14 Scuba Diving Centers in Bali That Helped Me Conquer the Deep
When I was younger, I had thalassophobia or fear of deep water. And before anyone asks, it’s different from aquaphobia—I was teased about being scared of water or taking baths—I was not! I’d just freak out whenever my mom said we were going to the beach.
The thought of swimming in the ocean, when we haven’t explored over 80% of it, used to be unthinkable. But 5 years ago, I finally decided to face my biggest fear before getting married—and having a son. I figured I needed to be strong and set an example.
So I asked my water-loving friends to join me at a scuba diving center in Bali. They were surprised but happy to help. It was tough, but I got distracted when I saw all the lovely marine life I’d been missing out on! Here are the top dive shops we’ve been to so far.
Where can I go scuba diving in Bali?
There are a bunch of spots where you can go scuba diving in Bali! Explore notable dive shops, like S.E.A. Diving Bali, Tulamben Dive, Nusa Dua Dive Centre, Adventure Divers Bali, and Nico Dives Cool Bali for a fun underwater adventure!

| Our recommendation: Need help with accommodations? Consider staying at Tulamben Dive’s villa—it’s only 400 meters from the beach and the main road to Tulamben! If you’re coming with a big crew, you may also rent 2 double rooms or the entire villa for 6 persons upon request. |

Blue Corner Dive

Operating Hours: By reservation basis
Fees: $$$
We recently spent several days diving with Blue Corner Dive on Nusa Lembongan and around Nusa Penida, and our overall impression is very favourable. Here are our thoughts based on three key criteria: safety & professionalism, dive experience & environment, and guest support & logistics.
From the moment we arrived, safety and professionalism stood out. The team maintained impressively low guide-to-diver ratios (1:4) and explained their safety protocols clearly—including dive times, surface marker buoys, and emergency equipment aboard the boats. The dive centre emphasises diver safety as their number one priority. (We sensed they didn’t just say it—they lived it). They also maintained clean, well-serviced equipment and required divers to declare their certification level and dive experiences beforehand. That attention made us feel comfortable even when diving more challenging sites.
In terms of dive experience and environment, this shop delivers. They ran trips to some of the region’s more dramatic sites—steep walls, drift dives and the chance to see large pelagic species. One particularly memorable dive was on a slope near 20 – 30 m where we glimpsed eagle rays, barracuda and huge schools of trevally. We were impressed at how the guides selected the site based on conditions. While some spots were clearly reserved for advanced divers (especially when currents picked up), the ones chosen for the day were matched to our level, and that enabled us to enjoy the big-fish action while staying within our comfort zone. The rich marine life and beautiful terrain made the dives special.
Finally, as regards guest support and logistics, Blue Corner Dive was strong. They helped arrange transport to the dive centre from nearby, explained equipment rental fees upfront, and offered clear packages for fun dives and training. The dive centre is beachfront, making gear handling and boat boarding much smoother than mainland alternatives. We appreciated that they handled the little details—refreshments aboard, gear stowage, briefings on each dive site—and provided the kind of smooth, friendly service that let us focus on the diving rather than logistics.
In sum, diving with Blue Corner Dive felt like a well-managed, high-quality experience. If you are in Bali or the Nusa islands and looking to dive with skilled staff, good equipment and access to excellent underwater terrain, we’d confidently recommend giving them a look.

We recently dived with No Fear Diving, a 5-Star PADI German dive resort set right on Amed’s beach‑front with world‑class sites on their doorstep, and it more than earns its reputation.
Their ethos is quality over quantity: small groups, individual sessions, and private coaching meant you can progress at your own pace. The highly‑qualified, certified, and insured instructors—experienced with anxious and differently‑abled divers of all ages—also speak English, Indonesian, and Russian fluently, so every connection and communication on every dive was crystal clear.
They have a huge selection of courses and dive activities: easy, fun shore dives for first‑timers; custom courses to conquer fears and anxiety; advanced PADI and RAID Tec courses; plus specialties like night shore dives and mesmerizing blackwater boat dives. Premium, well‑maintained equipment is included, and the safety culture never compromises standards. Pricing is fair and all‑inclusive with no hidden costs—exactly as advertised.
Booking was a breeze: their site is one of Bali’s most advanced, easy‑to‑use booking and onboarding websites, handling dives and accommodation with instant confirmation and easy payment by credit card, Wise, or bank transfer. For a seamless stay, Amed’ku Villa sits on‑site with direct beach access, ocean views, and a front‑row look at Mount Agung—authentic charm with contemporary comfort in the heart of town. In short: guest service with heart, delivered in a super supportive and safe way with plenty of amazing dive sites to visit.
| Something to consider: Because they keep groups tiny and offer true one‑to‑one attention, spots go fast—book early. Before my dives, the team co‑planned every detail around my goals (sites, pace, skills) and stayed flexible if conditions shifted. The result was a safety‑first schedule that felt tailor‑made. |
