I recently enjoyed every moment of my week diving with World Diving Lembongan.
Most readers will want to know the dive operation is absolutely First Class. The dive boats are well equipped, dive masters, including Putu and Danny are incredibly knowledgeable (and friendly) and the sites are selected to ensure the best conditions. Others I spent time with said the PADI courses were lots of fun, and professional.
Drift diving around Lembongan has to be experienced to be believed.
I spent a week in a Seaview room, on the beachfront and a few steps from the dive ship. It was great. Bed was super-comfortable, the bathroom "worked" and I enjoyed a million dollar location for less than anyone would expect.
And the Sunset Bar, again mere steps away, is a great meeting place for after-dive drinks, and meals. Food is delicious...I really enjoyed their curries!
Finally, there are lots of other bars and restaurants a very short walk away. The beach itself is beautiful.
I'll be going back. If you want a fantastic diving experience, good, clean accommodation at the "right" price and in the best location, contact John and Sue at World Dive. Be assured they will provide a warm welcome, and a great stay.
HINT: Use Arthamas fast boats for your transfers from Sanur...they drop you on the beach directly in front of WD!

We booked the afternoon before our dives, my son and I needed a refresher after qualifying in May 2021 and not diving since, Sue was incredibly accommodating and booked us in for a training session before our dive. Putu took us for the refresher and was then DM /guide for the actual dives, he was great ensuring we were all safe whilst point out some of the marine life. We all had a great time and would recommend World Diving

This was the most amazing diving experience. We researched Lembongan diving before we left and knew it would be good…. But it was better than that, it was absolutely amazing.
We chose Mola Mola season and knew you would still have to be extremely lucky to see the main attraction… and yes…. We got them 🙏
The jewel in the crown for diving on Lembongan Island was World Diving, as they were just fantastic. The whole operation was very professional, very safe and the whole team were there to ensure your experience was the best it could be.
John and Sue heading up were great, our dive guard Dani was the best and the rest of the team were amazing and were all on the same page, wanting to deliver amazing memories. They did it 💪
We have to have a special mention to Dani, who put up with the crazy gang and all their antics. Singing the days away on the dive boat. Cries of… we love you Dani , we do…. We love you Dani, we do, could be heard across the bays of Lembongan and the surrounding Islands.
The diving delivered everything that was on our tick list…. Mola Mola, Manta Rays, Wobbegong Shark, white tip sharks, grey shark, so many turtles, leaf fish, frog fish, Banded sea snakes…. The list was endless and amazing.
If you are going to dive here, do not look past World Diving, there an an absolute pleasure.
Thanks to all involved in delivering the most amazing experience. We will never forget our time here and the gang are in agreement, that we will be going back for sure 😀
Top quality service and experience. Our thanks and best wishes go to the whole team for making our holiday so memorable.

we spent 3 days within Lembongan and all together with world diving. for a trip arround Bali/Nusa Lembongan I would like to say - probably the best diving shop within the Bali;). The big advantage is boat roof top lounge from where your non diving better half can join your adventure

I spent 3 weeks in Lembongan in almost daily contact with the World Diving staff as my boyfriend dived the entire time with them. I’m not a diver, but I did a discovery dive about a week into our holiday and went snorkeling on their diving trips on several days.
I was very happy with the level of teaching regarding the discovery dive and my instructor’s calmness, as well as the equipment. I was told World Diving charges only for what you actually do on the discovery dive, so if you decide not to go diving in the open water after the pool practice, you won’t be charged the entire price. The open water portion of the discovery dives is done on the very calm and shallow House Reef just off the Jungutbatu beach, so it’s a safe location to try diving.
I loved the snorkeling with World Diving around Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Penida. Most diving sites they use are also good for snorkeling, and they let you know if the day’s sites are not (Blue Corner, for example). Snorkeling is not the main activity for World Diving, but they are happy to take snorkelers along on the diving boats. World Diving has a lovely big boat with a toilet and a sun deck, and a couple of smaller boats. The boat captains will keep an eye on the snorkelers, tell them where the current is going, and pick them up when they are ready to come back up. You get all equipment from the diving club and they are of good quality, and there are safety vests on the boats that can be used for snorkeling if needed. I snorkeled on 6 or 7 different sites and almost all of them were filled with marine life and different corals to look at, often it felt like swimming in fish soup! I found only one of the sites too crowded with other boats and snorkelers on organized snorkeling trips, but that wasn’t World Diving’s fault and all the other sites were uncrowded and rather peaceful to snorkel.
A special mention must go to the friendliness of the staff at World Diving. From the owners (who we briefly met) and office managers to instructors, dive masters and boat captains, everyone was very helpful and kind. We came to trust the office managers for all kinds of issues besides diving and snorkeling, from local info on the best shops and massage places to ferry tickets and booking a transit hotel on the Bali main island.
They also have the most charming cats and dogs at the diving club! Mr Cat, Lucy, Murphy, and the rest of the gang stole our hearts, not to mention the frequent visitor foster puppies from Paws of Lembongan!

Dear villimiina,
Wow! This is the best review I have ever had the pleasure of answering from a non diver. Thank you for such a detailed response. I know our crew will love reading this one as they put so much effort into making sure our guest have the best experience possible.
Congratulations on taking part in our Discover Scuba Diver programme. Our plan is always to give people control over their diving experiences with us with no pressure to do something they do not enjoy. Can we tempt you to come back and take the Open Water Course?
All the best.
The World Diving Team.

Sue and John were so welcoming, and went out of their way to make sure I had a great time diving two days in a row; and they were great helping set my wife up to go snorkeling while the rest of us dove. The gear was all in great condition, and the boat was comfortable (they even had a roof deck with beam bag chairs). They also served a pretty tasty lunch between the first and second dives, and they had coffee, tea, and water on board for the whole trip. I would highly recommended this dive company in Lembongan.

I did 14 fun dives around Nusa Penida with World Diving Lembongan over the course of seven days. Some dives site were so-so, but others were really really good. For example, I saw manta rays, many turtles, lots of nudibranch, mantis shrimp, rays, eels, plenty of different types of fishes, and too many other things to mention. Oh, and did I mention that there was a WHALE SHARK? Whoaaaaaaa. Some of the dive sites have coral that’s in great shape too.
World Diving itself is a professional outfit. Their divemasters are fun and know what they’re doing. They really cared about making sure I had fun dives. World Diving also has the largest boat around, which makes for comfortable dive trips.
I stayed in one of the Sea View rooms, which was functional but basic. It also could be maintained better; for example, giant paint flakes were chipping off the doors. And the shower water was a little bit salty. You can find better accommodation for the price nearby—very nearby too, so don’t worry about that—and I will do that next time I’m on Lembongan.
All in all though, if you’re going to Lembongan to dive, I highly recommend World Diving for their lovely people and their professionalism.

Dear PeterAkkies,
Thank you so much for this great review. I have been diving out here since 1991 and so far have only managed to see two whale sharks, so I am just a little bit envious.
We always like getting in a review that gives us ideas of what we can do to be that bit better. I accept your comments about the rooms. We have a scheduled painting and renovation programme starting this month and that should rectify the issues you found with the rooms.
I do hope that we see you out here again in the not too distant future.
All the best.
The World Diving Team.

My husband and I dove for two days with World Diving and had a great experience. Booking with them over email was easy, the gear they provided was good, and their guides and staff were very helpful.
Our dives were nice, the dive sites they picked were lovely and had some very cool wildlife.
This is a no frills diving operation, so expect to set up your own gear (with help if you need it). Lunch was a tasty local noodle and rice dish served in a banana leaf and eaten with your hands. Their staff were also super helpful when we asked about things like restaurant recommendations and getting a boat back to Bali.
Also, the office cat, 'Mister Cat' is a sweetie.

Dear Jlandrew11,
Thank you for this terrific review, and a huge thank you from Mr. Cat too! He gets fed up when all the fish, boats and crew get a mention when he works so hard to make the guests happy : )
I am so glad that you enjoyed the dives around Nusa Penida and I hope we can tempt you to come back again to see more of what our islands have to offer.
All the best.

Me and my boyfriend Maarten came to World Diving to get his Open Water course. All
was organized by Andrea very well. The price was good value. The sea view rooms were amazing; every evening a different sunset and you can walk from the doorstep directly to the beach. They have a swimming pool area where you can relax as well.
The dive instructor Adam was very thorough, patiënt and friendly. We went a couple time for lunch with him he showed us his local restaurants to eat at.
Only small thing was that the camera was not working so we couldn’t take any photos under water and that we had to pay for petrol for a further dive we didn’t know in advance but it was not a big problem for us, maybe it is common over there.
Definitely recommend this diving school to everyone!

I did my PADI open water at world Diving and it was an amazing experience. The staff were fantastic and the whole process was very streamlined. My girlfriend stayed with me and joined me for a couple of dives on the last day of my course, she loved it too. Highly recommend World Diving Lembongan to anyone looking to do your open water or just go see some beautiful places!!!

Hello
Do you find frog fish on your dives?
Written January 5, 2019
Hi 859denisek,
We don't often see frogfish on our dive sites, but sometimes we are lucky and one will take up residence for a few days until the currents persuade them to take up a new abode!
The most common sites for finding them are Pura Masgading, Crystal Bay and the house reef.

We are thinking of boating over from Sanur for a two day stay on Nusa L. We are wondering...
(1) Where to stay that is one the beach and near Scuba Diving Center?
(2) How to arrange Scuba Diving? We would like minimum two dives if possible...and need equipment (we will have snorkel, mask and booties/fins)
Is it possible to Scuba the first day after arrival, or best the second day?
Thanks

Hi Leslie,
When are you planning to come to Nusa Lembongan? we do have accommodation at our dive centre. There are the Sea front rooms at Rp.350,000 a night including breakfast and also our Garden Rooms at Rp. 450,000. The best way to get to Lembongan is with Rocky Fast Cruise. They have 4 boats per day. What I would suggest is to take the last boat to Lembongan . This leaves Sanur at 17:30 and arrives at the island at 18:00. They also offer a pick up and drop off service at either end.
You can then dive with us the following morning. We do a two dive trip each day and usually meet at the dive shop at around 08:00 depending on the tides. A two dive trip, including equipment, snacks and guide is Rp.1,100,000 per person.
You can then either spend the following night with us and make a second day of diving or go back on the afternoon boat which leaves at 16:30.
If you want to make a booking, please contact us using our web site and we will get straight back to you.

Hi, do you offer freediving courses from your centre?
Written August 31, 2016
Hi, World Diving do not offer freediving courses and I wouldn't say the waters around Lembongan are particularly suited to them due to the tendency towards strong currents. The Gilis might be a better place to learn. Hope that helps!
