Tulamben / Amed - Boat Diving

Any recommended Tulamben / Amed - Boat Diving?

Thanks.

Amed/Tulamben is mostly about shore diving. There are a few sites, a little further afield, that are dived from boats. If you prefer to dive off a boat (maybe because of physical limitations), any shop can arrange to dive all sites by boat at extra cost.

Make sure the type of boat is what you need. I remember diving in Amed from a Jukung. If you prefer a boat for physical reasons over shore diving, a jukung would not make you happy!

Not much but junkungs...but maybe there's a zodiak available somewhere.

Shore dive is NOT everyone cup of tea.
Why would anyone believe it has anything to do with physical restriction? Biased and short sighted.
I certainly do not enjoy shore dive.

I saw at least a few proper dive boats everyday when I was there last year.

That's also my experience. I did not particularly enjoy the mini bus commute and shore entry when there's swell that day and I'm carrying a DSLR.

That's why I'm interested in boat dives.

Every once in awhile, a small proper dive boat will pull up and drop divers at a site. They are attached to the larger dedicated dive resorts and a couple may be with shops.

True. Still I think it is better to assume a physical restriction for somone who doesn't like shore diving than the opposite. Not everyone with a physical condition wants to talk about it on a public forum.

Make sure to ask for a proper dive boat as a dive from a jukung is a boat dive, but we went to the beach by Mini bus and boarded the boat with a shore entry. Although we didn't have to carry our Tanks (some balinese women carried them on their head. Another special Bali-experience. Like the boys in Tulamben transporting them on their mopeds....)

Villa Markisa has good boats, as well as Seraya’s Secret for a terrific “house reef.”
