TRY DIVING IN AMED: PADI DISCOVER SCUBA DIVING
Curious about scuba but not ready for a full certification? The PADI Discover Scuba Diving program (DSD) is the perfect introduction. Often called a baptême de plongée or intro dive, this one-day experience lets you try scuba diving in Bali under the guidance of a professional instructor — no prior certification or experience needed.
Amed, a relaxed village on Bali’s east coast, offers ideal beginner conditions: calm bays, shallow coral reefs, and gentle slopes where new divers feel safe and comfortable. During your DSD, you’ll learn basic scuba skills in our pool, then enjoy two ocean dives exploring vibrant reefs filled with clownfish, parrotfish, and other tropical species. Depending on conditions, you may even get a glimpse of the legendary USAT Liberty wreck in Tulamben, one of the most accessible shipwrecks in the world.
This introductory scuba course is designed for complete beginners who want to discover the magic of breathing underwater in a safe and fun way. It’s the perfect holiday activity for families, couples, or solo travelers looking for an unforgettable adventure in Bali.

I had such a great time doing my Open Water course with Kai—he’s an amazing instructor who made everything super clear and easy to understand. I felt safe and inspired. I enjoyed it so much that I’ve decided to do all my certifications with Dive Culture. Highly recommend!
Jalila Belkouch Samorah
We spent 3 days diving with Dive Culture in Amed and had a great experience. The team was professional, very flexible, and made everything easy from start to finish. Amed is an incredible place to dive, but 3 days felt way too short to really see it all. Hope to be back soon with Dive Culture!
