Amed

Today we went to Amed, south east Bali, close to Tulamben. Its about 1 1/2 hours from Absolute Scuba, and the journey by bus is through beautiful rice terraces, winding through the mountains. Amed still hold the charm of the traditional fishermans (and seasalt processing) village, with many beaches, restaurants and, of course, dive centres. The diving here is excellent, especially the Japanese wreck where we visited today. Just a small group of 3 divers today, plus Diduk, the dive guide and Joe, Dive Controller trainee who is still learning the dive sites. We saw many bat fish and hidden pygmy seahorses, nudis and many different colours of reef fish. This has got to be one of my favourite dive sites!

Guest review

Received this review from some guests that had stayed and dived with us recently:

"Hi Absolute Scuba dive nice guy & Budi,

We're much thanks having pleasant & exciting week in Bali with all of yours, we hope can see Mola Mola in next ......

A hunting we will go, a hunting we will go............

We've discovered a little known muck dive site close to the centre, that has guaranteed ornate ghost pipefish.

There was a rumour that the site existed so we went out for a hunt on Saturday, and sure enough, after a bit of a search, there were the little blitters; one black, one white.

Then later one in the same dive, two robust pipefish and a huge feathertail ray (which we'd never encountered before). Sometimes it pays to go a hunting in a new area!

Bring your cameras..........and if you're lucky, we'll show you our new friends
