More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the shaded pier and the sea takes on a calm, glassy voice — it invites rather than intimidates. In Amed, eastern Bali’s long coastal shelf spreads in shallow bays where coral gardens sit just meters below the surface, making this a gentle place to take your first breaths underwater.

Reserve your spot on the Introduction into diving (half day, 2 dives, no cert) today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Hydrate and eat light
Drink water before your session and avoid heavy meals immediately prior to diving to reduce nausea and fatigue.
Bring a reef-safe sunscreen and rash guard
Sun is strong on the boat and shore; a long-sleeve top protects skin and reduces the need for chemical sunscreens in the water.
Equalize early and often
Pinch-and-blow or Valsalva as soon as you feel pressure — don’t wait — to protect your ears during descent.
Disclose medical conditions honestly
Complete the medical questionnaire and consult a doctor if you have respiratory, cardiac, or recent surgeries before booking.
Swimsuit and rash guard
Quick-drying, sun-protective clothing keeps you comfortable on the boat and reduces sunscreen use in the water.
summer
Towel and dry bag
A towel and dry bag for valuables keep you dry and organized between dives.
Prescription mask or contact lenses with backup
A well-fitting mask improves visibility and comfort for those who need vision correction.
Reusable water bottle
Staying hydrated before and after dives reduces risk of fatigue and dehydration.
