From the first contact with Ivan by email, he was very professional, helpful and friendly. He responded to our individual requests - muck diving, photography, assigned us his best muck/photo guide - diving with Ketut was incredible, knows the dive sites very well, can track down all the critters, has a lot of marine life knowledge.
Ivan organised pick-up from the airport, recommended accommodation - Classic Beach Villas, very nice.
Diving was very varied, saw new things over 11 days, atmosphere in the dive centre was relaxed, friendly and laid-back and after the dives there was a delicious lunch! Pick-up and return from the hotel was always organised on time and reliably - absolutely recommended for a stay in Amed!!! Thank you very much!

Great place! Right on the beach! There is a very nice cafe. Showers with fresh water! A place where you can change clothes! There is also a cafe delicious food and I recommend trying tea with ginger. You can snorkel! Lots of underwater fish and animals! You can try diving! You can dive on different dive slots. Interesting night diving. You can finish a course. Professional instructors. Thank you very much to the staff of the Dive Center. We will definitely come here again.

What an experience! Me and my partner did 6 dives with Ocean Tree and each time was so fun, the staff are legitimately the best and friendliest people you will ever meet. Our dive guide Nyoman was fun and so engaging, he made sure to go the extra mile for us. The dive organisers Ivan is the most helpful and kind person you could ever ask to meet. If you are interested in diving in Bali this is the only company you should be looking at. They offer loads from fun diving at many venues or SSI courses to improve your diving skills.
We cannot wait go go diving with ocean tree again thank you for the adventures

A great team, making our family dives so special. We felt extra safe taking our 13 year old diving for her second year. Professional, thorough and friendly. Thank you to Kadek, Kutut and Ivan who went out of their way to welcome us and show us some great dive sights. Great pictures too! Ivan it was great to see you on our last day, thank you.

Finally a diving school that responded to our wishes. Ketut prepared us well for the dives and we felt safe at all times. Ketut has a very good eye for detail, so we saw lots of “macro” life like snails, shrimps, but also clownfish, scorpionfish and even a mantis shrimp!

Went to Bali with my girlfriend and had a fantastic time with Ocean Tree, the team was nice and the dive was fantastic! We went with our instructor Wayan, who really made an effort to make us feel comfortable and was a fun guy! He also made a lot of nice movies and photo’s underwater. Afterwards we also got lunch, which was great too. Overall a very nice team, 10/10 would recommend! Especially because the weather was very clear so we could see a lot better under water.

Recent dive trip to Amed over New Years December 2022-January 2023 with Ocean Tree Bali. This staff is great. The staff was very accommodating, took safety into account in diving and pre-planning, and overall made sure everyone had fun.
You meet the dive instructors in the morning, they will drive you to the site, and all heavy lifting will be taken care of regarding tanks and equipment. During surface intervals, you will be treated to tea/coffee and refreshments.
The dive shop manager was amazing. Spoke to him on the phone and he answered every question I had politely. Komang, our divemaster, was fantastic and made sure we had fun. We actually linked up with the dive shop employees at a club during a NYE party. The diving community is so close knit as we all know. The Owner, Ivan, is a tremendous business owner and I will be back.

Amazing people. We did five dives and a Nitrox specialty course here. High quality diving and felt very safe. Everything is arranged, from drinks to the boat, equipment and lunch. Very chill vibe. Loved to meet al the instructors & Ivan. Hopefully we'll be back sometime! 100% recommend.

The best diving experience of my life. I changed my travel plans to allow me to do more diving with Ketut and Kadek. The range of diving options you are guaranteed not to get bored. From local boat dives to shore dives nothing is off limits. These guys now the area so well, super impressive. The sites are so varied from somebody with little experience like me to macro and muck. I saw my first octopus, did a night dive , first cuttlefish , a large moray and a beautiful white tip. They will also video your memories for you. Something I will always cherish and I now look at when feeling down. I wear my T-shirt with immense pride. The location is Perfect, if you have your own gear great! The shop gear is all of very high standard, well maintained and cared for. Very relaxed atmosphere but I have never felt safer. I have made friends for life. The food at the shop, be careful, it’s made with a lot of love and is highly addictive. From lalapan to nasi goreng . Never disappointed. It has made me more determined than ever to move to Bali, Amed in particular. Terrima Kasih Ocean Tree
