Padang Bai is a port town on Bali's east coast that offers some of the island's most accessible and rewarding diving. The famous Blue Lagoon site features a gentle coral slope teeming with tropical fish, making it perfect for beginners and underwater photography. Nearby sites like Tanjung Jepun and The Jetty offer more challenging dives with walls, overhangs, and pelagic encounters. Padang Bai is also the departure point for boats to Nusa Penida and Nusa Lembongan, making it a versatile base for exploring multiple dive areas.
Our Padang Bai day trips depart from Canggu or your Bali accommodation and take approximately 1.5 hours to reach the harbor. We typically include 2-3 dives across different sites: the beginner-friendly Blue Lagoon, the more advanced coral walls at Tanjung Jepun, and sometimes The Jetty or other sites based on group experience and conditions.
