About Purple Dive Penida
Purple Dive Penida is a PADI Career Development Centre on the north coast of Nusa Penida, offering scuba diving and professional dive training in one of Indonesia's most celebrated marine environments. The dive shop sits close to the Ped–Toyapakeh road, within easy reach of the channel dive sites that draw divers from around the world to swim with manta rays and the elusive mola mola sunfish.
The centre runs guided fun dives to signature sites such as Manta Point, Crystal Bay and the drift walls of the Toyapakeh strait, alongside the full PADI course pathway from Discover Scuba and Open Water through to Divemaster and Instructor level. Small group sizes, experienced multilingual guides and well-serviced equipment make it suitable for first-timers and seasoned divers alike, with nitrox and specialty courses available for those wanting to go deeper.
As a PADI Career Development Centre, Purple Dive stands out for its professional-level training and mentorship, making it a popular choice for divers looking to turn a passion into a career. Its focus on safety, conservation-minded diving and personal attention has earned strong reviews, and the on-site facilities let guests combine diving with a relaxed stay on the quieter side of the island.
