If you are looking to dive in Bali. Look no further! - Amazing experience from top to bottom. The dive center was immaculate and the process was professional, thorough and super friendly. The staff understands customer service and expertly serves their customers. They anticipated my needs at every turn, offered a sea sickness pill at the outset to ensure a smooth experience at sea. The onboarding questions prompted a pool refresher as I hadn’t dived in a year. The dive instructor assigned to me was phenomenal. He is everything you ever want in a dive instructor, especially when you are shaky in your skills and are diving a new territory (continent.) he was humorous but stern in the matters that matter. He also handled the go pro and got some amazing videos of large Manta, sea turtles, coral, and many other amazing sea life. He also made sure to point me in the right direction for some memorable experiences and snapped some picture frame worthy shots. Thank you Neptune! I will be back!

Wonderful overall experience - Snorkelling with the mantas was incredible and the diving at the other spots were some of the most beautiful dives we’ve ever done. Neptune dive equipment was in superb condition, the staff were amazing- friendly, professional and fun. We would highly recommend using them!

Exemplary professional and experienced tour - Neptune diving provided the most professional, well organised and hospitable day tour. I booked the 3 dive intro dive tour, the day prior. Neptune was in contact within minutes of booking to confirm and adjust the itinerary and logistics to accommodate our level of experience and transport and timeline accordingly. We were picked up from out hotel on time, had 2 excellent dive instructors that stayed with myself and my partner for the whole day. The pool training was precise, clear and instilled confidence and rapport between us and our dive instructors. An hour of training done, we were down to the beach and onto a boat which accommodated 2 other booked divers (4) total and our Neptune Dive instructors. We were also given sea sickness pills early in the day if we wished which was such a relief and testament to the company's experience and readiness. All 3 dives were incredible. We were fortunate to be swarmed by 6-10 manta rays at Manta Point, beautiful corals and schools of fish at Crystal Bay and then a unique drift dive up at Mangrove point where we even saw turtles. Overall the day was efficient yet not rushed. The instructors/buddies were friendly, well-skilled and full of interesting information and guidance. They even gave feedback on my dive techniques and which made every dive spot better than the last. I cannot fault Neptune in any way and the price doesn't even come to mind when you get an experience like this. Worth every single cent and I'd book again with Neptune without hesitation!

Amazing diving experience and friendly staff - The staff at Neptune were very attentive in getting everything booked and answering all of my questions prior to our dive. Our dive guide Gude was great and really kept a close eye on my girlfriend who is new to diving and made her feel very safe. We saw lots of Mantas and an incredible amount of corals and diversity of fish on the drift dive. The lunch was also very tasty. Amazing experience! Thank you

Pleasant dive experience - 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.

Excellent dive company! - Great company, great trip. We booked this off a cruise ship and Yoga was great with communication. He answered all our questions promptly and designed the perfect day for us. From the second Neptune divers picked us up everything was top notch. The company had all our equipment in bags labeled with our names. Their equipment is top of the line and they made sure everything fit and that we had everything before we headed to the boat. There were 7 divers and 4 crew plus the Captain. The boat had plenty of room and they had all our equipment set up. They also prepared us for a bumpy ride and offered us sea sick pills before we left the shop. We did 3 dives and they were all spectacular and yes we did see mantas. It is hard to stay in a group for the manta dive since it is so popular but the crew did a good job keeping up with us. The second dive was in a cove so much smoother but still perfect and healthy reef, tons of fish and lots of my favorite, clown fish. They had packed us a lunch (we picked what we wanted from their selection) and it was excellent and it really hit the spot. The 3rd dive was a drift dive and again tons of fish and coral. The crew did all the work setting up gear which is good for me since I am prone to motion sickness. I felt very safe with Neptune divers and highly recommend. It was probably some of the best diving ever and a great company. Hoping to go back to Bali and spend more time diving and will defiantly use Neptune divers. Thank you to Yoga and the excellent crew.

Would always recommend Neptune dive shop to anyone! - Neptune dive shop is truly a well run company. Their dive equipments were all top notch. Noé Our dive instructor was a terrific guide. All instructions prior to dive were very clear. The coconut water between dive was also well prepared for us. Lunch special green rice and egg was also very tasty. The fruit plate was also a good touch ( gets rid of the salt mouth feel). Our dive buddies from the dive was on her 3rd day of diving. The Neptune dive shop was super clean. The facility lavatory was also very clean as well as their shower stalls. We would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to do 3 dives in a day (this was our pick).
