Eco Initiatives

Meet Sandra and Robert

We are the founders and co-owners of Ceningan Divers and Ceningan Resort. We opened Ceningan Divers on August 1st 2015 out of our passion for marine ecology, service industry and scuba diving. Our personal goal was to create an environmentally sustainable eco retreat, a safe and relaxing resort for divers to enjoy. We aim to welcome you the same way we hope to be received when we go on a diving vacation; like family, in a personable and friendly setting. We operate our awards-winning boutique dive resort following our personal values, and international safety and training standards. We can support you in the following languages: Bahasa Indonesia, English, French, German, Italian, Romansch, and Spanish.
