Amed Bali is a small and quiet Bali village that stretches for about ten kilometers on the north-east coast of Bali. Amed with his relaxed atmosphere attracts more and more tourists in search of authenticity. Amed is a home to very beautiful Bali dive sites with a lot of diving variety. Jemeluk Bay is the best known and certainly the most dived Amed dive site, it offers ideal conditions for beginners to experienced divers with low current and warm water. Diving in Amed is usually done by traditional boat called Jukung.

Although affected by the El Niño phenomenon at the end of the 90s, the Amed dive sites have kept their splendor below 10 meters and are slowly recovering above. The flora of Amed is the rest of diving in Bali very rich with many hard and soft corals, really nice gorgonians or sea fans, and beautiful sponges including huge barrel sponges. The fauna is as varied as are the Amed dive sites, a myriad of small reef fish but also good special macro diving spots on the different substrates that Amed offers. There are also many schools of fish and pelagic. Macro lovers will appreciate Pygmy sea-horses, different kind of ghost pipefish and the large panel of Nudies. On a basic diving trip we will dive the wall of Jemeluk and Pyramids dive site.
