Amed wall

The Amed Wall in Bali, well, it’s a bit of a local hero for us. It’s not the biggest, deepest wall you’ll ever dive, but it has this quiet charm that keeps us coming back. You drop in and it just slopes away, covered in branching staghorn and big table corals. We've often found ourselves just drifting, eyes peeled for the little things. It’s an absolute magnet for nudibranchs – we’ve seen bicolor nudibranchs and even the tiny *Costasiella paweli* grazing on algae, if you look close enough. The wall is etched with small ledges and crevices, perfect hiding spots for rosy frogfish or a freckled anglerfish. We particularly love the schooling glassy cardinalfish that shelter in the overhangs, shimmering in the shafts of light. While currents can pick up occasionally, it’s generally a pretty relaxed drift, making it great for photographers who want to take their time. Our favourite time to hit it is early morning, before the dive boats from further afield arrive, when the light is softer and the reef feels like it’s just waking up.
