Course overview

Explore Nusa Penida's reefs from the surface with the SSI Snorkelling programme, a guided introduction to the underwater world with no diving experience needed. From the surface you can drift over coral gardens full of tropical fish and, with luck, watch mantas glide below at Manta Bay. It is a good way for non-divers and families to share in Nusa Penida's marine life.

The SSI Snorkelling pathway

SSI Snorkelling is a guided surface programme rather than a scuba certification, suited to non-divers, families and anyone testing the water before a Try Scuba experience. It is recorded in your free SSI digital account.

Where you'll dive in Nusa Penida

Snorkelling explores Nusa Penida's accessible surface reefs and manta zones such as Manta Bay, where current-aware guiding keeps you safe over the coral. The April-to-November dry season has the calmest, clearest water for snorkelling.
