AMED DIVING
Amed Diving is situated in a quiet bay just a few kilometers east of Tulamben Bali. The conditions from shore or boat are usually easy with good visibility. Amed Diving has many different kinds of sponges and gorgonians but also shrimp, goby sets, and blue spotted rays. When doing Amed diving it’s possible to encounter white tip reef sharks, napoleon wrasse are sometimes encountered and the deep slope after the wall is rich in invertebrates with crinoids.
Lipah Bay site is a quiet black sandy bay, 3 kilometers southeast of Amed. The main interest of this dive site is a 20 meter, steel freighter wreck that sits at 6 to 12 meters inside the bay where the reef goes to sand. The wreck is encrusted with gorgonians, sponges and black coral bushes. There is a slope down away from the wreck, which is also rich in gorgonians and some unusual species. The fish life here is quite good as well with shrimpfish, ghost pipefish, seahorses and dragon fish. The reef slopes down to black sand at about 20 meters and continues to little outcrops of life to 40 meters. The shallow water is rich with bummies and great schools of fusiliers, which make Lipah Bay a great site for snorkeling. However, some current or surge can spoil the moment, so make sure the conditions are right and you will have a wonderful dive.
