        My dive trip to the Liberty wreck
        Neptune Scuba Diving are a very professional and client friendly organisation. I was picked up on time from Legian for the trip to their facilities at Sanur. All the paperwork complete, tried on my dive gear and off we went on the 2.5-3 hour trip to the dive site. Once there, we had another quick brief from the dive master Nori, and off we went to dive on the liberty wreck. You have to be very careful because it is a beach dive but the beach is volcanic rock so easily to fall over and hurt yourself. In the water, who could believe it took over 9kg of weight for me to submerge. Nori kept adding weights and finally a rock!!! The dive was interesting looking at what is left of the wreck. The second dive was cut short when I had a coughing attack and swallowed lots of seawater. Nori looked after me back to shore. A demonstration of just how professional and how seriously they take safety as a major concern. Thanks to Nori and the team for what was still an enjoyable day.

        Amazing 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!!

        Definite must
        A 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 & Nicki

        Thanks, great day out
        Guides 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.

        Fantastic Day Out
        We 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.

        Very polite staff and experienced diving instructors. The places they took us were amazing, especially the drift snorkelling where we were in the sea world paradise, spectacular reefs, we saw turtles, dolphins and manta rays

        Snorkelling Manta point
        This tour was incredible and delivered what it said it would - we saw so so many Manta rays, the guides were excellent and very helpful making sure we were within their sights at all times. Drift snorkelling was amazing , saw so much coral, colourful fish and was so relaxing and peaceful. The snorkelling, and guides I would score a 5. I have only given a 4 out of 5 as were as a group underwhelmed (not disappointed , just underwhelmed ) with the lunch and location of the lunch - trivial I know but trip advisor is asking for feedback so this is our constructive feedback . We thought we would maybe eat at one of the beaches - picnic on the beach or on a pontoon etc . We all were handed a lunchbox with either rice or noodles, like a school lunch and the boat docked in a small wharf where we were told to eat on the boat (small boat for our group only ) which was not pretty and toilets on the wharf were locked. To be fair, the tour doesnt say "eat on a beach or buffet lunch etc so their wording is not misleading , we just had thought that would occur as previous snorkelling trips we had done provide that, so it was our interpretation only and not misrepresentation) . Had Neptune tours had docking rights for one of the beaches it would have been a more pleasant lunch experience. So snorkelling and amazing guides 5/5, overall experience on the whole day 4/5.

        Great family experience
        I booked this dive school based of recommendations on Reddit r/scuba and they did not disappoint (I typically find reddit community recommendations very reliable). We traveled to Bali from Singapore specifically to do our open water diver certification as a family. Since I am parent diving with my teenage children I am extremely safety conscious and wanted industry best practices to be followed. I wanted my family to learn to enjoy this sport in the safest way possible and for my teens to understand the importance of following the guidelines an practices set by PADI and local authorities and learn to dive safely. Neptune scuba school was patient, gentle and encouraging. We had 2 instructors for our family of 4 the entire time. They were extremely patient w/ my 12 year old daughter who was often dramatic and a bit obnoxious. We took extra breaks when needed but they ensured we were all able to complete all the skills independently that are required for the open water diver certification. We had such a great experience that after completing the 3 day OW course we added on an extra day of diving and went with them to Nusa Penida. Swimming with the giant reef manta rays was definitely a top ten lifetime experience for me. We made unforgettable memories as a family and I highly recommend Neptune scuba diving for anyone interested in trying this sport, getting training, or looking for a reputable dive master.

        Neptune Scuba Diving Club- a major operator and maybe the best in Bali
        It took us 3 days to finish the OW course with 4 dives followed by another 8 dives with Neptune Scuba Diving Club, our instructor Sia as well as dive guide Agus was so patient and professional, the whole support team also took good care of us in all details, it’s a perfect dive school and it’s also a warm family. No doubt I will introduce Neptune to my friends who want to participate OW course or just need a fun dive tour.

        The most expensive yet the least enjoyment
        Diving with Neptune is my worst decision for this AOW course. I attended this course on Aug,2023 During one of the specialties- Deep Dive, other diving centers always offer the fun part for students. I specially brought egg and coke for deep diving, and got permission from the staff and manager in advance. But the instructor still did not let me do it during the dive, even there was lots of time and I was in a good condition. He just turned away right after finishing his job underwater. We are diving for fun, not robotically diving. And I think the experience is one of the most importance, and of course safety first. So let me answer again for the question from the instructor, whats the point of doing this drinking and egg thing? We dive for fun and new experiences, i just cant tell how excited when we actually see the physics happening in person. If the instructor cannot make sure the safety that other instructors 100% sure for their AOW students, Does it mean s/he just not good enough? Neptune charged almost double price than other diving center, but offer the least enjoyment for me and broke our agreement. I consider this was a lying to my face. If this is prohibited you should let me clear before the diving. This totally wasted my money and diving chances on this course. Choose Neptune, choose boring diving, you know what to choose. BTW, the receptionist was nice and helpful.

        just a dream-day: i would do this trip ever & ever again!
        what an amazing trip: - we snorkled at three different, wonderful spots (we saw: dolphins, mantas, turtles, clownfishes and many more fishes and beautiful corals)! - the staff was very friendly, competent & safety related - the communication before the trip was very clear and good (via whatsapp) - the food (snacks and lunch: i had the fried noodles vegetarian) was super delicious - but the hole trip takes around 11 hours… ;) even better!

      Can't say enough great things about this dive center, the staff, and the diving overall. From start to finish, it was a fantastic experience! Julian was highly responsive and engaging from the very beginning answering any question I had. On the day of the dive, we got picked up from our hotel and were promptly greeted with cookies and drinks. The dives themselves were amazing - the day being capped off with a third dive (a drift dive) which I'd highly recommend as you just can't beat all the sea life you'll see - it was truly like flying through the ocean. In the end, we were greeted with fresh doughnuts and beverages. Again, I can't say enough about this dive center its staff. They truly do go out of their way to take care of your needs (thank you for that). When I come back, I'll definitely go out with them again!

      As a qualified PADI Divemaster, I am always interested in the competency and professionalism of the dive shops I dive with. Neptune were awesome. From Yoga making sure that the free shuttle picked me up on time at my hotel, to the dive and boat crew who made sure I was fully briefed, my equipment was correctly set up and that I had an unforgettable experience seeing Manta Rays, Sun fish, a wealth of coral fish and "heart of hearts" a turtle! Ochi my local guide had over 20 years of experience and it really showed in his attitude, calmness and professionalism. My partner did not dive, but instead she snorkelled. She loved it, and I appreciated the way the crew made sure her day was just as good as mine. If I ever go back to Bali, I know where I will be diving. Thank you Neptune team!!!!!!

      My wife and I were on a cruise to Indonesia and had 2 days on a port stop in Bali. Indonesia diving is famous, so we scheduled 4 dives over 2 days with Neptune — 2 on Nusa Penida, and 2 on Padang Bai. Neptune was excellent, arranging our transport from and back to the cruise ship both days and all the details of the diving so as to make sure we got back on the boat in plenty of time. Dive guides were great— personable and very talented at finding interesting stuff underwater. I got some fabulous pix! And the level of service was better than we’re accustomed to seeing in other parts of the world . These guys prepare, load and unload all equipment for you! My wife and I are experienced divers, but we’re also not as young as we used to be (😉), so we appreciated the special attention which this crew was more than happy to provide! And the diving was fantastic! It was rainy season, so we didn’t expect great visibility, but it was much better than expected. Seeing the many mantas at Manta Point was one of the highlights of my decades of diving. And all the smaller stuff was extremely impressive as well. I highly recommend diving in Bali and especially with Neptune.

      My 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.

      I used my own gear and they went over it with a fine tooth comb at the shop before getting on the boat, unlike most other dive shops who don't even carry spare parts on board. These guys are professional, yet the vibe was relaxed. The boat was a little old and crowded, but covered unlike most of the other boats I saw. We dove the Mantas and some coral drift dives. All the diving was amazing. The boat crew was well organized, and they gave us snacks, liquids, and a nice lunch. I would use them again.

      It was an awesome 3-days trip in Bali with Neptune! We were so lucky that we saw Mola Mola when we did diving in Nusa penida, they were so cute! And also met Christina! Staff in Neptune are super friendly, they provide detailed service as much as they can, it’s more like VIP service, one dive guider with one customer, making us feel like at home, very comfortable and cozy. And Joe is very nice, ask free as u want, she will always reply asap. We are looking forward next year liveaboard to Banda Sea, love u guys in Neptune!

      best 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!

      A wonderful experience diving with 10-12 Manta rays at manta point! We went to three dive sites on the 1 day trip and saw turtles, octopus, cuttlefish, sting rays, Māori wrasse and countless tropical fish species. I did a refresher dive in the pool that morning which helped build my confidence and build a rapport with my instructor. Everything was taken care of from the morning hotel transfer to the beautiful lunch. The staff and instructors were very attentive, particularly with the dive briefs and topography. The whole day was a dream come true. Highly recommend for divers of all levels.

      I had a great day out fun diving with Neptune! I was really impressed with the shop itself at the outset - it’s got a large pool for training, several nice showers for post-dive, and a spacious bar / chill area. Piyo was my guide and was fantastic, super attentive above and below the surface to make sure I was having a good time, being safe, etc. He took a ton of great underwater footage and was kind enough to share it with me as well, so now I have memories of our dives! I would recommend to anyone looking for a shop in Bali!

      This is an absolute must do adventure if you are a diver and you are visiting Bali. I have always wanted to dive with the manta rays, and this trip could not have been more perfect. Neptune Dive Center in Bali Is 100% first class from start to finish. I’ve been diving for 30 years, and I don’t think that I would change a single thing about how they run their organization. Julian is excellent about getting in touch with you and answering any and all questions. They pick you up from your hotel right on time with an air-conditioned van and take you to the dive center which is beautiful. They have a specially designed dive pool for certifications. I’ve never seen anything like it outside of theme parks or commercial aquariums. They provide every single thing that you need including extremely comfortable full wetsuits, towels, reusable water bottles filled with cold water and a homemade lunch which was amazing. I had the honor of going with Joe, wife to Julian and co-owner of Neptune. She is an absolutely phenomenal woman. She is incredible in her ability to spot everything underwater and point t out. We had at least 10 manta ray encounters where they come up to you incredibly close as long as you are still and don’t move toward them. It was a dream come true and better than I could’ve imagined!! I have already recommended them to Dive Center to anyone who dives!
