PADI Instructor Development Course Amed, Bali

Driving through fields of green on the way to your Amed, Bali IDC

Once in Amed, you will realise that this location has everything you need. Feels like being on the country side, but with all necessary things around the corner.

Describe as “the most recent tourist development area in Bali”, you will find here long stretch of coast running from the village of Culik about 14 km eastwards incorporating the seven villages of Amed, Jemeluk, Bunutan, Lipah, Selang, Banyuning and Aas.

The drive is pretty impressive and a stop by one of numerous restaurants for a drink with a view on these beautiful black sandy beaches is a most.

Or heading to the “Sunset Restaurant” with a view from above is not a bad idea at all!

As if it wasn’t enough, driving further north to Tulamben, only takes 20 min by scooter. Tulamben is also all about diving! You will find there a few restaurant along the coast and of course, the place is famous for the Liberty Wreck, USAT Liberty was a United States Army cargo ship torpedoed by Japanese submarine in January 1942.

In 1963, the eruption of Mount Agung caused the vessel to slip off the beach, and it now lies on a sand slope in 9 to 30 m of water. The wreck is about 130 m long with the shallowest part at about 5 m deep and the deepest on the other side of the wreck at about 30 m deep.

We could keep on talking about the beauty and attractions of the place for ages actually! But best if you come and experience it yourself!
