We chose this place cause it was close to our villa.
We were 4 of us and 2 of us wanted to do the Open Water Cert and 2 of my friends just the discovery dive to the USAT wreck.
Due to the volcano we couldn't go to the USAT site but went to Padang bay.
Our instructor for the OW Cert was great. Patient and polite. We had fun.
My friends who came along for the discovery dive had a horrible time. It was far than horrible it was unsafe. Their instructor was rude to begin with. One friends suit didn't fit and he could hardly breath. They didn't have a spare. Couldn't believe that. Their instructor gave them a small briefing then straight into the deep sea. My friends had to learn directly in the ocean. They did no mask drills or regulator drills. Very unsafe.
The instructor took them straight down and didn't heed the 'go up' signals given by my friends at multiple times. He pulled them down and was pinching my woman friend if she used her arms to swim. They paid for 2 dives but only did one as they were scared.
While we had a good time my friends had a horrible time and i would say they were unsafe. Do not go with AMD-B. They don't care.
We emailed them and all they said was sorry and we will not renew the contract of the instructor. No offer of a partial refund even as they didn't do the 2nd dive due to the instructor. We didn't bother asking for one cause we don't want to deal with them anymore and are planning to complain to PADI as the instructor didn't go up when asked to which is very unsafe.

- Very friendly staff!
- Small groups (in my case we were only 4 people and two guides)
- The boat was in great condition, not the regular indonesian wooden boat that feels like it's tearing apart
- great value for money
- I will definitely come back

It's already 10 years that I dive in Bali, but only recently I had the pleasure to get wet with Aquamarine!
Knowing how professional they are I was still very happy with the top service and facilities they provide right from the start. The transfers with Bus and Boat were smooth and very well timed, the helpers very helpful and the guides have great eyes and one can feel that they love what they are doing! I can only recommend Aquamarine to everyone who wants to be safe and enjoy wonderful dives to the fullest!

We had an incredible 3 weeks diving all over Bali with AquaMarine. Annabel put together a fantastic adventure for us, including a private van, driver, and dive guide. By carrying tanks in the van, we were able to access dive sites that are not available to most divers because of no local infrastructure. We did the coast of the whole island, and had an experience like no other dive trip we had ever taken. Our guide was incredibly experienced, and it was a private trip for just two people for about the same price as staying at a dive resort. Highly recommended! These people know what they are doing.

Just finished my 9-day dive vacation organised by AquaMarine Dive Centre.
A big shout out to Tour Consultant Vini who saw to it that everything was planned right down to the minutest detail and taking care of everything including answering my enless questions and clarifying my doubts.
Special thanks go out to my 2 capable dive instructors Inal who went through 2 courses with me. The Nitrox Dive and Peak Performance Buoyancy. Thanks to him my diving has improved with better understanding of how things work.
My thanks to Herdy who accompanied me on the dives and saw to it that I was in close contact with the other divers.
I especially liked the accommodations at the different dive sites. They were spacious and complete in amenities and had a relaxing atmosphere.
This is my third outing with AquaMarine Dive and I hope my future engagements with them would even be more superlative!
Keep up the good work Vini!
You're the best!

We had a fantastic Friday! Thanks so much AquaMarine! Snorkeling in Blue Lagun with the kids was a great beginning of our holiday. So many colorful fishes and absolutely loved the boat. Thank you for convincing us to do this on Friday, the free barbecue was the cherry on top! Michelle will join you for Intro diving next week I know she is in good hands.

I'd always wanted to try diving. Bali seemed a beautiful and perfect spot for it. As I was going there anyway I did some research and chose Aquamarine Diving. They gave me the confidence to finally give it a go due to their careful and thorough instructions. I've not regretted it for a second! Maybe my first but definitely not my last diving experience. If I go back to Bali some day I'll turn to Aquamarine Diving for another great experience.
Thank you😊

I did an Introductory Dive in Blue Lagoon back in April 2015. The Divemaster, Putu, was absolutely amazing and showed such patience with everything from getting me into the gear to finally being under water.
Once under water he pointed out marine life that my untrained eye would have never seen and he assured that both dives were a wonderful experience - I couldn't (and still can't) believe that it has taken me more than 40 years to try diving.

From start to finish, my son's participation in Aquamarine's Bubblemaker program was a memorable and eye-opening experience for both my ten year old son Dian and his parents. Dian was fitted out with child-sized scuba diving equipment and got his first ever chance to experience real scuba diving under the direct care and supervision of a PADI Pro in water shallower than two meters. Learning by this method was a crucially important part of learning how to dive. Dian's instructor Pak Aan was very patient, repeating important details and exercises several times, explaining what was going to take place with always a special emphasis on safety." Safety first, fun later,” he said.
Dian’s training lasted two hours and my son breathed underwater for around 40 minutes. Most importantly, undertaking the program puts him on the right track towards diving certification, the hands-on instruction to qualify and prepare him for a proper dive course this fall in open water. I wish I could enrol him right now while the skills are still fresh in his head, but we have to wait until he’s a year older when he will be qualified to take the PADI Junior Open Water Diver course, enabling him to dive up to a depth of 12 meters. In addition to receiving valuable and practical diving instruction, the experience boosted Dian’s confidence.

Going snorkel twice with AquaMarine's fun guides (Putu-Rizal-Khotaman) made me want to explore more under water. After my Intro-dive at Blue Lagoon, I finally had my Open Water certified. The instructor, Marta, was knowledgeable, safety conscious, patient and helpful. The staff were amazing, friendly and fun too (from people behind the desk to people behind the steer). The equipment boys were so helpful that I could get my gears perfectly fit. Thank you AquaMarine for a great taste of scuba diving and enabling me to say: "I'm A Diver!" :D
Looking forward to my next dives with them again! :)

I have dived a number of dives with Aquamarine Diving -Bali and each time proved to be a thoroughly well organised and professional experience.
Starting with the pick up by AMD transport, clean well maintained vehicles. Friendly knowledgeable drivers, and water available for your journey.
Your dive guide is with you from start to finish to provide any help or information should you require any.
Dive Guides knowledge of the dive sites is top notch, and you feel you have space to dive, but a great guide to show you all those little special creatures, plus to help navigate currents or any tricky situations. After diving we spent time looking at photos, and ID-ing the various animals that we saw during our dives, again Guides have a great knowledge to help out with critter questions.
Lunch can either be a packed lunch which is pre-ordered or at a local eatery.
The dive guides drivers and support office staff always seem to be able to help out with any other issues, like ringing a restaurant for your evening return, or forgotten items left at the dive site etc
Very well run, and friendly operation which creates a great balance between being professional but personable and fun.

Did my PADI Open Water Course with AquaMarine when on a short Bali holiday last month. Everything was effortless. All the information needed was provided clearly (via email) and the sign up and studying (elearning) on the PADI website was very easy too.
I was picked up and dropped off at my hotel on all 3 days. Lunch, water and use of a towel was also included. The instructor, Mitra, was very competent and did not rush me (or the other student) at any stage so I felt very safe. It was a great experience all around.
As it happens, the other student was (as I) planning a return visit to Bali later in the year, so we will aim for doing our Advanced Course together, of course with Aquamarine. Looking forward to it already :) Thanks guys!

My hubby and I did an amazing best of Bali diving safari with Aquamarine last February. We had the best experience and tons of pics to show back home and make our fellow divers at the dive club jealous! Hope to do the same diving safari in October with the club and see the Mola Mola! Special thanks to our dive guide Putu. Keep up the good work Aquamarine!

My first experience of intro at Tulamben with AquaMarine is amazing.
Start from clear information from office, on time pick up, the patience guide and great option of lunch.
They know how to make me feel save on the ocean, even i am not good swimmer.
I wish i had longer time for my holiday in Bali to take the course.
Well done, and see you guys on next holiday.
Don't forget the beautiful USAT liberty and Tulamben is still the star.

I started diving with AquaMarine Diving - Bali in 2011 so I thought it time to let people know one of Bali's best kept secrets!
AMD-B have remained my favourite dive company whether I am on a dive safari or just a day dive. The service is always the same - fabulous! The Dive staff are some of the most experienced dive guides in Bali and I always feel safe and incredibly well looked after. Their dive site knowledge is second to none.
The service is amazing. The staff will carry your gear anywhere you want to go and nothing is too much trouble. The transports are comfortable and well maintained as is the dive gear. The big windows in the mini-buses are fabulous for sight seeing on the way to the dive sites - they even stop to let me take photos! I love boat diving with this company as their boats are very spacious and purpose built, with plenty of room to move about even with your kit on and I can make a coffee or hot chocolate. It's just like home!
I have seen some of the rarest and most sort after fish in the world diving with AMD staff - from the tiniest Pygmy Seahorses to the giant and wondrous Mola-Mola. Every dive with AMD is an adventure into another world.
AquaMarine Diving - Bali has always been my first choice when diving in Bali and I look forward to many more wonderful diving adventures with my Bali dive family. I recommend to anyone who wants to do their PADI dive courses, or to just enjoy a recreational dive to choose AMD-B. Great work and I hope to see you all again very soon.
