dive sites
The diving in Bali is excellent all year round, with water temperatures range from 27° to 30° Celsius (80° to 86° Fahrenheit). The waters of Amed and Tulamben regions are often protected from prevailing seasonal weather conditions that affect other areas of Bali.
The Amed area covers approx 15 km of coastline consisting of dive sites from Malasti Amed through to Golden Rock. Most sites can easily be accessed from shore with boat dive used predominantly for drift dives at Bunutan, Lipah, Deep Blue and Golden Rock.
Dives range from macro, drift, walls, wrecks and coral gardens through to advance strong current dives at Gili Selang.
Pyramids
This site can be accessed as either a shore or a boat drift dive.
More than 20 years ago locals dropped neutral-Ph concrete pyramids and tires to attract fish and marine life to create a new reef. Mission accomplished!
This dive site is a must when you come to Amed: starting from the sandy bottom full of garden eels and blue spotted stingrays you will see the first pyramid as you go a bit deeper. Take your time to look inside these structures, it’s a perfect place for moray eel, lionfish, shrimps, and leaf scorpionfish. After a while, take a look at the amazing natural reef at around 15 meters depth, it’s full of colours and you can even see turtles if you are lucky.
Jemeluk Bay
The sheltered and calm waters of Jemeluk Bay are an ideal introduction site for scuba diving in the Amed area.
Along with a myriad of beautiful coral fish, the sites are also great for macro life with seahorses, ghost pipefish, frogfish, crabs, shrimps and loads of nudibranchs. Keep an eye out for turtles and reef sharks that are often seen here in the deeper parts.
Towards the end of the dive head back to the coral garden that sits in five to ten meters. The area is full of beautiful healthy corals and a great place to be as we conduct our safety stop.
This site is also really popular with snorkelers who can enjoy the shallow waters over the spectacular coral garden.
Bunutan
Accessible only by boat, Bunutan is a beautiful drift dive over spectacular coral gardens. As you drift along this 500 meters long reef, keep your eyes open and have a look in the blue in case bigger things show up. This area offers frequent sightings of reef sharks and turtles.
This two dive option includes one dive at Bunutan and one at Deep Blue.
Lipah
Entering from the corner of the bay on a sandy slope, this site is ideal for macro photography. Not far from shore, you will also reach beautiful reef outcrops.
This site is very rich and you will be able to see many reef fish, along with juveniles of all species, shrimps, porcelain crabs, nudibranchs galore, and many scorpionfish.
Japanese Shipwreck
This rather small (about 10 meters long) wooden shipwreck is lying just a few meters from the beach at a depth of just a few meters in a beautiful coral garden and is therefore also a perfect spot for diving or snorkelling. Divers usually go around the corner and dive deeper to about 25m with a fair chance to encounter an eagle ray or two. Napoleon fish, turtles, striped catfish, stingrays, sea fans and nudibranchs can all be seen at the Japanese Shipwreck.
Deep Blue
* advanced only *
Drift dive from a boat over beautiful coral gardens. White-tip reef sharks and turtles are often seen here.
Relax while the medium to fast-paced current floats you past soft and hard corals at a depth ranging from 5m to 30m.
This two dive option includes either:
- One dive at Deep Blue and one at Golden Rock, or
- One dive at Deep Blue and one at Bunutan.
Golden Rock
* advanced only *
Another spectacular drift dive from a boat over beautiful coral gardens. White-tip reef sharks and turtles are often seen here.
Relax while the medium to fast-paced current floats you past soft and hard corals from at a depth ranging from 5m to 30m.

This two dive option includes one dive at Golden Rock and one at Deep Blue.
Gili Selang
The small island of Gili Selang lies on Bali’s eastern tip. It looks inviting, however, the more exposed areas can have up, down and swirling currents.
Your dive generally starts on the black sand slope which is dotted with nudibranchs and an abundance of other macro critters including gobies. The slope becomes a healthy, sheltered reef at a mere 4m and is a rich mixture of many, multi-coloured soft and hard corals.
Since the discovery of the USAT Liberty wreck as a diving destination back in the 1980s, Tulamben has become a world-famous dive site with divers all wanting to take a glimpse. The area also features another lesser-known Boga wreck that was sunk in 2012 at Kubu.
It’s not just the wrecks that draw divers here, the area also boasts some beautiful drop off walls, coral gardens and some amazing muck sites.
Liberty Wreck
This is Bali’s most popular dive destination and with good reason! It is the home of the U.S.A.T. Liberty, a World War II cargo ship that was torpedoed and left upon the beach. In 1963 Liberty was swept into the ocean by the eruption of Mt. Agung and now rests in water between 5 and 30 meters deep.
In the vicinity of the wreck are other world-famous sites, home to 100s of species of reef fish, soft and hard corals, nudibranchs, pygmy seahorses, electric clams and other rarities.
Excellent for night diving when the bump-head parrotfish come to the wreck.
Boga Wreck
This ship was sunk in 2012, thus is still fairly new. The wreck is wonderfully decorated, for example with a car. Also, the wreck is made for easy access and exit. The corals are beginning to grow and attract more and more marine life to the wreck.
Statues, car and other objects have also been sunk with the boat.
Monkeyreef
This dive site consists of two reefs, one left and one right. The reefs are full and beautifully overgrown with hard and soft corals, huge vase corals and gorgonians. In addition to large quantities of fish, we often see white-tip reef sharks, Napoleon, eagle rays, and sometimes a herd of bump head parrotfish comes by for a photo!
Drop-Off
Also called Tulamben Wall, this spot is a drop-off. Weak current and good visibility of 10 to 30 meters.
The Tulamben drop off is one of the most popular sites of Bali. Descending from 3 meters to 80 meters depth, it has been formed by the lava river of the Mount Agung of 1963. It is today covered in a multitude of coral.
Coral Garden
Shallow water site located in one of the richest and biodiverse regions of Tulamben.
It is also the site where we are most likely to see black-tip sharks. This magnificent coral reef shelters numerous varieties of clownfish hiding in the anemones (white, green and blue), accessible to divers of all levels. This is an ideal spot for underwater photography.
Batu Belah
The site consists of big lumps of coral on a sand bed. The structure of the dive site stands out from the others of the Tulamben region because of the species found here. This makes it a particularly interesting site for divers staying a few days in Tulamben. Do not miss the purple leaf scorpionfish that are seen on every dive here.
Macro Sites
Seraya area is one of the most famous macro sites of Bali; know for years, photographers reunite here to capture shots of rare creatures, like the harlequin shrimp, nudibranchs, frogfishes, crabs, pipe ghostfish, skeleton shrimps, mimic & wonderpust octopuses, bornelas, leaf scorpionfishes and much more.
Sites include: Seraya Secret, Sidem, Pura Segara, Cantik Point, Melasti Tulamben, Batuniti and Batu Belah.
The best dive sites are around the four small rocky islands of Gili Tepekong, Gili Biaha, Gili Mimpang and Gili Selang. Many people say this is THE best diving in Bali! And the visibility is often excellent. The water is sometimes a bit chilly and a 3 mm wet suit would be a good idea to keep warm.
These islands are famous for the Sharks including many species: Whitetip and Blacktip reef Shark, the rare Wobbegong Shark, the very rare Cat Shark and even Hammerhead if you are lucky!
There are also regular encounters with the giant Mola Mola also called Oceanic Sunfish during the right season (August to October). The coral here is superb and very healthy.
But be CAREFUL! Due to challenging conditions, most of these superb dive sites are reserved for experienced divers only who are accompanied by an experienced guide!
Gili Tepekong
* advanced only *
Shark Alley, Canyon, Wall and Swim-Throughs Dive Sites.
Magnificent rock pinnacles covered with hard and soft corals and breath-taking vertical walls with sea fans and a kaleidoscope of colourful tropical fish.
Currents here are moderate to strong and very strong. Can be a difficult site around the full and new moon (down currents). Superb numbers of schooling barracudas, turtles and much more, a good chance to see big pelagic species like manta rays and sunfish (mola-mola) in season (June-October).
Gili Mimpang
* advanced only *
Gili Mimpang is situated between Gili Tepekong and the coast of Bali and offers the same characteristics as Tepekong.
Three small islets outline the site. At the beginning of the dive, we descend onto a plateau with a large coral bommie where marine life abounds, and little by little we make our way along the reef as it begins to slope and eventually turns into a vertical wall. If conditions allow, we continue along the wall, and at a shallower depth, make our way around the last of the three islets in order to arrive back to where we began our dive. The cold currents here (18-20⁰ C) contribute to keeping the reef in excellent health, and also make it possible to encounter pelagics such as reef sharks, barracuda, stingrays, and even mola-mola (sunfish), particularly from July to October.
Blue Lagoon
Blue Lagoon/Jepun is a small bay just outside Padangbai; it has a very unassuming appearance and is essentially a white sand slope and bottom with small scattered bits of reef and coral.
Take a closer look and you’ll find an entrancing variety of marinelife in this area just waiting to be uncovered. This includes a collection of resident Blue-spotted rays and a large Napoleon wrasse through to nudibranchs of all shapes, sizes and colours and surprising discoveries of scorpionfish, lionfish and moray eels.
Manta Point
This is the must-see dive site for all divers who come to Bali. The manta ray is a majestic and impressive animal, and seeing it for the first time is a transcending and magical experience. An unforgettable dive awaits you!
After following the sheer cliff-faces that characterize the coastline to arrive at the southeast end of Nusa Penida, you enter the mythical dive site of Manta Point. Sitting in 7 metres of water, nestled inside this protected bay, is the manta “cleaning station” where mantas swim over the top of the same enormous boulder and allow the little cleaner wrasse to eat off the parasites that cover their bodies. The water temperature ranges between 20-24⁰ C and is often rich in plankton.
Crystal Bay
* advanced only *
Crystal Bay is a renowned dive site for being one of the only places in the world to observe the giant sunfish (mola-mola). These massive pelagic fish, measuring about 3 metres in height, swim up from the deep to be cleaned by banner fishes (species of butterfly fish). Our chances of seeing this amazing fish are greatest between June and October. This site is notorious for strong, variable currents so it is reserved for very experienced divers only.
Toyapakeh
At the end of the channel, between Nusa Ceningan and Nusa Penida, we arrive at the dive site Toyapakeh. Semi-protected from the currents arriving from the strait of Ceningan, this is a superb site with large, prominent boulders and very particular and uneven coral formations.
Between 6 and 15 metres, a coral plateau stretches out and then drops off to an abrupt wall that descends down to about 30 metres. Most often this is a drift dive that will sail people through a multitude of marine life and unbelievable corals, crossing paths with pelagics, including the mola-mola. Even in the shallows, thousands of juvenile fish take shelter amidst the coral reef.
SD, PED, Sental
On the north coast of Nusa Penida, the seaweed farmers live along a white sand beach stretching the length of the coast, while beneath the surface the coral reef runs parallel to this magnificent panorama.
Choosing one of the several dive sites available, we descend just in front of a primary school (Sekolah Dasar) to dive the SD wall, or in front of a temple to dive the Ped wall, or a bit further we can find the dive site Sental. These sites are topographically very similar: all are characterized by a sloping wall that sinks out towards the dark blue of the ocean and the atmosphere is extraordinary.

PADI Enriched Air Diver (Nitrox)
$160.00
Course Duration: THEORY ONLY
Stay down longer and get back in the water sooner. Learn how to dive using Enriched Air Nitrox.
The PADI Enriched Air Diver course is PADI’s most popular specialty scuba diving course, and it’s easy to see why. Scuba diving with enriched air Nitrox gives you more ‘no decompression’ dive time. This means more time underwater, especially on repetitive scuba dives.
PADI Deep Diver
$235.00
Course Duration: 3-4 DIVES
Explore the wonders of the deep. Learn techniques for diving in the deeper ranges of 18-40 meters. After your first few scuba dives, you soon want to explore a bit deeper. There’s something exciting and mysterious about the depth that attracts divers.
PADI Wreck Diver
$235.00
Course Duration: 3-4 DIVES
Whether sunk on purpose as an artificial reef or the result of mishap, wrecks open fascinating windows to the past. Most divers find wrecked ships, airplanes and even automobiles nearly irresistible because they’re intriguing to explore, exciting avenues of discovery, and usually teeming with aquatic life. The PADI Wreck Diver course teaches you the ins and outs of rewarding, responsible wreck diving.
PADI Night Diver
$235.00
Course Duration: 3-4 DIVES
As the sun sets, you don your dive gear, slip on your scuba mask and turn on your torch.

Learn about night dive planning, equipment and navigation. Plus see a whole new cast of critters that comes out at night.
PADI Underwater Navigator
$200.00
Course Duration: 2-3 DIVES
Be the scuba diver everyone wants to follow because you know where you are and where you’re going. The PADI Underwater Navigator course fine-tunes your observation skills and teaches you to more accurately use your compass underwater. If you like challenges with big rewards, take this course and have fun finding your way.
Peak Performance Buoyancy
$200.00
Course Duration: 2-3 DIVES
Observe aquatic life without disturbing their surroundings. Improve the buoyancy skills you learned as a new diver and elevate them to the next level.
Divers who’ve mastered the highest performance levels in buoyancy stand apart. You’ve seen them underwater. They glide effortlessly, use less air and ascend, descend or hover, almost as if by thought. They interact gently with aquatic life and affect their surroundings minimally. The PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy course refines the basic skills you learned as a PADI Open Water Diver and elevates them to the next level. Neutral buoyancy is the key to conserving your air consumption and leaving minimal impact on the aquatic environment.
PADI Drift Diver
$200.00
Course Duration: 2-3 DIVES
The PADI Drift Diver Specialty course introduces you to the coolest magic carpet ride you’ll ever experience. This course shows you how to enjoy rivers and ocean currents by “going with the flow”, staying with your dive partner, communicating with the dive boat and knowing where you are the whole time.
PADI Sidemount Diver
$320.00
Course Duration: 4 DIVES
A sidemount configuration (scuba tanks alongside the diver) offers more flexibility and better streamlining options. Learn about the many benefits of diving with a sidemount configuration.
Having scuba tanks on your back isn’t a requirement for exploring the underwater world. Many scuba divers have discovered the joy of mounting cylinders on their sides. Sidemount diving gives you the comfort of a second tank – meaning more air on your dives! Plus, you don’t have to walk with heavy cylinders on your back – just enter the water, clip them on and go.
Discover Sidemount
Most probably you’ve seen those divers with two tanks and guessed they must be technical divers. Sidemount can be recreational and technical. It came from cave diving and covers many recreational diving needs now. It solves air consumption and buoyancy difficulties, giving safety during deep and drift dives. And it gives you a chance to grow and explore something new as a diver.
Not sure about it yet? Try it out and have your own opinion about this equipment.
To try it out you have to be certified as an Open Water.
Technical (tec) diving means going beyond recreational scuba diving limits. But, tec divers will tell you that it’s really about the challenge and adventure of exploring places that no one else has ever seen. Tec diving is not for everyone, but it does attract experienced divers who want to go beyond their current limits and are willing to accept the added risks, training, investment and commitment it demands. If this is you, then PADI TecRec courses are your ticket to extreme adventure.
Discover Technical Diving
This short course is designed to let divers experience technical diving in confined water. Get introduced a few basic skills and procedures. Discover Technical Diving may credit towards the Tec 40 Course.
Your PADI Tec Instructor may introduce a few basic skills, such as primary to secondary regulator switch and gas shutdown procedures.
PADI Tech Sidemount Diver
$360.00
Course Duration: 4 DIVES
If you’ve looked into technical diving, you realize that tec divers always wear more than one tank. Sidemount is an increasingly popular way to configure multiple cylinders for technical diving. You can enter the world of tec diving with the Tec Sidemount Diver course and apply what you learn to other TecRec courses.
Your instructor may offer to integrate this course with the Tec 40, Tec 45 or Tec 50 courses.
