About this tour
A half-day introduction to scuba diving in Amed, Bali, where you'll complete two supervised dives without needing certification. Designed for complete beginners, the program keeps groups small and moves at your pace—no rushing, no oversized cohorts. Amed's shallow, sheltered reefs mean you'll see vibrant marine life within metres of the surface, making it an ideal first-time setup. Five hours total, including equipment, training, and refreshments.

What to expect
You'll start with a briefing on basic scuba skills and safety, conducted in a relaxed, small-group setting where your instructor sets the pace. After initial practice in shallow water, you'll descend for your first dive, typically staying within a few metres of the surface where you can observe coral, fish and other reef life without pressure or time constraints. You'll return to shallow water between dives to rest and regroup, then head out for a second, slightly more confident dive. The whole session lasts around five hours and wraps with time to recover, change, and enjoy refreshments.

Good to know
This suits anyone curious about diving but daunted by commitment or cost—you get a genuine taste without paying for full certification. It's also ideal for families with children aged 10+, and for those with limited swimming experience (instruction covers basic water comfort). Caveats: you must be able to swim and be in reasonable cardiovascular health. Pregnancy, recent spinal surgery, ear or sinus problems, asthma, diabetes, lung conditions and several other medical factors disqualify you; a mandatory medical questionnaire screens for these. Early starts and full-day time commitment should be expected. Groups stay small by design, which reduces competition for instructor attention but may mean fewer departures per week.
