This package is designed for beginners who want to progress further than a standard Open Water course and gain more experience in a single trip.
It works particularly well for:
• Complete beginners who want to continue straight through to Advanced level
• Travellers staying in Bali for around a week or more
• Divers wanting to build confidence across multiple dive sites and conditions
• Those interested in experiencing deeper dives, navigation and wreck diving early in their diving journey
It’s ideal for anyone who prefers a structured but continuous learning experience without needing to book multiple separate courses.
To join this course, you’ll need to meet the following requirements:
• Minimum age of 10 years
• Able to swim 200 metres (any style, no time limit)
• Able to float or tread water for 10 minutes
• In good general health and comfortable in the water
You will also be required to complete a standard medical questionnaire before diving. If you answer “yes” to any medical conditions, clearance from a doctor may be needed prior to the course.
No previous diving experience is required.
“My friend and I did three fun dives and our Advanced Open Water course, and it was absolutely perfect. All the staff were super nice and the divemaster was a really good teacher.
We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel every time and also received complimentary GoPro photos and videos.”
“A perfect place. I did my Advanced Open Water course with Wayan, who explained everything perfectly. He answered all my questions in a way that was easy to understand and took all the time needed.
Underwater, he was a great mentor. Everything was easy and professional, both in and out of the water.
After finishing the course, I booked a package of 10 more dives, which was an even better decision. He and the whole team made every dive a great experience.”
“If I could give 6 stars I would! I did my advanced course there with my friends and we were treated like family. The crew is fantastic, professional, patient, flexible and with amazing vibes. Also some of the best prices in Amed.
Wayan, Boyod, Dede, Bayu, Tapik and all the rest — you have my gratitude, it was a real pleasure. If I come back to Amed, I’ll come straight back to you guys!
It is also a family business, which is always great.”
The instructors were great. They were very patient with me as an absolute beginner. The dive was really amazing. Even though the Liberty ship wreck is a famous spot with many divers, it’s also large so it was not crowded at all. The lunch afterwards was very nice as well. The videos and pictures were awesome and well balanced between the corals and the diver. I would definitely recommend diving with these guys and will do so, if I ever visit Bali again.
Wonderful experience with Bali Dive Cove. We did the “discover scuba diving” package with my wife, everything went very smoothly, the staff was very professional and patient. We had so much fun diving in the American ship wreck. Thanks again to the Bali Dive Cove team 🙏
As my first experience I totally recommend this place. The instructor Boyod is the best, for me was my first experience and he guided me through all the steps. He will make you feel so comfortable underwater. If you visit Amed don’t forget to check this place

Throughout the course, you’ll dive a variety of sites across Amed and Tulamben, carefully selected to match your progression from beginner to more advanced diving.
Jemeluk Bay (Amed)
Jemeluk Bay is used for your initial Open Water training and early dives. With easy shore access and a gently sloping reef, it provides a comfortable environment to build your skills and confidence. It is also often used later in the course for navigation and night diving.
USAT Liberty Wreck (Tulamben)
The USAT Liberty is a highlight of both courses. During your Open Water course, you’ll explore the shallower sections of the wreck (up to 18 metres), before returning during your Advanced course for deeper dives (up to 30 metres).
These dives are often scheduled at sunrise for the best conditions and a quieter experience.
Tulamben Drop Off (Optional)
If preferred, the Tulamben Drop Off can be selected instead of a wreck dive. This site offers a sloping reef that transitions into a wall, providing a different environment while still allowing you to complete your training dives.
Amed Pyramids
The Amed Pyramids are commonly used for drift diving during your Advanced course. The site features artificial reef structures integrated into the natural reef, with gentle currents that allow you to practise drift diving in a controlled and manageable setting.
Additional dive sites may be included depending on conditions and your progress, ensuring a varied and well-rounded diving experience.
