      Nice day out and worth doing for sure!
      Good day out. Highlight was seeing turtles and clown fish! Not too busy and managed to avoid the rain. Staff were friendly!

      the Menjangan Island dive site
      I went diving with Dive Concepts in Pemuteran to the incredible Menjangan Island dive site. The experience was well-organized, and the team was very helpful and responsive on WhatsApp. To visit Menjangan Island, you’re required to pay a 200k IDR national park permit fee, which wasn’t included in the dive price. The dive center informed us that we’d pay this fee at their location, but the actual park ticket was never shown to us. I found this aspect unprofessional, as paying for a national park permit without receiving any proof raises concerns about where the money is actually going.

      Introductory dive in pulau menjangan
      The experience is great, giving it’s my first dive. Given a brief explanation however the diver is next to me all the time to ensure I am safe while still able to enjoy the dive. A mask is misplaced/lost however upon understanding the situation they didn’t charge us. We are grateful for their understanding. Overall it’s a good experience

      Wonderfull time with Diving Concepts Pemrutean
      Dived for a week with Diving Concepts, Pemruteran in October. What a great all round experience. Wonderful operated dive centre. All thanks to Julian, the dive centre manager and the staff. The dive sites were a joy to dive and the guides, Wayan, Putu and Gede are excellent. Attentative well organise and very knowlegable. A pleasure to enjoy North Bali with them. The associated staff are great. You want for nothing.

      Great snorkeling trip at Menjangan island
      Everything was well organized, with beautiful snorkeling locations like Eel Garden, where we saw turtles and even dolphins. Putu was an excellent guide.

      Poor work ethics and service
      I'll try to make this review as positive and constructive as possible. Both my girl friend and I are Indonesians coming from out of town, we went together to dive with Dive Concepts, initially wanting to do 5 fun dives. On our first day, March 4, 2024, we asked Julien if we could go to Napoleon reef, he said a firm no and recommended Bio Rock (shore dive), which is a manmade coral reef plantation right in front of our hotel, where we planned to snorkel anyway. He insisted the dive site was deeper and that we couldn't snorkel there. We have mentioned earlier that we intended to do a night dive, which we eventually decided not to do since visibility wasn't good at all due to the rain. We learned later on that if we were to do a night dive it would have also been at Bio Rock. We would appreciate being offered to go to other dive sites, which we were willing to pay anyway even if it would cost us more since it requires a 5-minutes boat trip to reach other dive sites in Pemuteran. Before our dive at Bio Rock, our guide Putu didn't brief us about the dive or explained about the dive site (Bio Rock is famous for its solar-powered baby coral planting, we knew this from another guide from another dive centre later on). He went straight to the water, while both of us were still doing buddy checks on the shore. The second we reached the water, he gave us a sign to descend. The next day, we were transported to Menjangan crossing jetty together with 4 other people (2 foreigners & 2 Indonesians), but we didn't go on the same boat as the others, because we wanted to do only 2 dives, instead of 3 dives as the others planned. Apparently, the Indonesians' guide missed the info that his guests wanted to do 3 dives, and so they were short on tanks. The guide decided to take tanks from our boat WITHOUT our consent, and asked us to wait for additional tanks to be delivered from the dive center (20 minutes away), while the other boat left right away. We asked our guide Putu if our tanks were taken, he said no, while the tank count obviously showed that he lied. I asked if he would have done the same thing if both my friend and I were foreigners, he said the other guide did so because he wanted to get his job done earlier. Wow! Putu continued with saying that he was the one who asked for our group to be separated from the foreigners, in fear that the way I dive (he mimicked it by flapping his hands) would bother the foreigners trying to take pictures of the sea creatures. I had to ask him if he was aware of what he was saying and also reminded him that he didn't brief us well the day before. He said that he forgot to brief us and remind us to do buddy checks. WOW! Bli Putu, if you're reading this, thank you for your service, but your work ethics really need to be reviewed. We appreciate the fact that the dive center hired a helper with physical disability at the dive center, who is also super sweet and kind. This is a great example of inclusivity. We eventually did a total of 3 dives and cancelled our intention to do 5 dives and opted to continue our dives with another dive center.

      The experience was amazing but not just because we have seen 5 turtles but also due to my instructor Jesus Gonzalez !! He was really passioned and learnt me so much in just one day. He comunicates his passion with laugh. At first I was a little nervous about diving but with his explications and his serious about safety, I could only enjoy !! Besides this Dive Concepts has a good level on languages (English, French, Spanish, …) so we had a good communication thanks to Julien. I recommend this establishment on 100% !!

      Well organised and safety conscious trip. At all times we were clear what to do and felt supported. And then there the fish and the coral reef. Amazing. I’ve been snorkelling a dozen times in bali but this was the best for variety and quantity of beautiful tropical fish.

      Putu is the greatest divemaster! He spotted many marine lives, frog fish, leaf scorpion fish, sharks, turtles, nudi. We had a very good time diving in Mengjangan as well as in Pemuteran.

      Not very customer oriented
      I cannot rate the diving or trip itself, since the whole interaction with the company in order to organize our trip was very unsatisfying: Questions where answered late, only partially or not at all. With every email I got more and more the feeling that we were bothering them an that they are not interested in having us as guests…so we took our money elsewhere and were vey happy with the service we got there (see my other review for this area).

      An amazing experience
      I would highly recommend this company to do a snorkelling trip. It was a beautiful activity and we will always remeber it. We got a transfer from near Lovina with a private driver and came for the day. It felt very safe and very well organised. Great communication. The lunch was amazing! The equipment was brilliant and fit well. We were able to shower at the shop which was an added bonus for our trip back.

    We did the 3-day Open Water course with David and it was an amazing experience! I'd never tried diving before and it was the perfect intro to diving in one of the most beautiful settings. David was a great instructor - good at explaining things, made us feel very safe the entire time, and we had a lot of fun diving Menjangan Island. Highly recommended experience!

    Visiting from the Philippines where diving is also a common tourist activity, I was surprised that diving in Pemuteran is more affordable, thanks to Dive Concepts. Took the open water course, and they pushed it even though we were only 2 students. Special thanks to our instructor Jesus and his assistant Angy. There were also other places in NOrth Bali where we could take the course, but Pemuteran's inclusion 2 dives in Menjangan National Park was a deal-breaker. The town itself is relaxed and less crowded, making it a perfect place to learn to dive!

    5 days of diving with BIG FUN. The instructors are passioned and professional with diving. It really matters when you are a fresh man and knows nothing about this activity - it helps you to to get a better knowledge with this sport and enjoy the new world.

    The price is reasonable and the training session for Open Water is well organized. And the place is very quite with nice food (nice salade niçoise... a bit more anchor will be even better...)

    Great Job!

    I would really recommend learning to dive with Dive Concepts in Permuteran. My guide for the three day beginner course was David, who was the perfect teacher. I had never dived before and was more nervous than I had realised! Luckily, David put me at ease with his wealth of diving experience and calm demeanour.

    I'm pleased to say I passed the course and saw an absolutely amazing array of wildlife whilst doing so. Thank you David and Dive Concepts!

    Completing our open water course with Dive Concepts was very straightforward from our first contact to receiving the certification. Communication was really good, our instructor was very patient and reassuring, and the diving awesome! For a couple learning something new in our 50s we were well supported and had a great time!

    It was the best experience ever. The guys of Dive Concepts made a deal come true!

    i did an open water course. The guys there explained everything from a to z and made it all so easy! Everything is explained very correct on there website. The SSI program is really well organised. The seconde day, my wife and kid (5y) joined us for snorkeling at menyangan. They arranged we had a boat for the 3 of us + my instructor and a private guide for the snorkeling. A breathtaking experience!!!

    the homestay is very nice as well!

    Special thanks to Taufiq, who was the best instructor and a real friend, he made my dream come true with lots off fun and the best dives! You are the best Taufiq!!!

    thank you so much guys

    Great first diving experience! I did the open water diver course. All of the staff at the dive center is very friendly. Our teacher David was very knowledgeable and explained everything very good. During the dives he made us stay calm and feel comfortable. I loved the divesite at the underwater cave.

    I did the 3 day course to get open water certified. Anyone thinking about going to Bali to get open water certified, this is the place and company to do it with. My instructor was jesús Gonzalez, a delightful man who has a great passion for diving and absolutely loves what he does for a living. I was so welcomed by the staff and I couldn't recommend it enough.
