Diving with Blue Season Bali was an all around great experience that I’d recommend to anyone. My friends and I did the try scuba diving experience in Padang Bai and received attentive instruction from our superb instructors Aswan and Andre. With two first time divers in our group, we needed a lot of babysitting which they did with tremendous gracious and patience. Even though I was a bit scared to begin with, I felt very safe and comfortable in their care and was ultimately able to have a great time and even see a sea turtle. They also taught us a lot about the marine life in the area. Pick up and drop off were also very smooth! Overall I would highly recommend scuba diving with Blue Season Bali.

Blue Season Bali's customer service team has quick response and give good recommendation according to our requests. We have joined a 2 days trip with 3 scuba dives in Tulamben (USAT Liberty Shipwreck and Dropoff) and 3 dives in Nusa Penida (Crystal Bay, Manta Point and Mangrove Point).
In Tulamben, we had a review session at a dive resort's pool before going to the sea and the resort's environment was good. Meals were delicious too. It was our first time to have shore dive and it was hard time for us to walk against the big wave. Our guide Guna was very caring and patient in assisting us to get through the challenge. Although we gave up the night dive at last, Guna was always trying his best to take care of our safety and was encouraging.
On our 2nd day which was a boat dive, we had a decent boat arranged and staff were helpful in setting up gears for us. Our guide Sedan did a great job in taking care of us in the big current. Big thanks to our buddy Josh too. We could not meet Mola mola but had close up with a few Mantas!
Highly recommended Blue Season Bali if you are looking for an enjoyable diving trip in Bali!

We did a 4 day trip around Bali - 1st day in Tulamben, 2nd Kubu, 3rd Amed, and 4th Nusa Penida. We're pretty sure that Wayan the guide sings to the fish ...he could spot a camouflaged cuttlefish from way back, hunted down mola mola at the end of season, and spotted an ornate ghost pipefish (I think) from paces away.
The consistent WhatsApp updates and reminders each day were extremely helpful. Thank you all at Blue Season.

Getting scuba certified was one of my goals to achieve before leaving Bali but I have always been a little scared to actually do it. The never-ending sight of the ocean scares me to death. I kept on postponing and finding excuses to not do it until I came across Blue Season Bali.
Finally doing my Open Water course was the best decision I have ever made so far. Although I had my doubts at the start, I was partnered up with the best scuba diving buddy and greatest mentors. I felt safe and comfortable the whole way through! Learning from a confined space to diving in the ocean is indescribable, the feeling I got was something I never felt before! AMAZEBALLS!
After the pool sessions, we were finally going into the ocean!! My heart was pounding from the bus ride to the dive site and even harder the second I stepped into the water. I was properly nervous until we descended down and opened my eyes, I was not on earth anymore! I was speechless!
Tulamben as my first ever ocean dive could not have gone any better, after re-practising skills we learnt in the pool, we swam around the wreck and reefs that were filled with all kinds of fish! It was soo beautiful and I couldn't get enough of it!
I saw sweetlips, filefish, yellow boxfish, humped-head fish, eels any crazy more!
In Padang Bai, even better, multiple boat wrecks, turtles, lionfish and sharks! I am terrified of sharks and I got sooo close to one! A meter away from a shark!
Not only did I achieve one of my goals but I overcame one of my biggest fears thanks to Blue Season Bali! Have to say, the best scuba diving center there is in Bali without a doubt!

This is my best dive trip ever!
3 days dive trip, Nusa Penida, Padang Bai, Tepekong.
In Manta Point I saw BLACK Manta (which is rare), Manta Ray and Bamboo Shark, also Dophins on the surface around Cristal Bay.
In Padang Bai, 3 cuttlefishes around me in 7m depth!
I saw a lot of critters also.. my fav is sea horse!
In Tepekong... a LOT of whitetip sharks!
Prepare yourself for strong current and cold water 😁.
I love to dive with Blue Season Bali! ❤
Their staff always care and helpful to the guest and they know how to answer my questions.
They will not let you dive in dangerous site, and adjust the dive site based on the nature condition at the moment and also your skils.
If you want to dive in Nusa Penida or Tepekong but not sure about your skills, discuss with them, for sure they will looking for the best solution for you.
Even I already have my AOW with 75 logs and 5 PADI specialty, I always discuss with them for technical & updated recent condition about the dive sites.
They have really good dive guide, it can be from their dive master or dive instructor. You can learn many things 'informally' when you have trip with them.
Their equipment also complete, they always bring their health & safety equipment incl oxygen and tools / equipment spare parts.
Oh.. if you want to make good underwater photos for your own documentation, discuss with them, they have good underwater photographer & instructor.
Personally,
Blue Season Bali is my favorite & best dive center in Bali for me.
I wil back soon!

I took a course for open water scuba diving and it was AWSOME! Instructures (Simon and Kai) are professional yet FUN. It was a wonderful training. They Made the course filled with Joy and laughter BUT Made sure we understand fully and got everything right. Big thanks to Simon who taught me so patiently and kept me from drowning, since i had trouble to make myself naturally bouyant 😂🤣 but not anymore 🙃. *wink
definitely would recommend this place, especially for anyone who easily get stressed learning something new, cos they always have a way to make the course feel light and not stressfull. I guaranteed.
Oh yeah, and the lunches was delicious. Lol

We did our PADI open water certification with Blue Season in April 2022, and we're so glad we picked this place! We had an amazing time.
Our instructors were Jason and Devin. Jason was super experienced- he would pick up on small things I was doing wrong, and give immediate and constructive feedback. Devin was really great too, he gave friendly and clear instructions, and guided us through all the different skills.
The facilities were great- the pool lessons in the purpose-built diving pool on the first day really helped us get ready for open water. All equipment provided was in excellent condition. We were also given access to the PADI eLearning course beforehand to get in all the theory before we arrived.
We did our Day 3 dive at Tulamben USAT Liberty shipwreck, which we would recommend. Phoebe helped us to take beautiful videos, which we're really grateful for. The photo here is a screenshot from one of her videos.
It's a magical world down there. Thanks Blue Season for teaching us to explore it!

I did my Open Water & Advanced Open Water Courses with BSB and I should have admitted that it was one of the best decisions I made in 2021.
Despite my 3rd & 4th dives for Open Water Course being postponed due to PPKM, I still have an amazing experience with them.
The staffs are super nice, helpful and professional. They always give me the best plan available that can fit in to my schedule. You know sometimes some places being a racist just because I'm a local tourist, but all of the staffs of BSB are very respectful & there is no such thing as discrimination here. They even asked me if I'm more comfortable to have a local or foreigner instructor. I am super grateful for that.

There are two equally valid approaches to learning Tech Diving. One is to learn for its own sake and the other is to learn with a particular objective in mind. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have found Jason, the PADI Course Director at Blue Season Bali who understood both approaches.
The formal demands of the PADI Tech 40 & 45 course, cannot be underestimated. What is different with Jason’s approach is that these skills are not to be feared or intimidating. Jason’s approach, was to observe his students’ actions and keep questioning them until an answer or action led to a solution; be that in the classroom or 45 meters down or in a decompression stage.
I did not consider my final day on the course as a skills assessment although that is exactly what it was. Under the watchful eye of my instructor I was confident in planning and executing decompression dives independently within my limits and that of the course. Jason was always available to advise me of the feasibility of all my dive plans.
I would like to thank Blue Season Bali, not just for the current training but for 10 years of support and encouragement. Thank you especially to Jason for your patience, thoroughness, experience and flexibility. Thank you also Andi, for making the resources of Blue Season Bali available for me to explore what is really a journey into the self; not so much in learning what is possible to achieve in diving but, to borrow an ancient Greek motto, a lesson in how to: γνῶθι σεαυτόν.

I was only in Bali for 3 full days and before I made a decision to dive here, the wonderful staff at Blue Season Bali shared with me the different course options I can take to make full use of my time here to learn diving and also explore Bali, so they were there to help me during my initial planning stage! They were so detailed - from timings, day 1 schedule, etc., and extremely patient in answering the questions that I have for them. We asked, and they delivered! They were also very responsive to our messages and enquiries as well.
