Why dive here
With 246+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue-spotted stingrays, bull sharks, grey reef sharks, manta rays and mobula rays (devil rays) - Amed offers some of Lombok & Gili Islands's richest reef diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest April, November, December.
Amed, on the quieter side of the Gilis, offers a good dive without the crowds of some neighbours. Descending into the shallow bay of Cemeluk, we found dense staghorn corals, thick with cardinalfish. It’s a good spot for spotting striped convict tangs and the vivid orange-lined triggerfish darting among the corals. Further out, the reef drops into a steep wall, draped in hydroids and sea fans, a decent drift past tuna and black and white snappers. It’s a solid pick for those looking for a relaxed dive with consistent visibility, less frantic than the Gili Trawangan sites.
