A group of eight divers, hand-picked by our team.

We leave nothing to chance — your group is built around your preferences.

Who do you dive with?

This is for you if…

You're travelling solo

You want to travel without roping in friends or family, but without diving with a random group either. We match you with divers like you.

You're travelling as a duo

You want to join a bigger group without being split up. Your duo joins a group together.

You're an experienced diver

Fast pace, technical sites, big marine life: we match you with divers of the same level and the same expectations.

You're new to diving

First trip, first certifications: we build a group at your pace, with no pressure from more experienced divers.

The concept

The steps before you dive in.

1

Tell us your preferences

2

The group is formed by affinity

We build groups of 8 compatible divers: same pace, same curiosity for marine life, same travel energy.

3

The trip is built with the group

We put a shortlist of locations, dive centres, accommodation and, if needed, extra activities to a vote by the group.

4

Book and pay for your services directly

The group is confirmed as soon as it is full. You book and pay for your own flight, accommodation and dive centre based on the trip planned with the group.

5

Meet over video call

Before departure, the group meets over video call: our team walks through the trip and members get to know each other for the first time.

6

Board the plane, fins in hand

Off to the airport: your group meets up on site, ready to dive together.

Sample trip

A typical trip

Every trip has its own itinerary; here, as an example, is a 10-day Polipia trip to Bali.

J1

Arrival & meet-up

Check in at the accommodation near Candidasa, then a welcome meeting: the group finally meets in person.

J2

Dive day — Blue Lagoon (Padang Bai)

Morning

Dive at Blue Lagoon, in Padang Bai, a few minutes by boat from Candidasa: a shallow, sheltered coral reef and one of the busiest spots on the east coast, perfect for easing back into diving.

Afternoon

Free time on Candidasa beach, or an optional dive at the same site for the keenest.

Evening

Transfer to Tulamben, further along the east coast, to get closer to the next dive site.

J3

Dive day — Tulamben

Morning

Dive the USAT Liberty wreck, one of Indonesia's most popular: shallow and rich in macro life, with moray eels, scorpionfish and nudibranchs.

Afternoon

Optional activity: visit the nearby Tirta Gangga temple, or stroll through the surrounding rice fields.

Evening

Transfer to Amed, about thirty minutes away, to get closer to the next dive site.

J4

Dive day — Amed

Morning

A more demanding dive at Amed: deeper drop-offs and coral gardens.

Afternoon

Relax on the black sand beach, or wander through the fishing village.

Evening

Optional night dive on the Jemeluk drop-off: octopuses, lobsters and small creatures that only come out after sunset.

J5

Rest day — Ubud

Morning

Drive inland to Ubud: a lie-in on arrival and a late breakfast.

Afternoon

Cultural outing: the Tegallalang rice terraces and the Tirta Empul temple.

Evening

A small group outing to watch a traditional Balinese dance performance (Kecak) in the heart of Ubud.

J6

Transfer to Nusa Penida

Morning

Back to the coast early in the morning, then a 45-minute boat crossing to Nusa Penida.

Afternoon

Settle in on the island, then visit the Kelingking Beach viewpoint, one of the most spectacular on Nusa Penida.

J7

Dive day — Nusa Penida

Morning

First dive of the trip at Nusa Penida, at Manta Point, with manta rays, in a moderate current.

Afternoon

Free time, or a walk to Diamond Beach.

J8

Dive day — Nusa Penida

Morning

The most technical site of the trip, at Crystal Bay: marked thermoclines, unpredictable currents and a high chance of mola-mola in season.

Afternoon

Group debrief over a drink and trip photos, facing the sea.

J9

Last dive & return crossing

Morning

The trip's last dive, at the group's favourite site, provided it takes place at least 24 hours before the return flight.

Afternoon

Boat crossing back to Bali, then a group dinner in Sanur to close the trip.

J10

Departure

Breakfast, transfers and the journey home — already wanting to come back.

Frequently asked questions

Everything people ask us before diving in.

Do I need a certification level to sign up?

No. You tell us your current level when completing your profile, even if you're a beginner, and that's exactly what lets us suggest suitable groups and destinations.

Can I sign up solo or as a duo?

Yes. Alone or as a pair, you join a group of 8 compatible divers, and if you're a duo, you stay together within the group.

How are the groups of 8 divers formed?

We match divers by real affinities (level, diving pace, preferred atmosphere, availability) rather than simply by order of registration.

What happens if my group isn't full?

The trip is only confirmed once all 8 spots are booked. You can follow the group's progress and change destination at any time before confirmation.

Can I change my preferences after signing up?

Yes, at any time from your profile. Your future group matches will take them into account automatically.

What does it cost?

Up to €40 in fees, paid once per person: trip coordination, matching your group of 8, and assistance and follow-up during the trip. That's all. They are only due once your group is confirmed; the rest of the budget (flight, hotel, dives) is paid directly to providers.

How does payment for my trip work?

You book and pay for your flight, accommodation and dive centre directly with the providers, based on the trip built with the group. Our matchmaking fee is billed separately, once the group is confirmed.
