The best experience ever!!! I did the course with a friend and found that the course was well organised and computer tuition was easy to follow which made understanding the examples revised and shown under water by our fantastic instructor Robby Irawan. If you are thinking of doing the same course ask for Robby, he was really knowledgeable and friendly but most importantly he never gave up on me when i was ready to give up on myself. I would 100% recommend Dune Atlantis to anybody who wants to learn diving, super worth, super friendly!

Amazing! I had my diving course and did my first dive with Bali Diving. At first, I learned it in the swimming pool, then to Padang Bai, and Tulamben (USAT Liberty Shipwreck). And it's so much fun! As someone with zero diving experience, the explanation from the dive instructor, Bli Ketut Latra, was very clear and easy to understand. Whenever I felt nervous, he could calm me down and made me excited to master the diving skills. Bli Ketut was also fun to talk with during the trip. He is the best! The staff from Bali Diving are also very friendly and helpful. They have diving masks for people with glasses (my eyes are -4). And at that time I was able to use it at no extra cost! However, there was additional cost for the diving documentation. During the diving course, everything had been prepared: transportation, diving equipment, lunch. I just needed to bring a towel and sunscreen. Anyway, I highly recommend Bali Diving for anyone who wants to learn or try diving. Thank you, Bali Diving!

This review is long overdue but the memory is still very fresh in my mind since we had such a great experience with Kadek. We had a full day tour and we truly believe that Kadek is the reason why he had so much fun that day. He was so genuinely kind and easy going. We went to the water fall, the natural spring and the volcano water park. It was probably one of our best days in Bali. Kadek even stopped by the market and let us try some of the local fruit (mangosteen and rambutan have now become my addiction). If we come back we plan to do this same tour all over again and ask for Kadek!

We had one day to visit Gili islands to snorkel. It was a busy though thoroughly enjoyable day. We were picked up from our hotel at 6.30am, driven in a private car to the harbour about 90 mins away, escorted onto a 'fast boat' with others to the Gili Islands, picked up by Reza (our snorkelling guide), taken to another harbour 5 min away, and then taken on our own boat for private snorkelling trip that lasted about 3 and a half hours that covered all the snorkelling spots in the three Gili Islands. We then were escorted back to our hotel similarly and got back to the hotel at about 6.30pm. Hady co-ordinated the day tour and kept in touch all day by WhatsApp to ensure that we were at the right place at the right time. Reza (our snorkelling guide) was great - he took underwater photographs and videos which were sent to me via google drive the next day - he helped my wife when needed - speaks good English - is very pleasant - and gave us the most amazing snorkelling experience - including a swim with a sea turtle! A couple of tips - better to sit upstairs in the fast boat otherwise its quite hot, be prepared for a short scooter ride if you start from Lombok rather than Gili T

Sudi was a fantastic guide! We packed in 6 sites during the day! He is very knowledgeable about each site and about Bali! He is very friendly and easy to talk to. I asked him a million questions about Bali and he always knew the answer. He is also great at taking a photo or video if you need. The car is very spacious and was an oasis from the heat after visiting each site. Highly recommend booking!!
