Diving in Amed, Bali Diving Holidays
Amed is the unspoilt paradise located at Bali’s eastern coast, and like much of Bali is surrounded by beautiful coastlines. Once remote from the rest of the island’s tourist industries, Amed has gradually developed into a superb destination for the serious diver, with several resort areas springing up to cater to the more discerning diver, and features some spectacular dive-sites around its pristine coastal waters. Although a little further out of the way than many of Bali’s other destinations, the trip to Amed is worth the travelling time, and the intrepid explorer will be richly rewarded with some of the best diving experiences in the world!
The protected reserve around Jemeluk is a snorkeller’s paradise, where swimmers can explore the abundant marine life and live coral reefs within easy swimming distance of the beach’s edge, and several fascinating sites featuring shipwrecks and coral gardens are within easy distance. Snorkelling equipment is available for hire at many locations around Jemeluk, and the snorkelling traveller will find many amazing experiences to be had around sites such as Aas, Eka Purnam and Selang.
For the more experienced scuba enthusiasts, a world of adventure awaits in Amed, with chartered trips to the amazing deeper dive sites of Amed readily available to the intrepid traveller. Abundant marine life and spectacular coral landscapes abound only a short boat trip away in the incredible scuba sites of Jemeluk, Selang and Lipah, not to mention the spectacular and easily explored WWII wreck of the warship US Liberty at Talumben, and scuba rental and chartered trips are easily accessible.
