Mola mola spotted today in Tulamben 🤿
We were so lucky to see this ocean sunfish on the Tulamben Drop Off. Sightings in Amed and Tulamben aren’t very common, as they usually prefer deeper, colder water.
They’re more often seen around Nusa Penida, so spotting one here is always a surprise. This one came up shallower for a moment… just long enough to say hi.

Keep those messages coming 🤿
Bittersweet moment… 🥲
Watching your students go from their first breaths underwater to confidently diving on their own never gets old. It’s what every instructor hopes for… even if it means they don’t need you anymore.
Buoyancy is one of the hardest things to master for many divers, but once it clicks everything else starts to feel easier.
If you’re thinking about learning to dive in Bali, Amed is one of the best places to start.
How often do you think about diving? 🤿
Be honest… it’s not just us right? 😅
Somewhere between checking conditions, thinking about the next dive, and wishing we were already underwater.
Bigmouth mackerel schooling in Jemeluk Bay 🤿
Also known as longjawed mackerel (Rastrelliger kanagurta), these fish are frequently seen along the Jemeluk drop off in Amed, often moving in large, tightly packed schools along the reef edge.
They are widespread across the Indo-Pacific and are known for their fast, coordinated movements. One of their most distinctive features is their ability to open their jaws very wide, which they use when feeding on plankton.
Sightings like this are common when diving in Amed, especially along the drop off.
Bayu and Bayu there to service regulators…
left with a dance routine 😅
Don’t worry, their diving is better than their dancing 🤿
If you want to dive (or dance) with our Bayu’s in Amed (yes they share a name), send us a DM 🪸

We can all learn from the turtle theory 🐢
No rush.
No panic.
No worrying about who’s ahead.
Just steady movement — one stroke at a time.
Through chaos, through calm… they keep going.
And somehow, they always get where they need to be.
“Diving must be so peaceful”
Meanwhile… never a quiet moment in my mind
