Why Dive in Southeast Lombok?

The dive sites around Kuta Lombok are known for their diversity and adventure. Depending on the site and season, divers can encounter reef sharks, turtles, schools of tunas, and even thresher sharks in deeper waters. Strong currents in certain areas create nutrient-rich conditions, attracting large fish and making Southeast Lombok a favorite for experienced divers.

At the same time, there are also sheltered dive sites with calm conditions that are perfect for beginners, Discover Scuba Diving experiences, and PADI Open Water courses.

Highlights of diving in Kuta Lombok:

Healthy coral reefs and vibrant marine life
Fewer crowds than Bali and the Gili Islands
Exciting drift dives and deep-water sites
Year-round diving opportunities
Unique pelagic encounters in Southeast Lombok

I did a Discover Scuba course with Blue Marlin and had the absolute best experience. Our instructor Sandra was such a gem, super patient and made sure we felt comfortable and safe the whole trip. The lunch prepared by the team was so delicious, I could have eaten two portions 🤤 I only wish I had more time this trip to do my OWC. Thanks to Sandra and the boat captain and crew for making our day memorable!

My partner and I have just completed our Emergency first responder (EFR) and rescue diver course with Louis - he will keep you on your toes but also make sure you are clear on the instructions and steps for each rescue procedure that you have to simulate in the pool and open water. While it is a gruelling 3-day course, he made it extremely fun and memorable for us and we couldn’t be happier . He’s such a bubbly and jovial person and dedicated dive instructor especially for the courses. Very knowledgeable and will answer all your questions mindfully.

We had a great time on our recreational dive day. Three total dives with Imran. He took good care of us, and I always felt like safety was a top priority. I appreciated that the groups were small and matched by experience. There were four of us in my group and all early in our dive experiences. All the guides provided thorough briefings on the dive plan each time. The boat crew was also very kind and helpful. Plenty of snacks, lunch, and drinks. Transparent pricing at the shop, and knowledgeable and accomplished staff.
Imran even took pictures of us underwater and shared them. That was a surprise treat :)

We did 2 fun dives today with Blue Marlin and our guide Kray! And it was fantastic! It was our first dive since our Open Water and I was a little nervous but they made it easy-peasy for us! The crew on the boat was amazing as well as the dive guides. Very relaxed vibes and just diving and chilling on the boat in the sun in paradise. We were stunned by the corals and saw some pretty cool fish/marine life. The snacks and lunch was also very good ;). Thank you so much Blue Marlin for an amazing day and experience!!!!! I am not insecure anymore to go diving again and can't wait to do so 🙏

I completed my Open Water Diver course with Blue Marlin in Lombok, and I couldn't have imagined a better place. The entire team is not only extremely competent, but also super friendly and always helpful. Our instructor, Emma, with her positive and engaging demeanor, calmed any fears of the first dives from the very beginning and immediately passed on her enthusiasm for diving and the numerous marine creatures to her students. Emma is exactly the kind of instructor you'd hope for. Thank you, Emma and Blue Marlin, for igniting my love for the underwater world!

Did my Open Water course there. It was one of the best things I did in my life. All the staff is very kind. My instructor, Phil, explained things better then university professor and I never felt in danger while underwater. Highly recommended!!!
