Lembongan Marine Park

Jungut Batu

Bali International Diving Professionals are running a small office at the island of Nusa Lembongan, the small island between Bali and Nusa Penida in the Badung Strait. From our office on Lembongan you look over Sanghiang Bay, across the Badung Strait at Bali. Breathtaking sunsets and views at Bali and the majestic contours of Bali's holy vulcano The Gunung Agung.

To provide dive trips and tours for divers staying on the islands Nusa Lembogan and Penida, BIDP operates their own speed-boat from the island of Nusa Lembongan. This purpose built speedboat is a small replica of BIDP's big boat which is used to cross the Badung Strait for the divetrips around Lembongan and Penida departing from Sanur, Bali.

By using the small speedboat for the trips from Nusa Lembongan, the dive operation run from Lembongan is not relying on BIDP's main Speed-Boat which has it's dock at the beach of Sanur and has to cross the Badung strait (45 min) to provide it's service at the islands of Nusa- Lembongan, Penida and Ceningan.
