Celebrate the Season with Bali Celebes Dive

December in Bali is a special time of year, blending tropical island vibes with the festive spirit of Christmas and New Year. The island turns lush and green, the weather stays warm, and the atmosphere is joyful as resorts, villages, and beaches prepare for year-end celebrations. While brief tropical showers may pass through, they often bring calm seas and refreshing conditions—especially in dive areas like Amed, Tulamben, and Padang Bai, where visibility remains good and marine life is active. It’s a wonderful time to enjoy quieter dive sites, relaxed shore entries, and beautiful underwater photography.

Spending the holidays diving with Bali Celebes Dive offers a perfect balance between underwater adventure and festive island life. Dive during the day and celebrate Christmas dinners or New Year’s countdowns by the sea in the evening. With our experienced local guides, small groups, and flexible planning, you’ll enjoy stress-free dives, rich marine encounters, and a truly memorable end-of-year escape—celebrating the season below the surface and above it, in true Bali style. 🎄🌊✨

testimonials

I had an absolutely incredible experience diving in Tulamben with Bali Celebes Dive. From the very first contact, the team was professional, welcoming, and extremely knowledgeable about the local dive sites. The guides were attentive, safety-focused, and also fun to be around, which made the whole trip even more enjoyable. It was clear that everyone here truly loves what they do and wants their guests to have the best possible diving experience. I left with unforgettable memories, a big smile, and a strong desire to come back. Without a doubt, one of the best dive operations I’ve ever been with! Highly recommended.

Excellent diving with Sammy, Mocco, Fian, and the team! We spent 2 days at Nusa Penida (and managed to see mola mola on 4 of the dives, and manta on 3 of them!) and 3 days muck and wreck diving in Tulamben with Bali Celebes Dive. All hotel booking, transport and diving logistics were handled professionaly and smoothly by the team, and we had the best time diving around different spots in Bali. Many of the crew members are also avid underwater photographers and took the extra mile to help us polish our uw phototaking skills. Best crew and we will definitely return for future diving trips!

Spent the last 7 awesome days diving with Bali Celebes Dive across Tulamben, Nusa Penida and Pahang Bay. The team is professional with logistics operations perfectly planned. The diving portion of the trip was excellent. They are able to cater to our diving capabilities to make it a fun and enjoyable experience. Highly recommended to any and everyone coming to Bali for diving. From massive Mola Mola, gigantic manta, exotic Rhinopias to the tiniest nudi, attached are some photos of the aquatic life the team has brought us to see. .

Been with Balicelebdive for the past 7 days to Nusa Penida and Tulamben. Their service was simply excellent, DMs are super helpful and very talented in terms of locating objects for photo shooting. We encountered Molamola for almost every dive in Nusa Penida, and was able to shoot photos of some exotic rare species of tiny marine lives, e.g. nudibranch, frog fish, etc. Pygmy seahorse was definitely one of the highlights. All in all we were very satisfied with Balicelebdive and will definitely dive with them when we return to Indonesia.

Sammy and his team is ABSOLUTELY amazing. We met Sammy and his team in Nusa Penida for Mola Mola and Manta rays. With Sammy’s experience and lead, our team encountered 6 Mola Molas in one dive. However, thats not the best part, i truly appreciate that this team prioritized our safety and paid close attention to all of us throughout the dive. Thank you Balis Celebes Dive for the best memories in Nusa.
