Freediving in Amed, Bali: Explore World-Class Wreck Diving

Amed is famous in the one-breath world for more than just freediving courses and freedive instructor training; it’s also known for its world-class wreck diving.

Discovering Amed's Newest Underwater Attraction

Until recently, Amed had two wrecks in close proximity to shore that are easy for snorkelers, freedivers, and scuba divers alike, plus a third wreck available for advanced freedivers and scuba divers. But that all changed recently when a fast boat destined to start taking passengers between Amed and the Gili Islands sank on its mooring.

Exploring the Depths: A New Opportunity for Freedivers

For those of you that know Amed, you can find the new wreck located at the junction of Amed and Melasti beaches. This makes it a very viable proposition for freedivers, as the deepest point of the hull is at 25 meters and the highest point of the roof is at 22 meters.

Thriving Marine Life Around Amed's Wrecks

The fast boat is already covered in plenty of marine slime and debris, attracting schools of small fish that are taking up residence in amongst the wreck. Rays, lionfish, and some species of surgeons have also been spotted around the wreck.

Plan Your Next Freediving Adventure in Amed, Bali

The wreck originally sank in 17m of water and has now moved its way down to 25m of water, so let’s hope that it doesn’t go too much further and we can continue to enjoy it for years to come!
