2-Day Certified Dives in Nusa Lembongan: Swim with Mola Mola

Five dives across Manta Bay, Crystal Bay and the mangrove, with manta rays and sunfish in the frame.

A 2-day certified diving activity in Nusa Lembongan where you explore five dive sites with an instructor guide, full equipment and wetsuit provided. You'll navigate Manta Bay, Crystal Bay, the island's mangrove and macro spots, with a real chance to swim alongside manta rays and Mola Mola (sunfish). The activity is for certified divers only. If your last dive was more than a year ago, a refresher session with an instructor is available.

The experience

You need a current diving certification to book this package. Your last dive should be within the past year, though the dive center offers a refresher session if you've been away from the water longer. The two days are structured around five dives across different sites, each chosen for what lives there and what the seabed holds. Manta Bay and Crystal Bay are the headline stops, but the itinerary also works in the mangrove, macro spots and two shipwrecks scattered around Lembongan. An instructor dives with you throughout, sharing the area's geography and habits so you spend less time searching and more time watching.

All equipment is included (mask, snorkel, fins, buoyancy control jacket, regulator and the rest) along with a wetsuit and weight belt. The dive center provides facilities between dives: WiFi, toilet, shower, locker and a change room. You can book accommodation at the center itself if you need it, choosing between dormitory or bungalow options. Digital photos and videos of your dives are available to purchase as a souvenir. The five dives must be completed within a week of your start date.

What are Mola Mola and will I definitely see them?

Mola Mola is the local name for sunfish, a large ocean fish that drifts through Lembongan's waters. The itinerary is designed to give you the best chance of encountering them along with manta rays, but sightings depend on seasonal presence and conditions on the day.

Do I need to bring my own diving gear or is everything provided?

Everything is provided: mask, snorkel, fins, buoyancy control jacket, regulator, wetsuit and weight belt. You only need to bring your certification card and a moderate level of physical fitness.

Can I stay near the dive center between the two days?

Yes, the dive center offers accommodation options: dormitory and bungalow rooms are available. You can book these when you reserve your dives, and they're convenient if you want to rest between days without traveling back to your hotel.

How long does each dive last and what's the schedule like?

The package spans two days with five dives total, though the exact timing of each dive and surface intervals between them depends on the sites visited and conditions. The dive center will confirm the daily schedule when you arrive.
