A single fun dive in Nusa Penida costs IDR 945,000 with us at Legend Diving Penida, with full equipment and lunch included. A try dive for non-divers costs IDR 2,190,000, and the three-day Open Water course costs IDR 6,800,000. At about IDR 17,900 to the US dollar on 4 October 2026, that is roughly USD 53, USD 122 and USD 380.
Three costs sit outside those prices: the fast boat from Bali, the marine park ticket and, for some sites, a remote-site fee. This article adds them up. Every price of ours below is taken from our Nusa Penida diving prices, the page to check for current figures.

- Balance. The rest is due 24 hours before the activity.
- Method. Cash in rupiah is the cheapest way to pay. Cards are accepted with a fee.
- Cancellation. You are refunded if you cancel more than 24 hours ahead, or if we cancel for weather or a mechanical problem. A no-show or a later cancellation is charged in full.
