The village of Amed is spread out along the coast and is made up of several bays, which are all sheltered from wind and waves, and are favorable for scuba diving. Relaxing and authentic in atmosphere, the diving is accessed from a traditional boat called a jukung (similar to a large canoe with stabilizers on either side). From its paradise-like, crystal-clear waters, its traditional salt-makers, and its view of the Mount Agung volcano, Amed is sure to give you a feeling for the traditional Balinese culture.
