then 15 mins on a local road, so Amed is much prettier than Tulamben. It is also a sand beach as opposed to Tulamben's stony one. On the outskirts of Amed, you can see traditional salt-panning and buy sea salt as a souvenir of your visit!
As recently as 1997 the reef within the shallow bay at Amed (more accurately called Jemeluk) was extremely healthy - full of hard corals, magnificent barrel sponges and gorgonian fans. However, in 1998, Amed was badly affected by coral-bleaching as a result of El Nino that affected the reef within the bay and down to 10-12M. The reef is slowly recovering but we cannot yet tell when it will reach its former glory.
The Amed Reef, this small coral reef lies in depths ranging from 12-22M. In this area you will find many different kinds of sponges and gorgonians and the marine life includes everything from gobies and shrimp as well as anemones with attendant clownfish to schools of barracuda and Blue Spotted Ray. Many different kinds of parrotfish, angelfish, surgeonfish and moray eel.

Amed is also call Cemeluk. It takes 2.5 hours drive from YOS Diving Centre. The reef of Amed curves around a rock out-cropping. The drop-off is to about 50 meters and is populated by staggering numbers of fish and the widest variety in Bali. Currents in Amed are only occasional. The dive sites can be reached directly from the beach or by boat. This is an excellent dive spot, especially for macro underwater photography. The variety of fishes in groups together with the pleasant low current is an utmost experience for beginners as well as experienced divers. |
