Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

We've been using Sea Rovers for over 10yrs, since they were first based in a local hotel. My husband will dive virtually every day, whilst I snorkel in Menjangen every few days. Great dive guides Wayan and Edi (who found 2 pygmy seahorses this trip) and snorkel guide Toni is fast becoming a champion turtle spotter. Ditta and Dian take great care of everyone in the shop, as do Nista and Sahari on the boats. Along with boss Paul, they all make us feel like we are coming home each time we return to Pemuteran. Looking forward to the next trip

My husband and I learned to dive with Sea Rovers in 2019, and we finally returned to diving at Pemuteran again last month. The service provided by Sea Rovers was fantastic, just as we expected. The team at Sea Rovers are relaxed and friendly. The small group size meant plenty of time to prepare without pressure, and the diving was mainly slow drift dives. No matter the crew, they were ready to assist in making your diving easy and enjoyable.

This dive center is a gem. The service is excellent, staff is very nice and welcoming, everything is very well organized and flexible at the same time! And: Very small groups, often it has just been me with the guide or 1 or 2 other divers.
I dived with them for 4 days, 2 days local in Pemuteran and 2 days in Menjangan Island. All my 9 dives have been amazing, especially Eel Garden at Menjangan and the night dive.
I highly recommend Sea Rovers, for beginners and more experienced divers alike. They took really good care of everyone!
Thanks to Christian, Toni, Wayan, Paul and the whole team. I will be back!

Spent a week in Pemuteran and diving with Sea Rovers. Ditta went above & beyond to assist me and the dive guide Edy and boat driver KD were first class. Could not recommend these guys more highly. They’re simply fantastic. BTW, Menjangan Island is a must do dive location, shone on every diver’s bucket list.

I can’t say enough about this dive outfit. It’s relaxed and homey but their crew is excellent and take great care of you. Eddy was a safe, easy going diver who made me feel very comfortable and made sure I was taken care of. Being a solo diver it’s so important to choose a reputable place. I’d go back in a heartbeat. Menjangen island is a treat! Saw octopus, turtles, black tip sharks and an Itty bitty seahorse. The coral is so pristine too. Dive North Bali, so worth it! Don’t forget to tip your guys, they work hard to make your experience a joy.

My family and I have done extensive traveling and we've snorkeled many places - the Great Barrier Reef, Belize, the Virgin Islands, etc. I can say without hesitation that our experience with Sea Rovers was among the very best. Director Paul Turley made sure that all our needs were met, his staff was wonderful, and our snorkeling trip to Menjangan Island was spectacular.

Our dive trip to Pemuteran on May 16 was our fourth to this area and our third with Sea Rovers (in my last Sea Rovers review I called that the fourth time with Sea Rovers because I'd forgotten that the first time we went there we used dive safari guides from Sanur who were competent enough but didn't really know the territory).
And we like to start Bali dive trips in Pemuteran because dive conditions there are easier than Tulamben, which we usually go to after a week in Pemuteran. After a year of not diving, Pemuteran’s sandy beaches and relatively still waters let us ease back into diving better than stumbling over Tulamben’s rocky entries.
It’s especially easy because we have Sea Rovers in Pemuteran. Over the last half decade we've gotten to know Sea Rovers' staff and its owner Paul Turley, an expat Brit who has lived in Indonesia for 17 years. All his dive guides are locals who grew up in the Pemuteran area. They won't rip apart the reef digging out critters for you to see/photograph but they'll show you everything that can be seen "non-destructively."
My headline talked about the boats. This really matters in Pemuteran, because most good dive sites are 5-10 minutes' ride out even in a fast boat--and Menjangan Island is about half an hour out. Menjangan's walls are, arguably, the prettiest underwater landscapes around Bali.
With Sea Rovers you get there on the wings of a pair of 115 hp. Evinrude outboards, blasting by most of the other Menjangan-bound boats put-putting along. And all Sea Rovers boats have dual outboards plus a complete DAN emergency kit on board, with a side-mounted ladder that keeps you away from the props. I like having those extra safety measures, along with a full-length awning that pale-skinned people like me really need in the tropics.
Sea Rovers will do more if you want, but their normal schedule is two dives a day. My normal schedule used to be five dives a day on a liveaboard, but now Sea Rovers' relaxed approach--both above and below the surface--suits me just fine. They treat you as if you're on vacation and diving for fun. Same goes for snorkelers.
For shore diving, Sea Rovers can take you to the pier just east of their location, to the muck diving in bay in front of them, or to the artificial reef structures just west. Visibility isn't great but there's lots to see--especially with dive guides pointing out critters you might not notice on your own, like the crabs that conceal themselves below upside-down jellyfish they hold on their backs.
There's a lot of trash in the bay close to shore (not farther out), but ironically the fish and critters love the trash, using it for hiding places. If you cleared out the trash there'd be a lot less sea life there to look at.
For the locations requiring a boat, leave it up to Sea Rovers to pick the sites; they'll know which have the best conditions that day and hour. That said, we especially like the coral bommie site, which has an interesting artificial coral-growing structure next to it. The size of the bommie lets you do your safety stop on its top.
Besides Menjangan, another site outside the bay is Secret Bay, a shallow shore-diving spot you get to by van, about a 20 minute drive away. This site has rinse tanks, showers and toilets. It's a flat-bottomed bay covered with algae and seagrass, with all sorts of critters in the muck. But it's also 71 degrees Fahrenheit usually--5mm full suit with hood a necessity. I add a 2mm vest so I don't get cold on the second dive.
We always bring our own gear but others who've come with us have said Sea Rover's rental gear is good quality and properly maintained, though you get dive gauges and not a computer. They also have camera rentals.
After the dive you can kick back in the lounge area of the dive shop. Paul Turley hails from Newcastle, England, making him a Geordie. Ask him to say something in Geordie sometime. It would need subtitles for most non-Geordies.
On this trip we brought with us a pair of veteran divers/underwater photographers, and they liked diving with Sea Rovers as much as the newbies did on other trips. Photographers want to dive in small groups and not be rushed--Sea Rovers provides both, as well as proper handling for expensive camera gear on both boat and shore dives.
Another Pemuteran review talked about how only Reef Seen--the first dive shop there--has done anything to restore the reefs in the area. Reef Seen deserves credit for its contributions, but many other operators--very much including Sea Rovers--do their part as well (just with less fanfare). Critical to a dive shop contributing to its area’s reefs and wildlife is training and managing the dive guides to treat the reefs sustainably, and help us divers to do so too. Too many times I've seen dive guides abusing reefs and critters on behalf of their clients (often to the horror of those clients, actually). Proper training of staff isn't flashy and gets no headlines, but it's the foundation of eco-friendly diving operations.
Good dive operations have a family feel to them, with little staff turnover. In Sea Rovers' case, this is not only true, but the shop's vivacious manager, Dita, is Paul's sister in law. And we see the same dive guides over the years, with one exception: Made, who left to run a competing dive operation on the same premises.
This is unique in my experience: two full-service dive shops in the same resort (Adi Assri). Sea Rovers was there before Adi Assri existed, actually. When we first checked out Sea Rovers, it was up and running while the resort was nothing but a construction shack by the highway.
Now Adi Assri's owner has used Sea Rovers' former lead dive guide to replicate Sea Rovers' organization and practices as much as he was able to. Why? My guess is that the owner saw how profitable Sea Rovers' is and wanted all the profits for himself. Sea Rovers has a contract for the next three years, but contracts are for the Little People, right?
So if you ask the Adi Assri front desk about Sea Rovers, they tell you it's out of business, and direct you to their new shop. The map of the resort has the spot Sea Rovers occupies blacked out. They even moved the restaurant to the other side of the complex so guests wouldn't see the shop. Plus some other dirty tricks I heard about but didn't see personally.
If it were only a matter of dollars and cents, Adi Assri's owner would just wait out Sea Rovers' contract. I can't help think that the owner's shenanigans are costing him a lot more than any profits he'll get from his new, competing dive shop that he had to pay to build, when if he'd waited he could have simply taken over Sea Rovers' facilities when the contract ran out.
Whatever happens, Sea Rovers will endure--obviously in a new location at some point--and its loyal customers will dive with them when they're in Pemuteran.
Meanwhile there's nothing stopping you from staying with Adi Assri when you dive with Sea Rovers. Just use Booking.com for the best prices. But when we return we'll stay somewhere else, such as Man's Cottages and Spa next door, and just walk through Adi Assri's grounds to get to Sea Rovers. We stayed at Adi Assri this time because we didn't know what was going on before we got there, but frankly Adi Assri wasn't designed as a dive resort anyway (see my review of it). It's passable, but when we moved on to Tulamben and stayed at Liberty Dive Resort, we saw what a real dive resort is like (as my review of that place details).
Loyalty has its limits. If Sea Rovers wasn't such a good dive operation I still wouldn't patronize Adi Assri, but there are plenty of other dive operations in Pemuteran that we could use. We keep going back there because we enjoy diving with them (and hanging out with them) and feel safe doing so--which becomes more important to me as I grow older.
It takes us about 29 hours best case to get from our front door to Sea Rovers--about 4x what it would take us to get to diving in Hawaii or Baja, and roughly twice what many Caribbean locales take. That puts a metric on what we think of Bali/Pemuturan/Sea Rovers for scuba diving.

The guys from SR are all really nice, we had a nice day, with 3 amazing snorkel, good lunch, fruits, water and soft drinks, but no one told us that the sea is full of sea lice, and we got hundreds of spot in all parts of the body!!
And of one week of itchy and scratchy!! Pretty annoying for an holiday!!
We could use a wetsuit or some lotion for avoid that, if someone was a bit cleaver to say anything.
The island and the area is full of rubbish, flooding plastic, and any other of waste stuff.
It's really a shame.

Hi Paul,
I hope you’re travelling better in beautiful Pemuteran than we are in smokey old Australia.
We’re looking at coming to Pemuteran in Mid- February, my partner and I, to do a open dive course, but we’re a bit worried about the weather and sea conditions at this time of year.
We’ve been to Pemuteran twice before in April and May and have loved snorkelling on Menjangan, but we’re worried about rough seas and the rubbish in February. Everything you read sounds desperately dire.
We’re not precious people, were very down to earth, but we’re not real flush either so we want to make sure we’re going to have a good experience before we hand over all our rare coin for our once a year holiday. We also don’t want to tarnish our magic memories of Menjangan if the water is going to be full of plastic. I know that means we’ll be putting our head in the sand a bit, but with our whole country on fire, it’s nice to imagine some parts of the world are still as beautiful as Menjangan was when last we saw it.
Can you please tell us truthfully what the waters are like at this time of year?
Thankyou. Look forward to your hopefully witty reply ;)
Lily.
Written 10 January 2020
The north can experience poor weather at that time of the year but, like all times of the year, it’s unpredictable. One thing I know for sure is the guys at Sea Rovers won’t take you out unless they are sure you’ll get a good dive. I would wait for their response and have confidence in their advice.

Hi,
We would like to go the Menjangan Island for Snorkeling.
Could you please inform me about the price for 2 people and also if we need to book our tour earlier or by email ?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,

Ahoy There Nat!
Menjangan Island--Trips leave from the beach at 08.30 and take about 25mins to get to the island. Because we have our own private speedboats (fast and comfortable), we are free to choose the best locations based on the conditions and presence of other boats (don't want you to be crowded by a bunch of others). You'll usually spend about an hour at one location, take a break (hopefully on the island, sometimes on the boat depending on conditions). Break is approximately 60-90 minutes, with light lunch & soft drinks. You can also snorkel from the beach if we are tied ashore. After that, you move to the next location for another hour before returning to Pemuteran, usually back around 13-14.00. Light lunch, soft drinks, equipment and boat fees are included.
*The National Park (Menjangan Island) requires an additional entrance fee of 200,000Rps per person (300,000Rps on Sunday, National holidays). Kids 5yrs and under are exempt of the entry fee. These additional fees are payable on-site.
Pemuteran Reefs are much closer (only 3-5 minute with our boats). The local trips run at 09.00 and 13.00. We go out for an hour and then come back to the hotel.
Package price for the 2 of you would be
1 day, Menjangan Island 1,100,000Rps + entry fees (includes equipment, lunch, soft drinks and tax)
1 trip, Pemuteran Reefs 400,000Rps (includes equipment, coffee/tea and tax)
So, let me know what you think, best to confirm latest a day before as we need to organise lunchbox etc. Us our contact form on the website or call the number below..

Hi Paul
We are hoping to visit the north of the island this November and then move onto Tulamben. We would be arriving approx Tues 31 October 2017. Staying 9 nights. We are hoping to do 3-4 days diving (We are both Padi Advanced with 500+ dives)...We have seen your pricing. I have a few questions:
1. Are you based at Adi Assri Beach Resort?
2. Is there beach diving in front of the hotel?
3. If diving in front, can we just hire equipment and go in? (we do this all time at Matahari)
4. How large are your boats that go over to the island?
5. How many do they hold?
6. Is it snorkelers and divers mixed together?
7. Is there a toilet on board the boat?
8. What are the hire costs for demand valve and BCD?
9. How much would it cost for a taxi transfer to Matahari in Tulamben?
Sorry about all the questions and look forward to hearing from you.
Regards Chris and Keith

Ahoy there Mateys!
No problem to answer your questions.
1: We moved out of the Adi Assri in June last year into our own purpose built office. We are now only 300mtrs down the road next to the Amerta Villa. Easy to find.
We do however still leave from the same beach as always and will pick you up from the beach in the mornings for all activities.
2; Yes. Mucky Pirates Bay is off the beach at the Adi Assri, best side being the jetty from where our boats leave. Be warne, lots of muck, but also critters.
3;Yes you can dive with or without a guide. But because our office is no longer inside, we'd have to coordinate bring the gear down and back.
4; two large boats are 8.5 x 2.4mtrs, purpose built speedboats, there are vids on youtube.
5; Both registered for 11 passengers
6; No descrimination on our vessels, Snorkellers are people too.
7; Nope, boats are fast and open, trips times are short so usually not an issue.
8; Full set of equipment is 200,000Rps per day, discounted for advanced booking/packages.
9; Around here you'd be looking at 650-700,000rps
So hope that is all helpful drop us a line through our website to get the latest package prices and if you have anymore questions.
Cheers

Hi
Here are the current for advanced bookings, valid till end of 2017
Menjangan Island, trips leave from the beach, we have our own private speedboats, fast & comfortable. Trip leaves at 08.30 and takes about 25mins to get to the island, because we have our own boats we are free to choose location. You'll usually spend about an hour at one location before moving to the beach for a break of an hour and a half, with light lunch & softdrinks. You can also snorkel from the beach. After that you move to a third location for another hour before returning to Pemuteran, usually back around 14.00. Light lunch, softdrinks, equipment and boat fees are included.
*The National Park (Menjangan Island) is finished reviewing fees. Additional entrance fees is now required of 200,000Rps per person (300,000Rps on Sunday). Children 12yrs and younger are exempt of the entry fee. These additional fees would be payable on-site.
Pemuteran Reefs are yes much closer, 3-5 minute with our boats. We go out for an hour and come back to the hotel, usually the local trips run at 09.00 and 13.00.
Price for snorkeling
1 day, Menjangan Island 550,000Rps +entry fees (includes equipment, lunch, softdrinks and tax)
1 trip, Pemuteran Reefs 200,000Rps (includes equipment, coffee/tea and tax)

Cheers

A ship worth sailing on, that's more space than divers, small groups and personal service.
Where safety is taken care of so you can just concentrate on the fun. Remember "Be Happy Dive Pirate!" Garr!...

Ahoy There Matey!
Menjangan Island, trips leave from the beach, we have our own private speedboats, fast & comfortable. Trip leaves at 08.30 and takes about 25mins to get to the island, because we have our own boats we are free to choose location. You'll usually spend about an hour diving at one location before moving to the beach for a break of an hour and a half, with light lunch & softdrinks. There is snorkelling from the beach. After that you move to a third location for another dive before returning to Pemuteran, usually back around 14.00. Light lunch, softdrinks, equipment and activity fees are included.
Menjangan Island is well known for its walls and drop offs, often having the chance of seeing turtle and shark, But *The National Park (Menjangan Island) is finished reviewing fees. Additional entrance fees is now required of 200,000Rps per person. These additional fees would be payable on-site.
Pemuteran Reefs are yes much closer, 3-5 minute with our boats. We go out for a dive and come back to the beach, usually the local trips run at 09.00 and 13.00. Since there is only 21km between here and Menjangan Island marine life is similar. Pemuteran has more variety in topography, flats, slopes, small walls to muck and critters. Its also home to the Underwater temple garden, garden of the gods and Biorock reef restoration project.
Package price for the 2 of you would be
1 day, 2 dives, Menjangan Island 2,508,000Rps + 400,000Rps entry fees (includes equipment, lunch, softdrinks and tax)
2 dives, Pemuteran Reefs 1,919,000Rps (includes equipment, coffee/tea and tax)
So, let me know what you think and we can take it from there.
Cheers
