As Barbara and Christian are experienced divers themselves, they know exactly what is important and so everything a diver needs is available and well thought out. The dive center is very well equipped, with dry areas, camera area, lounge area, rinsing basin etc.. Ear drops are also available to disinfect the ears and prevent inflammation. After the dives there is of course coffee/tea, fruit, cake and sandwiches. The crew also take care of rinsing and hanging up the equipment and assembling it on the boats. The dive guides are just great, they find even the smallest creatures where I needed a magnifying glass. I can only say it's great. Everything is taken care of, measuring the Nitrox, assembling etc. If you want, you can also take off your diving equipment in the water to get into the boat more comfortably. One guest came with a list of everything he wanted to see. Barbara and Christian then selected the dive sites to fulfill as many wishes as possible. This makes diving fun.

Stellungnahme von Wedive
Vielen Dank für die gute Bewertung und Ihre Zeit für einen persönlichen Kommentar.
Wir schätzen Ihr Feedback sehr.

Fantastically overgrown coral reefs. Lots of macro.
Over 60 different dive sites.
3 dives a day. Dedicated guide. Very short trips to the dive site, you come back to the base after each dive.

We were well looked after while snorkeling and diving. We were able to decide flexibly whether and when we wanted to go diving and snorkeling by boat. This was possible 3 times a day, the sites are only a few minutes away. You can also go snorkeling on the house reef, depending on the current. The corals and underwater world are simply amazing!

Highly recommended, especially for lovers of rarities in the macro range. Intact reefs and diverse vegetation, fish-rich area, no large fish seen.

(Automatically translated from German)

The dive guides are absolutely unbeatable. All you have to do is put on your jacket and jump into the water. You don't have to worry about a thing. The assigned guide takes perfect care of you the whole dive. And sometimes finds things that we might not even have seen. After the dive, there is also a delicious treat for the hole in your stomach. Conclusion... mega cool dive guides! Keep up the good work!!!

Small diving center with very individual diving operation, motivated staff and very good service. Well over 50 little-visited dive sites, which are reached by 2 fast boats in 2 to 15 minutes. Diving is done in small groups, dive sites are very varied, from macro to big fish, colorful, lively and with lots of reef fish. Often very strong currents that limit the choice. Unfortunately, the plastic waste that is omnipresent in Indonesia has also reached the remote Kusu Island.

Perfect service. The guides really take care of everything. All-round vacation - you will be "immersed" here! And Barbara takes great care of everything. Every wish is fulfilled - no matter how "difficult". For example, we didn't want any drift dives and every morning the current conditions were checked and a suitable dive site was selected. Thanks again for that. The reefs around Kusu are absolutely pristine. Pure fish soup. Excursions lasted no longer than a few minutes - the "longest" about 10 minutes. After the first morning dive, we head back to the base, where a small snack (delicious) and a drink are already waiting for the hungry diver. Barbara is also always on site and has an open ear. Our guide Rival took care of everything and showed us all the little animals in the sea. Thank you for that.

Just great and super people with perfect service.

Just be and enjoy what is, this also applies here to the underwater world. We are not divers, have only snorkeled and are sustainably touched by the variety of colorful fish, the healthy and colorful corals. We have seen a lot, but nowhere as beautiful as here!!! This is certainly also due to the fact that the reefs here are almost untouched and hardly any tourists come to the area. You have here also in the water absolutely his peace. Our snorkeling guide was very experienced, knows the best snorkeling spots, can estimate current conditions very well and gives you a good portion of security through his presence. Alfa wants to become a dive guide and he will surely succeed.

The Kusu Island Resort (currently 8 guest villas) offers 100% diving pleasure and absolute relaxation. We had already "arrived" after a short time and felt very comfortable.

The villas are very quiet and have direct access to the sea via a large terrace - the view from the bed of the rising sun is magnificent.

The equipment is very functional with a lot of attention to detail and woodwork. The beautiful bathroom has a warm (open-air) outdoor shower.

Barbara and Christian have created a wonderful retreat - they are always present and dedicated to the well-being of the guests.

The staff is very nice, helpful and friendly - the service is TOP (we want to explicitly include the invisible staff in the background).

The freshly prepared food is Indonesian influenced (complemented by Barbara un Austrian moments like a very tasty Kaiserschmarrn), varied and very tasty. The lunch and dinner consists of 4 courses and the choice is vegetarian dish, fish, chicken ode beef. The full board also includes a snack and fresh fruit, which is served after the first dive, and there are delicious cakes or cookies in the afternoon.

The diving is well organized in small groups (max 4 pers/guide) and the Indonesian guides are competent and confident (above and below water).

Every day different dive sites are visited (driving time max. 30 min). The selection of the spots is done according to the expressed wishes and current conditions. The dive sites are very varied with impressive coral diversity and abundance of fish - even 'macro fans' get their money's worth.

The Kusu Island Resort can be recommended without reservation!

Boats without support for the tanks. High tide with the dive guides !

(Automatically translated from German)

The reefs are beautiful and in good condition. There are many schools of fish and reef sharks to see. Overall, there was the feeling that there were few nudibranchs or shrimp to be discovered. No frogfish were seen in any of the 50 dives. But we had mating nudibranchs on a sea cucumber and also mating sei.

The ladders at the boats are one step shorter than at other resorts (this would be important for big divers). Unfortunately, the ladder at the Jetty lacks a handrail and a support for exiting the ladder.

The dives last about 60 min; those who still have air left have to get out of the water as well. Thus the dive time costs about 10% more than in other facilities (e.g. Dive into Lembeh). This could not be changed neither with the dive guides nor with the management.

Night dives take 45 min, so we did without night dives except once.

Because of the location in a strait there is often current. No drift dives are offered because they are considered too dangerous. Diving is done in places with no or very weak current.

Dive trips with two tanks per diver are not offered due to safety concerns.

Rental equipment is available by appointment only. Diving is only allowed with a computer, i.e. in case of a defect we do not dive according to the table. The dive profiles are nevertheless planned as before (first deep, following dives shallower).

The boards of the catwalks and platforms are now and then brittle, but then they will be replaced immediately.

The camera room is fully air-conditioned and well furnished. The tiles in the toilet at the dive center and in the building are not slip-resistant.

The dive guides are competent, knowledgeable and courteous. You dive with one guide the entire stay.

Between the dives there are tea, sandwiches and cookies. Unfortunately there is no coke at the dive center even after asking. A refrigerator is available.

We received our entire diving equipment a few hours after the last dive powder-dry, cleaned and sorted delivered to the villa.

The procedures at the dive center are very well organized.
Each guest gets his fixed guide for the vacation.
The guides take care of everything, you only discuss the dive sites and what you would like to see.
Grandiose reefs and corals with partly very large stock of reef fish in all sizes and colors, you can not get out of the amazement.

(Automatically translated from German)

If you want to dive in totally healthy reefs with millions of reef fish this is the right place. The guides know their stuff. Seahorses, not 3mm in size are always found, bumphead parrot and blacktip always come by. Sometimes it can be windy down there ! You don't have to worry about your equipment, everything is always on the boat, at the end you get your equipment washed and perfectly dried delivered to the bungalow. We were 3 divers with guide Alvian, he is already a cool sock :-)

I have never met a resort that has such an optimal atmosphere!
Barbara and Christian have built in years of work with much effort and taste a resort that was (structurally) on the one hand very precisely crafted from tropical wood (no-na-net) solid and then rounded off with driftwood accents targeted.
In addition, both are "busting a hump" to care for the guests in a loving family way. And Barbara also provides surprises in the kitchen with creative local and fusion cuisine each 3-4 menus to choose from, 5x meals/snacks daily.
Diving in small groups (max 4 pax/guide), every day somewhere else.
The coral variety is enormous, also the fish variety; only big fish are few - unfortunately (still?) no protected area. Current and plankton rich, but you can always find a quiet spot if you want.

The diving on Kusu is very individual. Daily 3 dives are made and optional 1x per week additionally a night dive. Between the dives you always go back to the island with the dive boat, because the tanks are changed and you have a snack or lunch. The dive sites are reachable within 10 to 15 min by boat. The guides Erick and Yulian are excellent and find everything. Safety is very important. Depending on the dive site, there can be a strong current, but this is always checked in advance. In case of need, 3 sites are approached until it fits. At our time, unfortunately, no Nitrox was available, but will now be the case. The underwater world is unique. The hard and soft corals are all still in excellent condition. Snails, crabs, pygmy seahorses all can be found on every dive. Black tip reef sharks we also had on each of our 24 dives. What we did not have were other divers. You were always the only boat at the dive site although there are now 3 resorts in the area.
I can't say anything about rental equipment because we had our own stuff with us.
