Drift Diver Nusa Lembongan

This day will begin with a short classroom revision session with your instructor. They will access your self-study knowledge and online forms. Following, we will be off to do 2 drift dives! It is time to apply everything you’ve learned.

Your instructor will give you a briefing on skills you will have to do during the dive. Last but not least, don’t forget to enjoy yourself! Besides not having to exert as much energy, you will find that drift diving has many more benefits. You’ll be able to cover a much larger area, meaning you’ll see a lot more marine life! For example, we can look at one of our most popular dive sites – Blue Corner. This dive site has a very strong current, but it also has the highest chance of encountering Molas. At peak, we have seen more than 17 Molas in one dive! Additionally, you’ll encounter many pelagics such as Giant trevallies and Dogtooth tuna here.

Nevertheless, drift diving does come with some downsides. It can be daunting if you don’t know how to handle yourself. First of all, don’t forget to check the conditions before you jump in. If it doesn’t look safe, don’t risk it. Secondly, always go with someone who knows the area well. They may spot things you will miss because of their experience. Thirdly, there may be up and down currents. Your instructor will teach you how to handle yourself.
