Friendly shop staff, but mixed experience underwater
We booked a 3-dive package but decided to stop after the first dive as we didn't feel entirely comfortable underwater. However, the shop staff and ground operations were excellent. The team was friendly and communicative before and after the dive. They also can assist in transportation arrangement, fresh towels for both the boat and showers, and free drinks at the shop.

Mantas everywhere
Wonderful staff who catered for all skill levels. The dive sites are incredibly busy but that was well managed.

Couldn't ask for more
Great experience all around, from beginning to end. We arrived early and had a complimentary drink before being briefed on everything relevant, we were driven to the boat and then taken to Nusa Penida. The boat was nice and had a toilet, in-between dives we had fruit snacks and lunch half way through the day. The group size was quite small which was nice, there were 8 guests in total and we were split into 3 groups, so small groups for each dive which was good, although the dive sites could be a little busy, we were always taken somewhere less crowded by our guide and got to see everything with a little more peace, great work! We saw all the highlights and much more, mantas, octopus, lobster, mantis shrimps, all kinds of puffers and butterfly fish and of course corals. We were a little skeptical before booking of the price as we are backpacking but it was well worth the money. It was a full day, we felt taken care of and had a great guide explain everything we saw, all three dives were brilliant and the dive centre itself had a great atmosphere. Very much recommended, best for anyone who wants to see mantas, but that's not all you will see. Thank you

Experience of a lifetime!
I can’t recommend Neptune enough. If you’re looking for the perfect way to experience Bali’s unique marine life, this would be the way to go. Our guide, Noe, was very experienced and helpful throughout the entire way. His knowledge and expertise made it all the more smooth and enjoyable. Noe took amazing videos of us during our dives and we got to see such a wide variety of marine life. Neptune was very accommodating with all our needs- providing lunches, water, and gear. They had great facilities at the dive center, and helped us with a refresher the day before our dive. Thank you to Neptune for providing a truly memorable experience!

Neptune is hands down the best if you are diving in Bali!’
What an incredible diving experience with Neptune! They’re highly organized and super efficient both on and off the boat. From the moment I walked in, the company knew how to take care of me. From arranging a car pick up for me because I was staying a bit further away in Canggu, to having coffee ready for me at the shop and a non drowsy sea sickness pill (just in case), to doing a refresher dive with my dive master (bc it’s been 3 years since I last went diving), everything was so thoughtfully arranged. I felt safe and taken care of the whole time. The dives were incredible!! We saw so many things from Manta rays to sea turtles, nudi branches, mantis shrimp, moray eels. Their lunch meal was also delicious, and the staff made sure we were well fed and hydrated throughout the entire day. I had the best time, and Neptune is probably one of the best dive shops I’ve ever gone to. HIGHLY recommend!!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Scuba Diving in Nusa Penida - Manta Point: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kuta.
How much does Scuba Diving in Nusa Penida - Manta Point cost?
+
Prices start at $175 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kuta usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Scuba Diving in Nusa Penida - Manta Point take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kuta is not rushed.
Is Scuba Diving in Nusa Penida - Manta Point worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 202 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kuta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Scuba Diving in Nusa Penida - Manta Point?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Scuba Diving in Nusa Penida - Manta Point suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Scuba Diving in Nusa Penida - Manta Point?
+
Around 71 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kuta can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kuta and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Scuba Diving in Nusa Penida - Manta Point start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kuta within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kuta?
+
On Outty we rank every Kuta experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ubud Private Tour Rice Terraces Temples Waterfalls., Best of Ubud Private and All-Inclusive 1-Day Tour, Bali Blue Lagoon Snorkeling - Lunch and Transport All Inclusive. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kuta?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kuta?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
