Harmony Diving Zen Dive is one of the world s premier yoga, ayurveda, and diving centers. All of our courses and fun dives include an optional emphasis on Harmony Diving, a unique diving concept that combines scuba diving with a customized program of holistic wellness, yoga, meditation, pranayama, and ayurveda. Our programs also include a focus on marine conservation and environmental awareness.
Our resident PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer is also a RYT Yoga Alliance yoga instructor with extensive experience in marine conservation and environmental protection. At Zen Dive, we believe diving and yoga are complimentary activities. Diving encourages you to enter into a meditative state of mind and be completely present. We encourage you to experience diving as a form of moving meditation, where you float weightlessly and silently, focusing only on your breath and the present moment. This allows you to relax completely and experience a powerful connection with nature. Yoga emphasizes controlled breathing in harmony with movement. The specialized breathing techniques you will learn in our program will improve your air consumption, refine your buoyancy, help you to relax, and lead you into a meditative state underwater. All of our diving courses and programs may be combined with yoga, pranayama, ayurveda, and a complete program of holistic wellness. We design custom diving and wellness packages tailored to your preferences and needs. Puri Jati Beach and Macro Diving Our house reef (located only 200 meters from the dive center) is Puri Jati, one of Indonesia s best macro diving sites and an amazing destination for underwater photographers. We are the only dive center located close to Puri Jati. Having a good guide at this site is essential, as most of the unusual animals we find here are also masters at mimicry and disguise. All of our guides have been specially trained and are experts in locating rare marine life here. Are you a serious underwater photographer? We send our photographers with their own guide. You ll never be pressured to hurry, or be part of a large group. Take as much time as you need to get that perfect shot. Puri Jati is located in a calm bay adjacent to a river, and is a haven for octopus and a nursery for a wide variety of rare and unusual creatures. Very few dive sites in the world offer the variety of the hard to find small creatures that we see here.
After entering the water from the shore, we swim past a sea grass bed where we regularly spot seahorse, pipe fish, file fish, and sea moths. The black sand slopes gently down from the shore to a steeper slope, which is home to the mimic octopus, dragonets, devilfish, ghost pipe fish, ambon scorpionfish, file fish, and a wide variety of nudibranchs, just to name a few. We also frequently see frogfish and a large variety of rare juveniles here. We offer discounts for multiple days of diving and a selection of diving packages that can be tailored to your preferences. We also offer specialized packages that combine multiple days of diving at Puri Jati with some of Bali s other great macro dive sites.
