Join us on a captivating journey through Bali's diverse landscapes, both above and below the water's surface.
This video explores the vibrant Ubud, tranquil Munduk, renowned Tulamben, and the hidden gem Amed.
Originally intended for friends and family, I've decided to share this experience with fellow scuba divers, showcasing how to seamlessly blend land adventures with underwater explorations.
Please note that this is an HDR video and it is best to watch it on HDR-compatible TVs, monitors, tables or phones.
Our Journey:
Ubud: We stayed at The Kayan Resort, serving as a base to explore the region.
Travel between Ubud and Munduk: We ventured into the scenic Jatiluwih Rice Terraces and the serene Ulun Danu Beratan Temple.
Munduk: At Munduk Moding Plantation Resort, we immersed ourselves in nature, trekking to Munduk waterfalls, interacting with a local farmer's family, and indulging in a coffee plantation tour.
Tulamben: Bali Dive Resort provided comfortable accommodations and an exceptional dive center. Tulamben's renowned muck and macro diving sites were a highlight.
Amed: We enjoyed our stay at Puri Wirata Dive Resort, although we found the dive center less impressive. Amed is a popular destination for beginner and occasional scuba divers. However, it also boasts several excellent dive sites, including: Coral Gardens at the Japanese Wreck Bunutan Pyramids Wall Jemeluk Wall These four sites are best explored by boat. Additionally, Melasti is a renowned muck/macro dive site. I personally enjoyed exploring all five of these sites.
Dive Insights:I'll be releasing a dedicated video showcasing the best Amed’s dive sites in detail, so you can visualize what to expect.For an enriching dive experience in Amed, I recommend exploring each site at least twice, allowing 4-7 days for a trip to Amed.
