Jemeluk Beach in Amed is like the old Bali still and so we're very happy to be here. We came here from Lovina and as I really did not like Lovina, and so Jemeluk Beach and Amed was a nice surprise.
It is a large curved black sand beach with lots of fishing boats and Warungs and inexpensive simple accommodation on the beach front. The beach is black sand but surprisingly the beach was clean and the swimming was really nice. Black sand bottom beaches are not that enticing but I snorkeled, and there were quite a few fish to keep me entertained. The water was warm. But I do not rate the coral in the bay, as there is a lot of dead coral. I believe the snorkeling is good further out but as we have snorkeled in beautiful places like The Barrier Reef in Australia, and Japanese Gardens in Tonga and so I do not need to set myself up to be disappointed so stuck to the inner bay.
While there, we watched a fishing boat pull in, and he had some Mahimahi, so we settled on a price to come back and go fishing.
We came back a week later from Seminyak arriving at 4am. It was a little hard to find at that time of the morning as pitch black. Ended up parking in a nearby place, which turned out not to be their parking and the owner of that Warung was a little annoyed with us despite there being plenty of room.
The trip out to the Bombie was in the pitch black. We got there, and the water was a little rough. Therefore, I did not want to fish, so I left that to my husband. We got 3 fish and decided to head back to get out of the slop of the waves. It was a wet trip back, and luckily, the skipper had a dry bag as the bottom of the boat and us got absolutely soaking.
I did also have to ask him for life jackets, which he obligingly put in our boat but it was not an automatic thing to do.
We had a rinse off on the beach front dive place/Warung and gave our Mahimahi fish x 3 to Beten Enjung Home Stay & Waroeng and she cooked it whole for us and served it with a salad and sauce. It was really tasty. We ate it right on the beach and had a swim/snorkel afterwards before heading back to Seminyak. The owner and her brother run the homestay/warung and fishing boat. They were good communicators (everybody here uses Whats App) and friendly.Written September 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Pebbly beach with black sand. The reef is very close to the beach and pretty, if you want to be able to actually float over it, find a passage and go to deeper water (close and easy to do). You get haggled on the beach as usual: saru, boats, massages, bracelets etc. but not too terrible.Written September 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CarolynDVSydney, Australia32 contributionsSuch an easy and mesmerising spot to snorkel. The shipwreck is very close to the shore. Make sure you have reef shoes. The pebbles hurt!
The nearby warung is locally run. A small fee means you can leave your bags. We found it to be safe. Look out for Ketut (picture attached) who will help arrange a boat to take you out to other snorkelling sites. You can hire an underwater camera/video from here too. Highly recommended. We managed to capture some great shots.
Ketut was so helpful we went back the next day and he took us out to another spot (pyramids) where we saw incredible fish and lots of turtles.Written October 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The living place is in a very nice setting, like a tropical garden. Really enjoyed sitting in front of the room enjoying the sound of the rain and hot tea. My scuba diving course went very well. The staff prepared everything for us and always had fresh juice waiting for us, and they took nice photos for us underwater. Very perfect experience.Written January 7, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Tom DPhuket, Thailand4 contributionsAbyss were excellent and I will definitely use them again. They were not the cheapest dive school in Amed but my experience was very good and I really liked all the instructors. My partner and I did two shore dives with them to explore the Liberty Wreck. I found them on TripAdvisor and saw that they had excellent reviews so chose this company. It is a French dive school but the staff spoke fluent English. They were very responsive on WhatsApp in all communications and collected us from our hotel. The dive school is conveniently located on the main road in Amed, which is easy to find. They were close to Rumba cafe (I recommend going to this cafe for breakfast!).
The price includes an edited Go Pro video of your dive experience and delicious crepes! This was a really nice touch.Written November 23, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I am from the US and was originally planning on taking the course in Cairns, Australia; however, I found the operation there impersonal and focused on using trainees for scut work. In contrast, the training at AWSD was super high-quality, very reasonably priced, and a true pleasure. I was so happy I pivoted to Bali!
I looked into several dive shops around Bali, and Pierre from AWSD was super quick to respond and hop on a call with me to discuss the course and logistics. After talking with him, I knew I would be in great hands and have an experience focused on my learning and skill improvement. I love that the shop is Balinese owned by Sasa—he's fantastic—and most of the instructors and guides are locals.
Pierre was my primary instructor: he's very experienced and is a tec diver as well, so he had a ton of knowledge. He was always super supportive, and he also pushed me to work hard to refine and practice my knowledge and craft. I found this combination of high standards and encouragement to be ideal. He didn't just want me to get through the course, he wanted to teach me to become a true professional.
I frequently accompanied and assisted some of the other great guides and instructors, including Brong, Kadek, Rauh, and Sunir. I learned from all of them, and it was awesome being able to hone my skills by assisting with real clients and students.
In addition to doing the course requirements, I got in a ton of dives, asked to learn about the business and things like repairing gear and filling cylinders, and really enjoyed getting to spend time with both the locals and visitors in Amed.
11/10, no notes, absolutely dive with AWSD. I hope to come back soon.Written November 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- EMMarzabotto12 contributionsI completed my Advanced Open Water Certification with Emilie at Bali Reef Divers in Amed. Over two incredible days, I explored breathtaking dive sites in an amazing location while improving my skills under Emilie’s expert guidance. She helped me take my diving abilities to the next level, teaching me to be a more professional, independent, and safety-conscious diver. Emilie’s approach made every step engaging and fun, and we were lucky to spot some incredible marine life along the way. It was an unforgettable experience with a fantastic instructor!

- Berta M1 contributionWe had a great time and a great experience diving with Bali Diversity. Our guide Marion, who is also one of the owners and a super experience diving instructor, has great knowledge about the marine life, awareness for marine conservation and magic eyes to find the tiniest and coolest creatures. They are the best. Amazing dives in Amed area for macro lovers.Written January 14, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Michael F1 contributionAt the heart of all businesses are the people who run it. In this case, we not only hope to have a great experience, but we also quite literally turn our safety over to their technical expertise.
In both cases, we felt cared for and safe at all timesWritten September 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Multiple compressors for clean air fills, various rebreathers for rent, DPV's...everything you could think of as a diver, it is available at Bali Dive trek. We did some Sidemount diving and our guide Jelsa was very professional, knowledgeable and accommodating (we could choose sites and dive times at our leisure). One of us did also a rebreather try dive and the owner Antoine was super patient and very knowledgeable - a fantastic first experience with rebreathers. The onsite accommodation is very generous with very comfortable and roomy bungalows. And the kitchen is also super tasty - with some of the best chicken satay on the island!Written April 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- chrisdeaneAdelaide, Australia2 contributionsBruno and his team Sara, Kadek and Wayan were great Diver Masters and now friends over my two-week 14 dive stay in Amed. Nothing was too much trouble for this 73 year old diver. Great shore diving in the area with always a surprise just around the next coral head. Great muck diving along with drop offs.Written August 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Vérane D1 contributionReally great place and super friendly people. I loved it so much I decided to do my Rescue Diver there after only my second day. I honestly didn’t want to stop diving. I can’t recommend BLD enough!! Looking forward to going back there soon.
