.: AMED DROP OFF
Amed lies on the shore of Jemeluk bay (Teluk Cemeluk), only a few kilometer south of Tulamben. There are usually a lot of jukung (local fishing boat) lying on the shore which are worth looking at since they are often nicely painted. This is a small wall but the dive on a slope with a nice coral block covered with black corals. A lot to see like: small Napoleon, a blue spotted ray and some nice nudbranchs.

.: LIPAH BAY
Lies approximately 3 kilometers southeast of Jemeluk.There are a small wreck of a steel freighter at 6 - 12 meter encrusted with gorgonians, sponges and black corals and with a lot of glassfish. Nice hard coral cover with a lot of anthias and here even found some pygmy seahorses and a lot of nudibranchs. |  |
.: GILI SELANG
This small island lies at the very eastern tip of Bali between Tulamben and Padang Bai. Reached either from Amed (half hour in a small boat) or from Padang Bai (1 hour by speedboat) since the road there is quite bad. Gili Selang lies at an exposed position right in the currents that flow through Lombok Strait. You dive in a very current-swept area, so this dive is only for experienced divers. The island looks like it just broke away from the mainland. There is a narrow channel on the west side, but you start your dive in the north and if you are swept along the east side of the island you end up just south of the island, there is an area to escape the current, but no problem with our experienced boat rider along in case you get swept away. This is a very nice dive site and covered everywhere with soft corals - probably the healthiest corals in Bali - but also a lot of fish and a good chance to find turtles, bumphead parrotfishes, tunas and white tip reef sharks.
.: THREE FINGERS
Lies approximately half a kilometer south of Gili Selang. This dive site consists of three rocky outcrops with nice coral reefs around them and black sand on one side. If the current is not too strong you can actually dive around all three rocks. A nice dive with nudibranchs, moray eels and colorful cleaning shrimps but also groups of bumphead parrotfishes and lots of fish.
