7 Fun Dives in Nusa Lembongan (for certified divers) – Premium Value Package
Book on Viator →Operated by Dive Concepts Bali · Bookable on Viator
Manta rays keep the plan simple. This premium value package is built for certified divers who want all gear included and round-trip transfers from Nusa Lembongan, so you spend less time organizing and more time looking out the window of the sea. It’s also timed for maximum fun: seven guided underwater sessions, all to be done within a week.
What I like most is how smoothly the whole setup runs. From the shop facilities (Wi‑Fi, lockers, showers, and a change room) to the well-prepped equipment, you show up and get moving. And the human factor matters here too: the instructors and DM team get consistent praise for clear guidance and caring support, with names like Freddy, Jasmine, Rayan, Rian, Ali, Baptiste, Kaka, and Sara standing out in people’s accounts.
One consideration: it’s only for certified divers, and the operator notes that you need to have dived within the last year for the best fit. If your last session was longer ago, you may need a refreshment session, and an additional fee might apply.

Key takeaways before you book

- Gear and wetsuit are included: mask, snorkel, fins, BCD, regulator, and instruments, plus a wetsuit and weight belt.
- Transfers save real time: round-trip transport from your Nusa Lembongan accommodation is included.
- You must fit all seven sessions within 7 days: plan your schedule so you don’t end up scrambling at the end.
- Target sites include Crystal Bay and Manta Point: plus Mangrove Point, Toyapakeh, and Jungut Batu Beach.
- Small groups help: maximum group size is 10 people, which usually means more attention.

What’s actually included in this 7-session package

This is a plug-and-play underwater plan. You’re not renting a bunch of stuff room by room. The package includes the essential kit you’ll need: mask, snorkel, fins, plus BCD and regulator, and other instruments used for the setup. You also get a wetsuit and a weight belt.
That matters because gear quality can make or break your comfort. When your suit fits right and your buoyancy gear is working smoothly, you can focus on sightlines—coral, marine life, and the silhouettes of larger animals—rather than fiddling underwater.
You also get a certified instructor and guided supervision. The program is explicitly designed for people who are already certified and want help using the water time well, not for first-time certification.

Getting to the water on Nusa Lembongan (without bike math)
Nusa Lembongan can be a little “move your body” island. This package reduces that hassle by including two-way transfers from your accommodation on Nusa Lembongan. No bike booking. No trying to guess distances on an unfamiliar island.
Once you’re at the operator’s base, you’ll have comfort basics covered: Wi‑Fi, toilet and shower access, and lockers plus a change room. I love when a plan includes the boring stuff. It turns the day from logistics-heavy into simple: arrive, suit up, go out, rinse off, repeat.
Also, note the shop has generous hours: 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, Monday through Sunday. That can help if your island schedule is delayed or if weather shifts timing.
The seven underwater sessions: what the site list tells you

The program is built around multiple sites across the Lembongan area. You’ll be doing seven guided underwater sessions in total, with named stops that include:
Crystal Bay
Crystal Bay is one of the first named sites in the schedule. The operator frames the whole area as coral- and marine-life friendly, so think: good visibility opportunities and lots to watch besides just your breathing.
Manta Point
Manta Point is a headline for a reason. The highlights specifically call out the chance to swim with manta rays. Even if you don’t see one every single time, having this as a focused stop (rather than a vague hope) is a big part of why this package is such good value.
Mangrove Point at Nusa Lembongan
This stop shifts the vibe a bit. The schedule includes the mangrove of the island, which usually means you’re not just looking at open-water scenery. You get to spend time in a more unique habitat, where the environment around you can feel different than the typical outer-coast sites.
Toyapakeh
Toyapakeh is another named session stop in the plan. The operator positions the overall week as a way to explore more than one corner of the island area, not just a single repeat location.
Jungut Batu Beach
Jungut Batu Beach rounds out the named list. This matters for practical reasons: when you’re based on Nusa Lembongan, having multiple nearby site options generally helps your week run smoother, especially when weather or sea conditions affect timing.
Important detail: the site list above shows specific stops, but the package totals seven sessions within 7 days. If the remaining sessions are added or adjusted based on conditions, that’s normal for island diving schedules. The operator also notes the overall experience depends on good weather.
What it feels like when the instruction is the difference

You can rent the right gear anywhere. What you can’t always buy is good coaching that keeps you relaxed and safe.
The reviews you shared point strongly to that. People repeatedly highlight friendly professionalism and clear briefings, including praise for staff like Freddy and Jasmine at reception and for DM support from Rayan and Rian. Other names that show up in accounts include Ali, Baptiste, Kaka, and Sara.
Here’s what that usually means in practice:
- You’ll get guidance and advice designed for getting the most from local marine life, not just completing the session.
- You’ll likely spend less time confused underwater because briefings are described as clear.
- If you’re slightly rusty, you’re not thrown to the deep end. The operator specifically mentions a refreshment session if your last session was not within the past year (and an extra fee might apply).
One more small but meaningful point: the operator frames this package as offering premium value, including the chance to do more underwater time for less in the Bali region. That’s a nice way of saying the cost is kept competitive by bundling the essential parts.
Gear comfort: wetsuit, weights, BCD, regulator

This package includes the gear many divers forget to budget for: wetsuit and weight belt, plus the standard kit like regulator and BCD. If you’ve ever shown up to an island and realized you have to pay separately for weights or a decent wetsuit fit, you already get why this matters.
For certified divers, your comfort is directly tied to buoyancy control and stress level. With a wetsuit included, you don’t need to worry about whether the rental is too old, too thin, or just the wrong feel for your body.
Also, your equipment should be handled as a unit: mask, snorkel, fins, BCD, regulator, instruments. When those pieces are matched and checked by staff, you spend more time watching the sea and less time redoing adjustments.
Price and value check at $311.68 per person

At $311.68 per person for an approximate 3-day span, this package looks reasonable only because it includes a lot that often costs extra elsewhere.
You’re paying for:
- Seven guided underwater sessions (within 7 days)
- Essential equipment and wetsuit
- Weight belt
- Certified instructor/DM support
- Round-trip transfers from your accommodation on Nusa Lembongan
- Use of on-site facilities like lockers, showers, and change room
That’s the value math: when transfers and gear are bundled, your real cost becomes what you’d otherwise spend on rentals plus transport plus guide fees. The package is also capped at 10 people, which can matter if you prefer less crowding and more individual attention.
Could it be expensive if you already own everything and are staying perfectly located near the shop? Sure. But for most people, the included gear and transfers remove the hidden annoyances—and those annoyances usually cost more than you expect.
Schedule reality: seven sessions in a week is a time commitment

The program asks you to complete all seven sessions within 7 days at the dive center. That’s not a problem if you’re planning an island stay with breathing room. It can be a problem if your trip is already packed with other tours or if you’re only visiting for a short window.
Also, weather affects underwater plans on islands. The operator notes the activity requires good weather. If conditions get bad and the operator has to reschedule, your flexibility matters.
A smart move: treat the package as your main water activity. If you stack it with lots of land tours on the same days, you might feel rushed.
Who this is best for (and who should skip it)

This is a great fit if:
- You’re a certified diver
- You’ve dived within the last year (or you’re okay paying for a refreshment session if needed)
- You like structured days with guided support and a small group size
- You want a strong shot at seeing manta rays, plus the chance of spotting Mola Mola (sunfish), since the highlights specifically mention both
It may not be ideal if:
- You can’t commit to doing all seven sessions within 7 days
- You’re sensitive to schedule changes due to weather
- You’re looking for a first-time training experience (this is strictly for certified divers)
Souvenirs and extras: what you might want to plan for
Photos and videos aren’t included. Digital souvenir photos/videos are available to purchase after your sessions. If you care about keeping underwater shots, budget a bit extra.
The shop also has a restaurant, but it’s own expense. On islands, that’s normal. Just don’t assume your day-to-day meals are part of the package price.
Should you book this Nusa Lembongan 7-session package?
I’d book it if you want a straightforward, value-heavy way to maximize water time with included equipment and transfers, plus the kind of instructor support people describe as patient and well run.
I’d think twice if your trip timing is tight, because seven sessions have to fit within a week, and weather can shuffle the schedule. If you’re flexible, this package makes a lot of sense: the site list includes major names like Manta Point and Crystal Bay, the operator keeps the group size small, and the team you’ll work with includes instructors known for clear briefings and close care.
If your goal is simple: see serious marine life, including the chance of manta rays and Mola Mola, while keeping logistics low—this is one of the cleaner ways to do it on Nusa Lembongan.
