I couldn't have asked for a best experience! This was my first time diving in Bali and I absolutely loved it. Iluh and Juan clearly have a lot of experience about the diving sites in the area and it shows in the way they talk about them and guide the dives. The diving equipment is in great shape (no leaky BCDs, quality masks and proper fins and boots), the accommodation is comfortable and the food was tasty and to top it all off, hanging out together during the surface intervals was a lot of fun.…

I am from Karangasem and contact Pak Ketut, friend recommend to me for diving with profesional instructors in Amed. I want to thank Pak Ketut and Iluh, my instructor during my introduction dive. We did two dives, one in Jemeluk and one on the Liberty Wreck, Tulamben. I am very lucky because even if i speak English for me much better and easy with Iluh in bahasa Indonesia. Iluh is super and i always was feeling safe and had a lot of fun on the PADI Discover Scuba Diving. If you are Indonesian citizen just show your KTP and you Will get big Covid discount (everything is included,also food).Unfortunately i still don't have enough money to do the full open water course but i Will for sure finish it in the future with Iluh. Thank you all at La Bila Dive and for giving me pictures and videos also. They are really nice and colorful.…

My brother is a free diving instructor in Amed and luckily he introduced me to Juan and Iluh at La Bila Dive Resort. I only intended stayin in Amed for a week or so but I spent nearly four weeks in this relaxed and lovely village and did a total of 25 amazing dives with La Bila. This PADI Dive Resort is a small-family owned business and it’s definitely the perfect place to get the most out of your diving holidays. Don’t imagine a super busy dive center with several boats and cars, on the contrary, As I like to say that best perfumes come in small bottles. Both Iluh and Juan are the managers and diving instructors at La Bila thus you are gonna be diving with them. Basically they make sure you can have proper dives without any bottom time restriction besides of course when your SPG marks the reserve level. No rush, consistent briefings, always showing willingness to help and support you with feedbacks and new diving techniques. Their essence is to run diving activities in a private way: a few times guests, that had already booked, arrived and they asked me if it would be fine for me to take a one or two days break so that the new divers could be together and no one else joining. Later on, they evaluate divers and see if from the perspective of experience, certification level and air consumption they can join together, whereas max. four persons in one group and actually was never my case as I dove a few times with just two more guys. From previous experiences that I have been diving in 8-persons group, this is just fantastic as me myself realize how much I improved my diving skills over these last three weeks in Amed. I did my PADI Enriched Air Nitrox with Iluh and together with Juan both have been really helpful to show me how to reduce weights, be optimally weighted and understand how to breathe during the final safety stop. They use a proper Minivan with A/C and no open air trucks, lunch, snacks & beverages are included, therefore the price-quality relationship is really great. Depending on weather conditions they may suggest you starting times & locations though basically they will ask if you like to sleep long or you rather wake up early. Overall La Bila just scores above the average in all areas and next time I know for sure that I will be staying as well with them as the restaurant food, breakfast and the staff are incredibly nice. Thanks for the time and see you soon!…
