Dive Information

Dive Sites For Beginners

• JEMELUK - Beach Dive Amed Easily accessible location, nice corals between 3-6m, artificial reefs at more profound depths. Great variety of reef fish. A perfect location for night dives as well.
• US LIBERTY - Beach Dive Tulamben The most famous dive spot in Bali. The 120m long vessel is one of the easiest wrecks to dive in the world, but is also one of the most interesting. Fully covered in corals, home to hundreds of different fish species. Starting at about 4-5m deep up until 27m, this site requires several dives to see everything
• KUBU - Beach Dive Tulamben A nice, relaxed diving spot. Excellent coral fields, a wide variety of fish and sea life.
• Sometimes a bit of current, but never pose a real problem. Dont forget your camera!
• DROP OFF - Beach Dive Tulamben About 300m to the east of the wreck, is the drop-off. A steep wall, covered with corals, up to 70m deep. If youre lucky, your eye will fall on one of the many mimic octopus, mantis shrimps and mostly, youll also meet with the bumphead parrotfish. Lovely dive spot!
• MELASTI - Beach Dive Amed Photographers will love this. An excellent muck dive, very shallow but with lots of rare critters.

Dive Sites For Intermediates

• JAPANESE WRECK - Beach or boat dive Amed The Japanese wreck is a small fishing vessel that sunk right off the beach. The corals on the boat and around the slopes behind the ship are very diverse and beautiful. A big variety of reef fish is to be found here, as are many nudibranchs. Current can be quite strong sometimes.
• BUNUTAN HOUSE REEF - Beach or boat dive Amed The house reef offers something for everybody. Currents can be quite strong, but they bring with them Sharks, schools of Barracuda, Giant Trevally and other Pelagics. When the current is down, its a good spot to look for different types of Eels, Octopus, Ghost pipefish, And if that isnt enough, the huge fans and very healthy corals continuously keep the place interesting. (due to currents and difficult beach access in the dark, not suited for night dives)
• SERAYA - Beach Dive Tulamben Balis famous muck dive. A dream for photographers and lovers of small and weird creatures. A must! The difficulty here is being focussed and maintaining perfect buoyancy.
• ALAMANDA - Boat dive Tulamben From the starting point of the drop-off, we take a boat and after about 5 minutes, we arrive at Alamanda. A beautiful, coral-covered slope that holds a lot of secrets. Take your time to explore (or dive with our experienced guides) and let the reef come to life.
• GILI SELANG BAY - Boat Dive Amed The bay leading away from Gili Selang is covered in magnificent, healthy coral fields. Some downcurrent sometimes and cold upwellings. Absolutely stunning dive and definitely one of our favorites.

Dive Sites For Advanced

• BLUU ROCKS - Boat Dive Amed A dive site that was recently discovered, but only for more experienced divers, as currents and a lot of thermoclines make the diving a bit harder. The colder currents and upwellings create a very healthy reef with a big possibility of seeing bigger things. Very exciting place!
• CHINESE RESTAURANT - Boat Dive Amed Another very exciting place we recently discovered ourselves. We named this site because of the amazing variety of amazing fish we saw during our first dive at this place. Sharks, Rays, Turtles, Octopus, Tuna, Napoleons, Strong currents and colder upwellings, make this a dive site for the more experienced
• diver. This is probably one of the most exciting new dive spots around Bali and this will soon be a sought after dive spot!
• GILI SELANG - Boat dive Amed Gili Selang is the most eastern tip of Bali. On 95% of the dives, at some point during the dive, you will encounter very strong current as you pass the rock. However, there are regular sights of Hammerheads, White tips and other pelagics passing by. Only for the very experienced divers. We will only take people if were really 100% of their skills, as once youre in, theres only 1 way out.
