Welcome to Jukung Dive Resort
About Jukung PADI 5 Star Dive Resort
Since 2004, we have helped divers explore the best of Bali, from the USAT Liberty Wreck in Amed to manta encounters and fast drift dives around Nusa Penida. We operate two relaxed resorts so you can stay close to the water, enjoy fun dives, and train on PADI courses from Discover Scuba through to Divemaster. Safety always comes first, with patient guides, small groups, clear briefings, and well maintained boats and rental gear.
In Amed, our Jukung Dive resort sits near calm bays and easy shore reef entries that are perfect for learning, relaxed fun dives, sunrise dives, and night dives. With direct access to the USAT Liberty Wreck, Jemeluk, Bunutan, Seraya Secrets, and more, Amed is ideal for beginners, training courses, and underwater macro photography in a peaceful setting.
In Nusa Penida, our island resort places you close to Manta Point, Crystal Bay, Toyapakeh, SD, and PED, with a beautiful infinity pool overlooking the ocean and Mt.Agung, an in-house Sky Penida Restaurant for sunset dinners, and Sky Penida Spa for relaxing post dive treatments. From warm shallow training sites to big blue days at Manta Point and Crystal Bay, we match each dive day to the conditions and to your experience.
Jukung Dive is a simple idea, stay and dive in Bali with genuine care. We also organise airport pickup/drop and smooth transfers between Amed and Nusa Penida, allowing you to explore our Bali dive packages and combine the best of both locations in one easy plan. Just book your tickets and we organise all the rest for you!

All dives prioritise small groups, clear briefings, and well maintained equipment. Amed is perfectly suited for PADI Discover Scuba Diving, Open Water, and Advanced Open Water training, as well as photographers drawn to black sand critters and gentle conditions.

What Our Divers Have To Say...
EXCELLENT Based on 100 reviews Posted on Ana SuhartiniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My team and I came here for the DSD (Discovery Scuba Diving) program, and it was honestly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Their hospitality is top notch — everyone made me feel at home from the moment I arrived. The only part that felt a bit serious was the paperwork/waiver, almost like taking an exam 😅 but I understand they do it because they take safety very seriously, which I really appreciate. I had my swimming pool session with Gerald, and he was incredibly patient while teaching all the basics of diving. Truly top notch service. On the second day, I went for my open water dive at Manta Point with Jessica, the divemaster. She was calm, patient, and very professional. I even saw manta rays up close — they were massive and absolutely breathtaking. All the staff and crew were friendly, helpful, and super chill. Overall, an amazing team and an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!Posted on Trevor GordonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The staff we’re extremely accommodating and amazing during our stay! We went diving with them. They setup a snorkel day to see mantas. We rented scooters from them. They we’re awesome!! Resort was quite new. We didn’t like that the shower sprayed everywhere in the bathroom with no separation. The resort was quite dead while we were there. If you’re into relaxation then this could be a nice place. We wanted more lively action. The laundry at the resort is done per item instead of per weight, which was weird. There’s an awesome view from the pool and resort.Posted on Javi Escobar NiedermayrTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Muy lindo lugar. Buenas clases de diving. Saque acá el open water certificate y el lugar es preciosoPosted on Valentin GeorgetTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an amazing stay at this resort in Nusa Penida! The staff were absolutely incredible whether at the bar, reception, or on the diving team, everyone was so friendly and always wore a smile. The rooms were spacious, quiet, and offered a breathtaking sunrise view right from the window. The food was outstanding (honestly the best I’ve had on the island) and the sunset point was such a cool spot to relax in the evenings. Diving with the resort was unforgettable! I even had the chance to see a mola mola! I felt completely safe and comfortable with the dive master the whole time. Overall, this place is a true gem. I would recommend it 10/10 and will definitely be coming back!Posted on Svetlana VerlokaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The perfect place for those visiting Penida to dive and looking for a quiet spot to relax before waking up early for the next adventure 👍🏼 And big thanks to the whole team, and especially to Ivan, the manager, for our lovely chats and fun jokes 🫶🏼 I warmly recommend itPosted on Naomi WTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I stayed at Jukung Dive Resort for 4 days including 3 days of diving with them. The service at the hotel was amazing, as was the dive team. Special thanks to Apli and Gerard, my dive instructors who were both absolutely great! It has a great tranquil location on a hill. Views from the restaurant and pool area are beautiful, especially sunsets. Sunrise was beautiful from my balcony. The room was nice and clean. They arranged for transfers to and from the port, had a scooter rental for getting around the island and were super helpful for me as a solo traveller. Would highly recommend.Posted on Luis AlbertoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fiquei hospedado aqui por dois dias e tudo me pareceu excelente. O hotel é novo, os apartamentos são modernos e muito confortáveis. As pessoas que trabalham aqui estão sempre prontas a ajudar, sempre corteses e gentis. A comida é deliciosa e a operação de mergulho é de altíssima qualidade. Recomendo este local sem nenhuma hesitação. Gostei muito da experiência e espero retornar em breve.Posted on Véro CarbonnelleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nous avons passé une semaine fantastique! Un grand merci à Richard et Iwan pour leur disponibilité et leur humour ainsi qu'à Apli notre moniteur de plongée avec qui nous avons fait de magnifiques découvertes sous-marines ! Le lieu est calme, ressourçant, offrant une magnifique vue sur la mer et l'île de Bali. En plongée, Manta point est un lieu très prisé, magnifique à découvrir mais qui a aussi ses courants et heureusement l'équipe vérifie chaque jour s'il est sécurisant ou non d'y aller. Dans le cas où nous ne pouvons nous y rendre, ils connaissent les recoins de l'île et nous ont toujours proposé d'autres lieux superbes à explorer.

• Long-term DAN insurance is recommended for certified divers and those who dive regularly. This option provides annual coverage for divers who plan to dive throughout the year.
• Short-term DAN insurance is designed for holiday and first-time divers, including Discovery Scuba Diving experiences. This option provides temporary coverage for the duration of your trip.
