With relaxed coastal villages and uncrowded dive sites, Amed scuba diving offers rewarding underwater exploration in one of Bali’s most scenic regions.
Conditions for diving in Amed, Bali are good year-round, but the best visibility typically occurs from April to November during the dry season. Water temperatures range from 26–29°C (79–84°F), and seas are generally calm.
