The island creates the adventure. The community makes it unforgettable.
Your safety is our number one priority.
Safety is demonstrated in the details before every dive: qualified supervision, a clear plan, careful checks and equipment maintained to a dependable standard.

Every dive is led by an SSI-qualified instructor or divemaster, with the group and plan matched to certification, experience and conditions.
The briefing covers the site, signals, entry, exit and emergency procedures. Equipment fit and function are checked before anyone enters the water.
Rental equipment is inspected, maintained and serviced regularly. Anything worn, leaking or not fitting correctly is addressed before the dive begins.

Project Laut operates every in-water activity. Its qualified instructors and divemasters manage equipment, briefings, safety checks, dive sites and group plans around your experience and the conditions.
It is a social hostel with a bar, restaurant and rotating activities—not a nonstop party hostel. Most activities finish around 10pm; selected Saturdays and full-moon events can run later.
No. Mantas are wild animals and ocean conditions change. Project Laut chooses sites, timing and schedules around safety, your level and the best possible experience that day.
We can help arrange the fast boat. When it is booked through The Penida Project, harbour pickup is included. Exact routes and timings are confirmed with your arrival plan.
