Scuba Diving

Blue Corner Dive operates three dive centres in Bali. We began with our resort in Nusa Lembongan, where we became a PADI 5 Star Career Development Centre — the highest rating within the PADI system. We are also a recognised conservation centre with reef-restoration projects and courses based on validated science and techniques, led by our experienced in-house marine biologists.

The island most people never see Low season in Lembongan runs roughly from November to April, and it changes the vibe in the best way. Things slow down, the crowds thin out, and the island starts to feel like an actual place again, not just a holiday hotspot. It is quieter, easier, and far more relaxed. Once you experience it, it is hard not to prefer it.

If current makes your breathing spike, you are not alone. It happens to a lot of beginner and intermediate divers, even when everything feels fine at the start of the dive.

One minute you are cruising. Then the water starts moving, your breathing speeds up, and your air seems to disappear faster than expected.

This is not about fitness. It is about breathing habits, and those are much easier to change than most people think.

Fact, fiction, and why every diver should be an Enriched Air diver Nitrox tends to get a strange reputation in recreational diving, and much of it comes from half understood conversations on boats and in dive centres. Even experienced divers sometimes see it as technical, risky, or something that lets you dive deeper. None of that really reflects how Nitrox is actually used in everyday recreational diving.

The PADI Advanced Open Water course is where you build real diving confidence. You refine your buoyancy, expand your limits, and learn to dive with control in a range of conditions. If you want training that prepares you for diving anywhere in the world, Nusa Lembongan is the place.

Even in the dry season, tropical weather can surprise you. One minute it’s blazing sunshine, the next it’s a full downpour. It’s part of island life! And honestly, it’s not such a bad thing. The rain cools things down, keeps the island lush, and gives you a good reason to slow the pace. But it helps to be prepared. Whether you’re here for diving, relaxing, or just exploring, it’s smart to have a few rainy day options up your sleeve.

Here’s how to make the most of rainy days in Nusa Lembongan.

Getting back in the water after some time away is exciting. But if it’s been six months or more since your last dive, we recommend a refresher. Even experienced divers can feel a little rusty after a break, and a quick session upfront makes your first dive back smooth, safe, and way more enjoyable.

The best part? A refresher is short, inexpensive, and packed with value. Spending a little time on it means you can dive straight into the fun, without worrying about the basics.

One of the best things about diving is how close it brings you to marine life. You’re not just watching nature from a distance, you’re in it. Floating over coral, cruising in the current beside turtles, or finning through schools of fish feels magical. But with that privilege comes responsibility. Coral reefs and marine ecosystems are fragile, and divers play a big role in protecting them.

You’ve got your swimsuit, flip-flops, and sunnies packed. Great start. But if you want your holiday to be truly stress-free, there are a few items people never think to bring until they’re already on the island. These are the little things that can make a big difference, whether you’re diving, snorkelling, or just soaking up the island vibes.

You’re coming to the Nusa Islands and wondering: should I stay on Nusa Lembongan or Nusa Penida? The short answer: both islands share the same dive sites. What makes them different is the lifestyle and vibe you’ll get on land.

Experience one of the ocean’s most awe-inspiring encounters by diving with Mola alexandrini, the giant ocean sunfish, in Nusa Penida Marine Park.

Looking to dive beyond the usual Bali hotspots? Join Blue Corner Dive for an unforgettable trip to West Bali National Marine Park, home to some of the island’s most untouched and ecologically rich underwater environments.

If you’re planning a scuba diving trip to Bali, Nusa Penida should be at the top of your list. Known for its crystal-clear waters, thriving coral reefs, and exciting marine life, scuba diving in Nusa Penida offers one of the most unforgettable underwater experiences in Indonesia.

Any diver 12 years or older with Advanced Open Water certification can take the Rescue Diver course. You’ll also need to have completed EFR (CPR/First Aid) training within the last 24 months, but don’t worry if you haven’t done that already! Most students take it with us alongside the Rescue Course.

Bali’s “Top Dive Sites” that doesn’t include Crystal Bay. Located on the northwest side of the island, Crystal Bay is the most frequented dive site in the channel between Nusa Ceningan and Nusa Penida. Like many of the sites around the Nusa Islands, Crystal Bay has the potential to subject divers to strong currents and thermoclines, but is perfectly safe for new divers under appropriate supervision.

COVID-19 has changed the world as we know it. The novel coronavirus has quarantined people, closed country borders, and halted businesses around the world.

If you’re a diver, you love the ocean. You’ve also probably recognized that our oceans, and their inhabitants, are in danger. Plastic pollution, rising temperatures, and over-tourism have destroyed reefs and marine life around the world.
