Dive-site story
Located along the quiet coastline of Amed in East Bali, Jemeluk Bay features a sheltered black-pebble beach that gives direct access to a sloping coral reef and a dramatic drop-off. In the shallow center of the bay, an artificial reef project includes submerged Balinese sculptures and a mailbox structure encrusted with hard corals and sponges. Following the reef eastward brings divers onto Jemeluk Wall, a steep coral-encrusted descent intersected by gorgonian fans and crevices where macro life thrives.
Submerged Balinese temple statues and shrines decorated in soft corals
Steep wall on the outer edge with large sea fans harboring pygmy seahorses
Convenient shore entry from a protected bay with minimal surf
Location

Seasonality
