To be honest, best and cheapest way is to book direct with a resort

If you don't mind me asking, which resort did you use?

I have found this not always the case, I rang the resort and asked about pricing first, then did a search and found a cheaper rate during the same period , this was done last year, well in advance of my travel, I paid the full amount upfront it was such a good deal.
That is the reason it would have cost me so much to change to a new places, prices have gone up,
the mob I used state I could cancel within a few weeks of leaving and change my booking, again, the prices had gone up.

And thanks to people on here who know the place well, I have sourced a good dive shop in the area , a big callout to JonnieB.

There is an ATM in the Indomaret, works too. Has been there for at least a year. I was there for 2.5 weeks this month.

To be honest, best and cheapest way is to book direct with a resort, no need to go through a travel agent. The resort will arrange a driver to collect you from the airport or hotel in Denpasar and return after diving has finished. I have done four trips there and we always have just booked direct. Never needed to pay a deposit either.

I've been in Tulamben and Amed the past four months, when I was last staying in Tulamben (three months ago)

I was there in October/November 2023 and there wasn't an ATM at Indomaret. If there's one now, it's certainly more convenient than going to Amed. Still no official money changers in Tulamben; for that a run to Amed is necessary (PT Assa Valas)

Liberty Dive Resort. Cost for 40 dives and 16 nights accommodation (with breakfast) was 23,618,000 rupiah which is under AU$2,350 or US$1,550.

I am booked in Tulamben in November , and was thinking of changing the booking to a place in Amed , I have dived both the last 2 weeks and enjoy both sites, where would you stay JonnieB knowing the area so well? Sorry if I hijacked the OPs topic.

We are booked for end of Dec. Starting in Nusa Penida. Then deciding whether Tulamben or Amed. Would appreciate any info you are picking up about choosing and what dive shop. Advanced diver.

Amed would be my pick.
This is the guy to speak to about this area, he knows it well, not me.

How deep can you dive?

My last trip to Bali in August last year we were diving to 100m from the shore with scooters and rebreathers, is that deep enough?

Heading back in a couple of weeks staying at the Seamount Resort in Amed.
