You must be able to swim 200m without stopping to participate in an entry level certifying course such as the Padi Open Water course (any technique is fine and there is no timing).
However, if you just want to try diving, there is no swimming requirement : an intructor will assist you during the whole Intro Dive program.
EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We did the Advanced Open Water Couse followed by several fun dives (wreck, boat, night). The instructor Roda, guides Nyamen, Kede and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. The communication over Whatsapp (questions, booking dives, etc.) was easy and always super fast. The pick up service was always on time. Coffee, tea, water and cookies were availabe at most dive sites during the break. We always felt save, welcome and will definitly come back! 100% recommended.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I really enjoyed my fun dive with yosep,he is so helpful,patience and fun. Loved that it's one dive master one diver,and you could choose where you want to dive. The services is great and if you stay at amed they will pick you up at your hotel. I really enjoy and having fun when dive with white amed and I have a plan to get my advance hereTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Experience fantastique avec Pierre et Koko. Nous avons plongé au liberty et c’était tout simplement génial. Les instructeurs sont minutieux, à l’écoute et nous ont tout de suite fait sentir à l’aise. Pierre nous a partagé des tas de conseilles sur quoi faire sur Amed, et en plus il y a réalisé une vidéo tout bonnement incroyable. Merci et à bientôt !Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have done 150 plus dives and dived in a few different countries. Rauh was such an expert, friendly dive guide and so patient and helpful with a 50 plus year old lady who hasn’t dived for 2 years. He helped me get in and out of the water with my dive gear. There are 30 dive shops in the Amed area. We chose this one because it happened to be closest to our accommodation and we had had a quick chat with them. They can come and pick you up or drop you off to your accommodation. We talked to a regular traveller to Amed and found out this dive shop is owned, run and staffed by locals so if you use them you are 100% supporting the locals. Day 1 we dived at the Japanese wreck - the wreck itself is small and not that interesting but has great marine life and is nestled on a coral reef - also a great place to snorkel. Saw a glimpse of a turtle. 2nd dive was at Jemeluk Bay. Day 2 we drove 30 min north to Sidem Macro Point where this is less rain water run off and therefore better visibility. Left side where the fishing boats are had a lot of dead coral but we did see a baby cuttlefish, a trumpet fish and some pipefish. Right side was gorgeous with lots of tropical fish. Highlight was seeing a giant turtle resting on the coral then another giant turtle resting under a ledge. Also saw two different lion fish. Another diver spotted a mola mola - sun fish - earlier that morning. Earlier this year another dive guide saw a whale shark! They also have underwater cameras to rent.

Con WSD non ho fatto una semplice immersione, ma ho conseguito il brevetto open water PADI per me e con i miei due figli, quindi questa è una recensione approfondita. Abbiamo avuto modo di stare con il team per tre giorni e 5 immersioni, testando la professionalità di Made Bukti il nostro dive master e del suo assistente. Attenti, precisi e molto attenti al nostro percorso. Abbiamo trovato giornate non bellissime e quindi le condizioni del mare erano di conseguenza non ottimali, Made ha sempre scelto per offrirci le condizioni migliori possibili. Le attrezzature sono al livello standard di Amed, magari non nuovissime, ma sempre in ordine e ben manutenute. Mi sento di consigliare vivamente questo Dive center e spero di tornare presto.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We did the Padi open water dive course and were very happy! The confined water dives were in the shallow in the ocean instead of the pool which was scary at first, but very useful later. Our final dive was at the Liberty wreck. The instructor knew very well what he was doing and was able to calm us down when necessary. A great place to learn diving thanks!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing experience with Amed White Sand Divers! From the moment we arrived, the team made us feel welcome and at ease. A special shoutout to our incredible instructor, Kadek, who went above and beyond to make our dives unforgettable. His professionalism, patience, and deep knowledge of the underwater world were truly impressive. Kadek made sure we felt confident and safe every step of the way, and his passion for diving was contagious! The dive sites were stunning, with vibrant marine life and crystal-clear waters. The equipment was top-notch, and everything was well-organized. I highly recommend Amed White Sand Divers to anyone looking for a first-class diving experience in Amed. Thank you, Kadek and the team, for an unforgettable adventure!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience with Kadek here, he was very patient to teach all techniques with details to us! Highly recommended.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bien sûr nous avons fait des expériences de plongée inoubliables, exceptionnelles puisque les sites le sont. Mais ce que nous avons adoré avec AWSD c'est l'esprit amical, la facilité pour organiser les plongées, la diversité des options offertes. N'étant que Level 1 open water, j'ai bénéficié de 2 guides pour ma 1ère sorties ! Ma femme qui manque de confiance a été accompagnée en snorkeling par Jil, adorable. Rauh qui m'a accompagné les 2 jours a en plus fait le cameraman avec la GoPro que j'avais louée pour que je puisse avoir des souvenirs et des images incroyables. Quelle gentillesse. Pour couronner le tout, nous avons partagé le soir un repas avec toute l'équipe qui nous a préparé du poisson acheté sur la plage à la mode balinaise. Un moment de partage inoubliable. On s'est séparés plein d'émotions. Merci à tous. On vous emporte dans nos cœurs.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic diving school! I did my Open Water 3-day course here and I was the only student at the time, so the instructor had all the time for me and he made sure that I understood everything properly, with a lot of patience. Not to mention diving (and snorkeling) around Amed is also paradise🤩 I had a great time and I want to thank Longshore for his lessons and patience with me!
