Amed Wall is a reef and wall dive site located along the Amed coastline, known for its steep drop-off and healthy coral coverage. As the reef falls away, the underwater landscape changes quickly, creating a strong sense of depth and space.
Depending on the entry point and dive plan, the site can be explored along the shallow reef top or followed down the wall itself. This flexibility allows the dive profile to be adapted to experience level and conditions on the day.
Amed Wall stands out for its vertical reef structure and variety of dive profiles. The contrast between the reef top and the wall creates changing scenery throughout the dive.
When visibility opens up, the drop-off becomes particularly striking. The site attracts reef life along the coral-covered wall, while deeper water occasionally brings passing pelagic species.
It’s a great option for divers who enjoy wall diving without needing to travel far offshore or commit to very deep sites.
Marine life at Amed Wall varies with conditions, but divers regularly encounter:
Turtles are frequently seen along the wall, and on some dives larger pelagic fish move through the blue beyond the drop-off.
The changing terrain and vertical reef structure make this a visually engaging dive site.
To kick start our honeymoon we decided to get our scuba diving certifications. We managed to do the open water and the advanced open water in 6 days (including 1 rest day). We did night dives, sunrise dives, shipwreck, drift and deep and lots more. Really good fun and Amed has enough to explore for both courses.
Wow, Wow, Wow! Could not recommend any other place to go if you are looking at diving in Amed. Myself and my friend completed our Advanced Open Water course (followed by a number of fun dives), with Wayan and the team at Bali Dive Cove. The whole experience was seamless!
At Bali Dive Cove, we typically organise two or more dives per day, pairing sites based on conditions and experience level.
When suitable for the group and conditions, Amed Wall may be incorporated into Advanced Open Water dives and speciality courses.
Yes. The vertical wall structure, sea fans and reef fish provide strong opportunities for wide-angle underwater photography. The reef top and wall surfaces can also reveal smaller subjects suitable for macro photography.
Divers commonly see reef fish, angelfish, butterflyfish and schools of fusiliers moving along the wall. Moray eels and other reef species are often found within crevices, and occasional larger fish may pass through the area.
Current is usually mild to moderate depending on tides and sea conditions. On some days this can create gentle movement along the wall, while on other days the water may be calm.
Yes. Amed Wall is often combined with other nearby dive sites as part of a two or three dive day in Amed. Common pairings include Jemeluk Drop Off, Amed Pyramids and other local reef sites depending on conditions and the dive plan.
It can be suitable for Open Water certified divers when the dive is kept along the reef top and upper wall. These shallower sections allow divers to enjoy the reef structure without descending too deep. The deeper portions of the wall are better suited to more experienced divers.
Amed Wall can sometimes be dived as a gentle drift depending on current and tidal conditions. On days with mild current, divers may drift slowly along the wall while observing reef life. At other times the dive may be conducted as a more stationary exploration of the reef and wall.
Amed Wall can be dived either from shore or by boat. Shore dives typically involve a longer surface swim before reaching the wall, while boat dives using traditional jukung boats allow divers to enter directly above the drop-off and begin the dive immediately.
The reef at Amed Wall begins in relatively shallow water along the reef top before dropping steeply along the wall. Divers can remain in the shallower sections or descend further depending on experience and the planned dive profile. Some parts of the wall extend well beyond 40 metres.
