Diving in Amed

Scuba diving in Amed is known to be a great place to search for macro creatures as there are a number of incredible muck dive sites in the area’s volcanic black sand, namely Ghost Bay. As there is very little to no current in sites close to shore, Amed is also an excellent place for those who want to complete dive courses. Head out to the Liberty Wreck to dive Bali’s most famous wreck dive or explore the Japanese Wreck and its many different corals, sea fans and sponges.

There’s opportunity to dive in from the shore into beautiful reefs or enjoy easy drift dives at the Amed Wall or Pyramids. A traditional ‘jukung’ boat ride further into the blue to Bunutan will find you among big fish while you drift along a gentle sandy slope. For those planning to dive the Liberty Wreck, it may be best to dive from a liveaboard where divers have the advantage of already being on the water.

The best Months to dive in Amed

Scuba diving in Amed is best during the transition between the rainy and dry seasons. From April to July and October through to November the visibility is greatest as surface conditions are their most calm. On a good day of Amed diving, the visibility stretches to as much as 40-metres - bringing to light every creature, from the very big to the very small.

If you’ve come to Amed to visit the Liberty Wreck at Tulamben, it is best to arrive early in the morning to beat the crowds. This way, you’re likely to get a much more intimate experience diving in one of Bali’s top dive sites.
