Purana is the best captain on the island! Friendly, helpful and fun! With his years of experience he knows the waters around Nusa  Lembongan, Nusa Ceningan and Nusa Penida like no other. Safety on all divers on the boat is his priority and he is spot on in finding you underwater at the end of the dive so you don’t have to wait long at the surface for the boat.
