About us
Southern Dreams Diving Club was originally established in Bali in 1996 and operated until 2005. In 2016, we reopened the dive center in Candidasa with a new philosophy focused on private and personalized diving experiences.
Rather than high-volume diving, we chose to specialize in private diving and small groups. As a result, we can provide a much more personalized experience. This approach gives our team the time to provide personal attention both above and below the water, with a strong focus on safety, quality and enjoyment.
Our experienced multilingual team speaks English, French, Spanish and Indonesian, welcoming divers from around the world and helping them discover Bali’s underwater world in a relaxed, safe and personal way.

Private Diving Experiences in Bali
At Southern Dreams Diving Club, private diving means exactly that: every booking has its own dedicated dive guide. We do not combine different bookings into the same guided group, so you will dive only with the people you booked with and your own guide.
This allows us to provide a much more personalized experience. Whenever conditions allow, we can adapt the dive plan, pace and choice of dive sites to your experience, interests and comfort level, rather than asking you to follow the needs of a larger mixed group.
Whether you are travelling alone, as a couple, with friends or as a family, our approach gives you more personal attention from your dive professional and a relaxed atmosphere both above and below the water.
Our goal is simple: to make your diving in Bali experience safe, comfortable, personal and memorable.
