Amed

The little village of Amed lies on the north east coast of Bali, about twenty minutes by road east of Tulamben. To the east of the bay, a headland drops steeply to the sea, surrounded by very rich coral gardens which again drop steeply down a magnificent wall to around forty meters. We cover this wall in two dives.

The first half we can easily reach by swimming from the beach, along the wall, and returning through the shallow coral gardens, with all their wonderful surprises. It is difficult to describe what you might see here, the variety is so astounding. That's what I love about diving, there is always something new and surprising.

For the second half, one of the local fishermen will take us in a 'Jukung' outrigger canoe. A trip in one of these sturdy little craft with a local fisherman is always such a joy. A poem in functionality, a glimpse into the life of coastal Indonesia.
