Bali Diving - Amed Area

Amed Reef
The Amed Reef is one of Bali?s most underrated sites and combined with the Amed Wall as a double dive it can be very rewarding. There are many playful schools of fish in attendance as well as some beautiful Gorgonian Fans. Currents here are relatively mild so the less experienced divers will not be overawed. All in all this will be an enjoyable dive for everyone.

Highlight:
- Coral Reef
- Assorted Hard and Soft Corals,
- Clown Fish, Surgeon Fish and Moray Eel,
- Slight to Moderate Currents
- 10-20 Meters Visibility
- All Levels of Diver


Amed Wall

This is the site partner of the Amed Reef and has multitudes of marine life in every area. The impressive array of Sponges and Corals are a compelling backdrop to the frantic activity of the resident fish. A dive that can be done every day for a week and something new would be discovered every time. Definitely take your camera, as it will be impossible to remember every species of fish you see.

Highlight:
- Wall and Corals
- Assorted Hard and Soft Corals
- Trigger Fish, Lion Fish and Banner Fish
- Slight to Moderate Currents
- 10-25 Meters Visibility
- All Levels of Diver

Lipah Bay

Soft Corals
Angel Fish, Bumphead Parrot Fish and Trevally
Slight to Moderate Currents
10-15 Meters Visibility
All Levels of Diver
Perhaps the quietest wreck site around Bali but is worth a dive or two for the Sponges alone. The wreck sits alongside a very busy reef that is brimful of activity. Currents can occasionally interfere with visibility but all will enjoy a day out at this site. Snorkeling opportunities abound, as the wreck is not far from the surface. Adventurous divers will be rewarded the deeper they explore as the vast range of Corals is particularly impressive.

Gili Selang
Island, Multiple Sites
Assorted Hard and Soft Corals
Barracuda, Sweetlips and Trevally
Moderate to Strong Currents
15-40 Meters Visibility
Experienced Divers
Gili Selang is a real treasure-trove of marine life. The site can be used as part of a double dive at one of the many prime locations in the area. There are several well-preserved reefs and bommies that contain a dizzying range of beautiful Corals. Large schools of fish abound on every side of the Island. Strong currents will always be prevalent around any island; however, Gili Selang is certainly worth the risk. These currents may prove too strong, if so head for the Amed Reef instead.
