life and color, but of course for me the mantas were unbeatable. I had the best day with the team on and unforgettable dives. One of the best to date. Would definitely visit Nico Dives Cool again when back in Bali. Highly recommend if you are looking for fun, safe, friendly diving 🫶

Amazing Dive School. I completed my SSI Advance Open Water Training and Certification with Nico Dives Cool. All the arrangements were fantastic, starting from being communication, punctuality, picking dive spots, arranging perfect equipment, training, coffee shops and restaurants to set up equipments and transportation. The most important is the dive instructor Anaïs. She made me very comfortable underwater, perfecting my buoyancy with variety of different exercise, wreck diving skills, navigation, deep diving skills and fish identification which were part of my course. I highly recommend Nico Dives Cool for enjoyable, cherishable, comfortable and soothing diving experience. Thanks for giving me great experience. And I hope to come back again for, hopefully next time for diving tour and holidays around Bali.
