Review Body: I absolutely loved the experience! It was so meaningful to actually plant coral fragments and see how even small actions help the reef and the fish thrive. The guide is expert and explain everything clearly, from spotting healthy coral to how the reef has grown over the years — it’s amazing to see the fish population increasing and coral flourishing. Even with the choppy seas, the life jackets and guidance made it safe and fun, and I really appreciated how the team combines conservation with supporting the local community. It’s such a rewarding experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves the ocean and wants to make a real difference.

Review Body: We would like to say a huge thank you to the team, we loved our experience and what they are doing to regrow the reef coral in this area, huge effort. It was great to be involved and give something back. By rebuilding the coral cages, and then snorkelling and seeing the fish coming back to this area, it really was special. We live in Queensland Australia and have lived next to the Great Barrier Reef. We know how important the reef is to the marine environment, the ocean and to the beaches. A lovely group of people, we felt very welcomed there and loved our experience, thank you. A great way to spend a day in Bali

Review Body: Livingseas is top-tier! Got my SSI Open Water certification here back in December 2025 as a complete beginner. A huge shoutout to Lea and Abe for being incredible instructors and making my first dives so seamless. I really enjoyed the corral planting and it amazing the work that you guys are doing restoring the reef. I loved it so much I came back to complete my Advanced course with Dylan! Amazing team, high safety standards, and fantastic energy all around. Also many thanks to Leon and his team of volunteers for fun post dive hangout at Wholesome Hub.

Review Body: Dylan and Cosme are excellent instructors! The site selection is amazing and the company was able to source a prescription scuba mask for me (-5 in both eyes). For everyone’s reference, they teach SSI. The coral restoration work is quite remarkable and it was an honor to participate in my own small way.

Review Body: The diving experience was good, good visibility and paired with the buddy diver who was attentive throughout the dive. However, the wet suit given had several torn parts, some parts even exposed the skin. Instructions on when to change the wet suit/keep belongings were a little unclear. My male friend didn't even have a suit of his own size and ended given a female size XL suit. Some of the goggles were mouldy. The showering place for wash up is an open concept making it challenging for female to have a proper wash up/changing to dry clothes. For the lunch wise, there's not indication not allowed for 2nd serving. So when being asked, staff were initially hesitant but subsequently allowed. I booked the Snorkeling+ Coral restoration+ add on diving but didn't even do any snorkeling. So I find the tittle is quite misleading actually.
