A Birthday to Remember: Diving with Mantas & Dolphins in Nusa Penida 🔱🌋⁠
⁠
There is no better place to celebrate a 60th birthday than underwater! On May 3rd, we welcomed Jean-François and Monique to Purple Dive for a landmark celebration. We loved surprising Jean-François with a little birthday treat on the boat between dives. 🎁🫧⁠
⁠
The highlight? The incredible marine life! Jean-François took some breathtaking photos of the famous Nusa Penida Manta Rays and playful Dolphins during his trip. 📸💙⁠
⁠
A huge thank you to Jean-François and Monique for trusting the Purple Dive team with this special occasion. We love being part of your diving adventures! 🤙🛶⁠

Did you know Nusa Penida is one of the few places on Earth where you can see Manta Rays all year round? 🌊✨

From the massive Oceanic giants to our friendly resident Reef Mantas, the "Lombok Strait" creates the perfect environment for these incredible animals to feed and clean.

Check out our guide to becoming a Manta expert, and remember: Look, but never touch! 🚫✋

Nothing makes our day more than reading about your experiences under the waves with us. At Purple Dive, we aim to be more than just a dive shop—we want to be your island home and your gateway to the magic of Nusa Penida. 🏝️✨

Ever wondered why the diving in Nusa Penida is so world-class? It’s all about the "Indonesian Throughflow." 🌊

Because we sit right between two massive oceans, our reefs are constantly being "fed" by nutrient-rich currents. This creates a resilient, thriving ecosystem that supports everything from tiny nudibranchs to the legendary Mola Mola.

Yesterday, we left only bubbles behind. 🌊🧤

A massive thank you to everyone who joined our beach clean-up yesterday! From our hardworking IDC candidates to our incredible volunteering guests, the energy was unmatched.

Together, we managed to clear a significant amount of debris from the shoreline here in Nusa Penida. Seeing the community come together—divers and non-divers alike—is exactly why we do what we do. Our mission is to protect the blue, and yesterday was a huge win for the ocean! 🌍💜

Huge shoutout to the May IDC batch for leading the charge. You guys are already proving to be true Ocean Guardians! 🔱✨

Meet the faces of the May 2026 IDC! 🎓🌊

The books are open, the coffee is flowing, and the journey to becoming a PADI Instructor has officially begun. Last week, this crew took their first steps into the world of professional diving here in Nusa Penida.

Over the next two weeks, they’ll be trading "fun dives" for physics, physiology, and perfecting their skills in the water. We are so stoked to have this much passion and energy in the shop!
