Ocean Dreams Pemuteran

Had a great day. Our guide - Okto - was thorough and patient. Lunch was yummy Mie Goreng. He made coffee. He pointed out unique things that we didn’t see. He also demonstrated care of the environment by collecting plastic and providing clear direction on what we can and can’t do. Due to a slow season, we shared a boat with another company, and I thought our guide’s approach was superior. I’ve been on other snorkelling trips elsewhere, in this ranked with the best.

On our final day in Pemuteran I did a dandy little drift dive. Drift diving is kind of like the rich man’s quest to walk in outer space, without the cumbersome gear. I spread my arms and legs out as far as they’d reach, turned my back on where I was going, and watched where I’d just been. The dive site was called “Close Encounters” and it’s less than a five minute boat ride from shore. Menjangan Island is the spot everyone seems to want to dive when in Pemuteran, but I didn’t like Menjangan as much as the five minutes away dives.

Renaud & Made, it was so lovely meeting you (and baby Zoe!) and listening to your stories. You've got a great team and I miss all of you guys already. You guys welcomed me and made me feel right at home since day 1. I dived with Ocean Dreams for 8 days in December and did my Advanced Open Water and then more fun dives for a total of 11 dives. A huge shoutout to KADEK! The most patient & thorough instructor, always smiling, and always made me feel so safe & confident in the water. I told him that I was a little anxious and might be a bit slow. He told me "it's not a competition" and assured me to take my time. Kadek, Putu, Wayan, Wia & Komang and the rest of the team were warm, friendly and fun! YOU GUYS. We arranged for our transport to pick us up to head to Canggu one hour after our final dive. It totally slipped our mind that the route back is a drive up through the mountains, and tht we needed to avoid higher altitudes!! Kadek saw us drive past the dive shop, and somehow knew our driver, then CALLED his phone to tell him that we dived in the morning and to go by the other non-mountainous route. THANK YOU, KADEK! The dive sites in Pemuteran & Menjangan are amazing. I cannot wait to go back! Please send my love to everybody!!

I thoroughly enjoyed my diving experience with Ocean Dreams. The owner, Renauld, is pleasant to deal with, replies emails quickly, and is very transparent and fair with the pricing. He is also very friendly and will recommend you good places to eat in the area (e.g. the delicious ribs at Frangipani). I did 3 days of diving (total 9 dives). Had an amazing time in both Menjangan and Pemuteran. My dive guide, Wayan, is very chill and relaxed. He does not rush you to put on your equipment or hurry you in the water. Although they say each dive is max. 60 mins, all my dives ended up over 60 mins, and the longest was 76 mins. Great guy! They also gave free nitrox and provided free transportation to and from our hotel which is a huge plus! Definitely check them out if you're diving in this area.

Good diving gear. Well trained divemasters with very good eyes. Very friendly and nice staf. Thank you!!!!
