We ensure small groups when fun diving, flexibility with your diving schedule and above all, a great sense of fun and enjoyment. We also have an active commitment to the environment and support environmentally friendly dive practices. From try dives to Divemaster programmes, we teach the full range of PADI dive courses and offer the professionalism and quality you deserve. The diving around the Nusa Penida Marina protected area couldn't be healthier, with flourishing vibrant corals and abundant fish life. We are also blessed with year round Manta Ray sightings and the magnificent Oceanic Sunfish from July - October. We also offer budget accommodation at the Secret Garden Bungalows and daily Yoga classes. « less

My friend and i did our AOW course at Big Fish and the experience was great. Our instructor Matt Wilson was extremely good, professional and a lot of fun. So were the other instructors and DMs. The quality of gear and boats was top notch. I felt comfortable and safe and my diving has gone up a notch thanks to... More

My husband and I recently returned from a week at Secret Garden where we completed our Open Water Diving with Big Fish. We are both in our fifties and were obviously very inexperienced, but the staff were all amazing and looked after us so well. I cannot recommend them highly enough and have already told all our friends and relatives... More

The diving was superb, great reefs some of the best i have seen, great wall dives, Mantas, sharks, you name it we saw it. Combine with this diving the great service and atmosphere at Big Fish and it... More

My and my wife are both experienced diving professional and I suggest everybody Big Fish Diving centre. We did about 15 dives with them and almost never repeated the same dive spot. Always small groups, no dive time limits (like 45 minutes dives...), they take care of all your gears, comfortable boat, very kindly staff and I could add much... More

I have been diving for 15 years and this was by far the worst and most dangerous dive experience of my life. These guys are the least enthusiastic and unprofessional outfit i have ever dove with. Our so called dive master was so busy taking photos that she never looked around to check on the people she was responsible for.... More

It is always disappointing when the first we hear of a customer complaint is on Trip Advisor, rather than being allowed the opportunity to respond at the time of the problem. On the day in question, we had a freelance Divemaster working for us, who has also worked for a few other dive centres on the island. It is so... More

We recently (i.e. this morning!) returned home from a 16 day trip to Indonesia, and for us, Big Fish Diving/Secret Garden Bungalows was the highlight. We enjoyed every aspect of the place so much, that we have put it as the #1 item on our itinery when we visit Indonesia again in the near future. The bungalows are very affordable... More

Very nice place to stay with clean bright rooms and a good dive shop run by a friendly English couple. One of the things I liked was how we were greeted like old friends when we arrived and made to feel very welcome. There was a Yoga class in the afternoon and the breakfasts made were delicious. There are numerous... More

I have nothing but good things to say about my experience at Big Fish. The accommodation at Secret Garden was fantastic, the food was great, and the dive instruction was the best. Chris was very patient and got me through the course even when I was freaking out. It was really easy to stay there and I wish it could... More

I went to Nusa Lembongan for a short break with my partner and as a keen diver I was interested in doing some fun dives or a course. Having never been before I didn't know much about the diving or the providers. On arrival the weather was quite foul and I was a little unsure so I hired a scooter... More

Kudos to Tim and Reece for running such a professional and client focused dive operation. I can heartily recommend this dive company to others, advanced divers in particular. I have been diving for 25 years and really loved the attention they gave to putting together a dive program that matched my tastes in diving. I was especially lucky that it... More
