About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- lauriem2640 contributionsAmazing boat dive experience thanks to Neptune Scuba Diving, A+We had a great dive trip with Neptune Scuba Diving, which was extremely well coordinated by the friendly team at Neptune. They were proactive in communicating with us, from arranging hotel pick up and drop, to doing a refresher dive, then providing a wonderful day long boat dive experience. Neptune’s facilities are excellent, in a modern building with their own beautiful dive pool and clean toilets/showers. All aspects of the dive are well planned, and catered for in a small group setting, in our case the two of us having our own dive guide, Herry. The dive sites, while busy, were great, with lots to see, such as Manta and we got lucky and saw Mola Mola, woohoo! We dived at Manta Point and Crystal Bay, which had great visibility. A big thanks to the Neptune team, who are very friendly and professional, and a special shout out to the amazing Herry, the Mola Mola whisperer!!Written September 6, 2024
- Caspette0 contributionsDefinite mustA wonderful experience! From booking to pick up, to Neptune office and then onto boat was a breeze in booking and contact to ensure we were prepared and safe. The three snorkeling site were well chosen and we saw Manta Rays (maybe 12!!) then 2 drift snorkels with our lovely guide. The water was clear and warmish. They supplied towels and wetsuits plus a delicious lunch. Very helpful and supportive crew on the boat and responsible skipper. Overall a delightful day with and great crew who made our day spectacular. Thank you Julian and crew. Jane & NickiWritten August 26, 2024
- V4248PUak0 contributionsThanks, great day outGuides were very attentive and knowledgeable and high ratio of instructors to snorkelers. The drift snorkel was even better than the Manta rays. Everything provided for. Only improvement would be less waiting time to depart to the boat from the beach and why not return guests straight back to their hotels rather than make them wait in the dive centre on return.Written August 14, 2024
- R8765HIelisabethm0 contributionsGreat dive center- amazing experienceThis dive shop is legit, I don’t doubt it’s the best dive shop in Bali. I had my own DM, dive briefings were thorough and clear, and I always knew what to expect. The lunch provided accommodated for my gluten allergy and was delicious. It was like we were at a resort, beautiful dive shop and pool, towels, snacks, Dramamine all provided. My DM was very capable and helped me out in a strong down current. Also, diving with the mantas was amazing. The site was crowded but each DM only had an individual or buddy pair so I never got lost and got a lot of great interactions with the mantas. My partner did the discover dive and got a solid pool session and very attentive help from his instructor. I would absolutely dive here next time I come to Bali.Written August 12, 2024
- Grreece200230 contributionsAbsolutely AwesomeWOW Absolutely Amazing They could not be more accommodating and professional.

- Karllaw340 contributionsPerfect 10 out of 10 experiencebest scuba diving service i have ever experience in my life. Mantas were awesome, one was swimming right above my head, literally 1 meter away! and my guide Nauwi had absolutely amazing eye sight, spotted 4 mantis shrimps, one moray eel and other very cool creatures down there even in the rock cracks! I am very impressed by this! service was very detailed, very caring crew team, they offer pick up and drop offs very very on time which was amazing, also offer snacks, brekkie and lunch boxes which all are in form of recyclable tools, very environmental freindly!!!! dive center itself is very clean and tidy and cozy, chill environment and crew members and the owner is very flexible for all changes. Last but not least, they provide 2 big towels for me to use after diving on the boat and hot shower in the dive center. i can only say flawless, after all i been to many places diving like aussie egypt south africa thailand etc, this is by far the BEST crew i have ever encountered. shout out to them, absolutely do not hesistate booking with them, you will not regret. and guys if you see this! keep it up i will be back!Written July 12, 2024
- christophergU7666MH0 contributionsProfessional, friendly, memorable experienceWent diving with Neptune diving in Bali and in Komodo staying at their hotel Komodo Resort. The team made everything smooth for me, the reservation was quick, hotel pick-up was on time, they helped book the flight tickets from Bali to Labuan Bajo, a full on service that took me by surprise. even prepared a airport and boat transfer to get me to their private island in Komodo. I travelled solo but they were busy enough to meet new people and that added to the fun. Big shoutout to my dive guide Noe in Bali and to Yoga who helped with making everything happen. This was an experience that you can't forget especially because I got to see everything i wanted, especially the manta rays both in Bali and in Komodo.Written July 2, 2024
- marklR7504SH0 contributionsOrganized and ReliableThe drift dive was awesome and the best I ever had. The current was strong but felt safe to follow the dive master and enjoyed the ride. The trip was well organized. Pickup was on time. Equipment was functional. Briefing was on point and the dive crew was very help to get in and out of water. Will definitely trust and go with this operator again.Written June 12, 2024

- Passenger6141000 contributionsWonderful overall experienceSnorkelling with the mantas was incredible and the diving at the other spots were some of the most beautiful dives we’ve ever done. Neptune dive equipment was in superb condition, the staff were amazing- friendly, professional and fun. We would highly recommend using them!Written April 19, 2024
- N4637TYryans0 contributionsAmazing diving experience and friendly staffThe staff at Neptune were very attentive in getting everything booked and answering all of my questions prior to our dive. Our dive guide Gude was great and really kept a close eye on my girlfriend who is new to diving and made her feel very safe. We saw lots of Mantas and an incredible amount of corals and diversity of fish on the drift dive. The lunch was also very tasty. Amazing experience! Thank youWritten April 7, 2024
- jamielak0 contributionsPleasant dive experienceMy husband and I had a very pleasant experience diving with Mully. The equipment provided were new and well maintained. We felt safe diving with Mully even when were drift diving with the currents. In calmer waters, he took the time to let us explore various dive sites including Manta Point. Mully is a very experienced diver and he planned the dives well. The boat ride to the dive sites was comfortable. We met divers from othet dive shops as well. Neptune arranged for pick up and drop off services to our resort in Sayan. They even had breakfast prepared for us as we had to leave the resort early. I was amazed at how beautiful and healthy the reefs were. We saw multiple manta rays too. I would highly recommend Neptune to any divers who are looking for a dive shop in Bali.Written March 29, 2024
- goneftn0 contributionsFantastic Day OutWe were at the Café (attached to the Dive shop which is really good) and called into the Dive Shop. Ended up booking this trip and it was fantastic. I would highly recommend it. The snorkelling gear was good, the boat was good, the lunch was good and the guide (Angel) was fantastic. The ratio of guides to guests was 1:2 so anyone with any lack of confidence should feel safe. We had a really good day and will be booking with them again.Written March 25, 2024
- davidwm680 contributionsExcellent and Wel Organised.An excellent day. Pick up from hotel on time and everything was well organised. Diving with the manta rays is spectacular.Written March 11, 2024

Did a total of 5 dives over 2 days at Padangbai.
The crew and Dive Master are the best. They are patient and you feel safe with them. They were familiar with the place and are able to point out all the spots for you.

Neptune Scuba Diving is the most professional dive shop we have ever used. Julian and all the staff are so nice and helpful.
People who aren't used to dive and are doing Discover scuba diving get a class in the swimming pool to get used to the equipment which I have never seen before. It did help a lot!
Both dives in Padang Bai were amazing, the dive guide was great! They offer great value as well (Cheaper than most in Bali) and still have a new and good equipment.
Everything was perfect, I highly recommend it!

I had initially signed up for a discovery dive at Tulamben because with the other activities that I had scheduled, there just wasn't enough time. However, after my first dive with Gobang, I knew that there was nothing else I wanted to do more than diving so I threw all my other plans to the wind. Gede, who is absolutely amazing, was my instructor for the OWD course and made sure that we moved at a comfortable pace. I've been on the road for a little over a month now but the three days I spent here were easily the highlights of my trip(s). The staff here are all incredibly friendly and warm; it feels less like a workplace and more like a community of kindred spirits. I can't wait until I come back! (Also, thank you Joe for getting aloe on me. You're the real MVP).

Julian and Joe run an amazing dive operation. From our first contact with Julian on the live chat on their website to their shuttle dropping us back at our hotel after our day of OW dives, their customer service was stellar! They are both so personable and down-to- earth. Their facilities, snacks, lunch, water bottles, dive team are top notch. Gobang was our divemaster and he did a great job guiding us on both of our dives.

Nice people, good gear and a great diving spot. They have this pool by the office with a glass wall where you can actually look into the pool. My son went swimming after the courses were done. Great!
