Padi Open Water Course

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.

We visited Bali from New York. My wife and I did the Open Water Course with Julian and the Neptune Scuba team in July 2023 and it was a fantastic experience! Our dive master Gede Ariawan was kind, personal, passionate, and knew exactly how to get us comfortable with the water! We successfully received our Open Water certifications and even saw Manta Rays during the trip. Highly recommend these guys and would look forward to visiting again! What made this special was that Gede and the Neptune team was extra careful about making sure that my wife, who only learned to swim 1 month prior, was comfortable each step of the way... Eg., needed to get familiar with swimming before donning the BCD, get familiar with operating scuba equipment before open water dives, etc. I was especially impressed that Gede was very hands on and made sure that we were comfortable every step of the way. He also knew different exercises and strategies to deal with any road bumps we had during the process.

We had our 15 year old son do his Open water course over the last few days and i would highly recommend Neptune Dive center. Gede was the instructor and his was amazingly patient and through with their training. The dive center facilities and arrangements are extremely good and professional with prompt replies from Naomi managing all the arrangements.

Great instructor, great time and nice centre. Highly recommend this place. I had mully teach me and help fix my buoyancy control

I did my AOW course with Neptune and a few fun dives in Tulamben and Nusa Penida. It was definitely the right choice to choose Neptune in Bali. Their service was great and attentive, logistic arrangement was smooth for all three days; my coach Eddie was experienced and professional - knowing where exactly I should learn & practice and where the gun was underwater. I highly recommend Neptune to anyone who is looking for a PADI course or for fun dives in Bali.

Neptune Scuba Diving is a fantastic centre to do your Padi Open water course. We booked while in the UK and did our theory online using the PADI website before we travelled. This works well because it gives you the maximum time in the water when you arrive. Communication with the centre was excellent from the start & when we arrived we were greeted to a warm & friendly welcome. The centre is clean & modern with brilliant facilities and equipment. Our teacher Gede was amazing! 🤩 he is very experienced and was kind and patient with us. We had a days training in their great 3m deep pool before being taken to Tulamben & Padangbai for 4 sea dives over 2 days. The whole experience was just magical, I felt safe under Gede’s expert guidance and we saw so many amazing creatures like turtles, stingrays, morey eels, lion fish, stunning coral and more. I was very sad to leave when it was all over as it was truest the highlight of our 2 week holiday in Bali. I would not hesitate to recommend this centre to anyone wanting to try scuba diving or to do a PADI course whilst in Bali. Hopefully see you all again soon 🥰

Going in completely new to scuba diving (and not even much experience swimming), I was a little worried about keeping up. The instructor, Gede, was amazing and very patient with me and my dive buddy that I was paired up with as a solo traveler. It quickly became apparent that Gede really knew his stuff and without even needing to say anything, demonstrated to us how much we had left to learn and practice after the course. As well, Naomi was amazing at keeping up with communications on the office/travel side of things. Overall, a great, very professional experience!

Would highly recommend this company if you are planning on doing your PADI. The staff were so helpful and kind ! They really made my time and experience one of a kind.

One of my dream come true, I’m a certified diver now. Thank you for your support and well organizing the journey to open water certification. The dive locations were perfect and I had a chance to get to know Bali island better. The instructor was highly experienced and definitely know how to teach his subject. If you are looking the place for getting the certificate or one day dive I would undoubtedly recommend Neptune Scuba Diving

We had a great time on the PADI OW course with the Neptune Diving Center! Many thanks to our instructor, Muli,who always encouraged us, especially me, because I am even not a good swimmer! He was very patient, and explained the important skills over and over and made sure we all got it and could repeat correctly by ourselves! He was also humorous and always made us laugh! The Neptune Diving Center is very professional too! Their colleagues were very nice and always arranged everything smoothly! Hope we can come back soon, and definitely, the Neptune Diving Center is our first choice!

I was recommended by my worse half who did his OW and AOW with Neptune. It was my first scuba diving ever, was a bit nervous at the 1st dive. Especially diving seems so natural to most divers when you look around the beaches. But if you are a bit timid like me, going with Neptune helps. With their clear instructions plus some pep talks, it is easier to leave the fear behind and start enjoying the beauty underwater. Good food & coffee, good instructors, great customer service ;)

Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely consider coming back for AOW or other fun dives. Highly recommended! 1. Great planning and guiding Joe was my point of contact in diving school. She was really patient and detailed. I asked ton of questions regarding the diving trips. She helped to every detail, including recommending restaurants and help plan out the best plan for my personal schedule. 2. Patient teaching and fun learning Piyo and Echo were my teacher and assistant. They were super fun and passionate. I enjoyed every moment with them. They helped me out patiently throughout and I feel really safe during underwater.

This is a super late review. Did my PADI OW course with Neptune, my instructor was Dhika. He was excellent, great at teaching even more fun to hang out with. The staff were friendly; courteous and attentive. The dive shop its self is very relaxing and nicely set up with that resort feel which makes you instantly slow down as soon as you walk in. Oh, there were lots of cute cats to stroke too. Bonus point if you were a cat person. Whilst I was there, there were bbq, birthday and diving master graduation celebrations too, I really enjoyed my visit. Successfully obtained my first ever PADI license too in case you were wondering :) Recommend it!

Incredibly nice guys. Due to my own fault and bad planning couldn't complete course and they were beyond understanding.

Through the recommended, veritable Bali First Dive Shop! Cow and aow for a few days, saw wrecks, devilfish, and various styles of coral. Joe was especially nice, always concerned about our diving, helped us take photos, recommended good places to eat and play in Bali, and booked us!! Summer and Muly are super responsible and funny and have always looked after us underwater. The highlight is Noé! I've been quietly teaching assistant for the last few days, and the photos, videos, and clips for the last two days have really been amazing!! It's said to be the first edit! 👏👏👏 👏 In short, it's highly recommended!!
