Penida Manta Dive

We paid for a snorkeling trip, the trip included one water bottle, food, towel and 3 spots snorkel. They didn’t give us towels, no food, and we just did 1 spot because the trip went wrong… the second spot, there was too much current, the guide didn’t give importance to that, he went to the water the first, don’t waiting anyone! One girl didn’t know to swim (was the first time she was in the sea), one guy just went almost out of the bay because of the current, lucky that another guy(a client, he was a professional surfer) went swimming to where he was and saved him (he was almost against the rocks out the bay), and the other people had to grab to another boat. They didn’t know how to maneuver the boat, the live preserver was not attached to any rope… so many things wrong and didn’t apologise for anything. At least we saw mantas…

Save yourself some time and nerves and pick another dive Center. They charged me an extra 100k IDR only to drop me off at a different dive center. Turned out they hadn’t even asked and there was nothing available for that day. I had already payed the full price so I ended up diving the next day. Which kinda messed up with what I had originally planned. The divecenter they dropped me off at was great though. So if you can, just go to Temple Dive directly.

There are still amazing coral reefs left in the world! Chris and Andreas and Kutat make it safe easy and fun. We booked a second dive for the next day because we had such a great experience. Even the lunch was delicious, and the pickup from the hotel was great. DONT FORGET TO TIP YOUR DIVE MASTER, BOAT CREW AND DRIVER, it won't cost you much and it makes a big difference for them, also, your life is in their hands so... yeah, do it.
