Tourists were reminded that there is a fee for snorkeling and diving in Bali

From July 1, 2023, swimming with a snorkel and a mask in the sea at the Indonesian resort of Nusa Penida became paid. Tourists wishing to engage in snorkeling or diving in the marine area must purchase an electronic ticket confirming the payment of the island's damage compensation tax. The fee is IDR 100’000 (about $6) per person.
In the four months since the introduction of the system, 1.8 billion Indonesian rupiahs have been received, but not all tourists follow the new rules. The head of the Bali provincial tax agency urged everyone to follow the rules and pay the fees. Between 10,000 and 15,000 people visit Nusa Penida every day, but not all are active scuba divers.
In February 2024, it is planned to introduce a new tourist tax for foreign guests. Tour operators are recommended to include the fee in the cost of packages, and in cases when this does not happen, tourists can pay the tax on the official website.
