    This diving center is amazing! I got my open water course here, staff is just wonderful and friendly, they offer to pick you up, drinks and snacks between dives. My instructor was Adriana, she's great and taught me sooo much and told me so many things from her experiences. Ames is a great place to dive and/or get your license and I can certainly recommend Ecodive!

    My boyfriend and I did our Open water PADI here. Staff were super friendly and our instructor Adriana was the most knowledgeable, enthusiastic and yet calm and collected person! Could not have asked for a better value for what we learned and the bonus dives and very happy we picked EcoDive. Highly recommend this place and Adriana to anybody.

    Excellent diving centre. Very professional dive masters. We did 2 dives with Nico, and I had never met an instructor so thorough even if I had been diving for many years. He could even draw the dive sites to explain us the dive. Very caring and funny, too. Merci Nico! You made our experience exceptional. 🐳🙏🐠 Many thanks also to my dive master for the night dive. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was magical. 🦞🙏🪸

    We just had the best experience in this place! We had a taylor made service for each of us without even asking. My mom, who can't swim well, wanted to snorkel, she got the best guide who took care of her all day long. My dad, husband and me wanted to dive and we had the best guide as well. Not only was she amazingly friendly but also a great teacher!

    We chose Ecodive for our first diving experience and it was the best choice! The instructor Nico explained everything to us and was always super patient and attentive during the dives. I recommend!

    I highly recommend Eco Dive Bali! Recently, I completed my Advanced OW course at Eco Dive Amed in Bali. My awesome instructor, Laurent, was incredibly patient, friendly, welcoming, and encouraging. During my time there, I met many fantastic new friends and had the pleasure of diving with instructor Nate a couple of times. What a nice and fun guy as well! Moreover, I wanted to express my deepest gratitude to John & Nate for the kind invitation to join the Balinese event. From arriving as a stranger to departing feeling like family, it was an absolute honor. I cherished every moment spent among such wonderful company. Moreover, my partner had an incredible experience with Ketut Lain Chong during her introduction to scuba diving. Despite her initial fear of water, Ketut was extremely patient and gentle. Thanks to his guidance, she was able to overcome her fears and dive for a remarkable 40 minutes! I couldn’t be prouder of her achievement. Thank you immensely for your warmth and hospitality during the event. Until we meet again, my best regards to each and every one of you. Warmly, David Chong

    I did my deep dive specialty with the owner which was very nice. While talking to all the nice people in the dive center I met Nate who was very passionate about driving underwater scooters. So I did the DPV specialty the day after. It was amazing and I can highly recommend to ask for Nate and go and drive a DPV. Added a video for a frame of reference. The people at the dive center are all very professional and take your security and comfort into account. Next to that they speak English and French very well which is very nice when you are trying to learn a new skill :)

    Had an amazing time ! Nate my instructor was very kind and patient and made sure I was ok at every step on the way. The Ship Wreck is a must see and I couldn’t have lived this experience better if I didn’t do it with Eco dive as I was alone with Nate. The whole staff is also amazing ! Would definitely recommend and will come back here for sure !

    I can't believe how awesome Eco Diving Center is! Naomi, my 10-year-old daughter, got her PADI Open Water certification from the amazing teacher, Andrea. These guys are total pros, super friendly, and the prices are just right. Seriously, the people and the center are both so great. Couldn't be happier with the experience! 🌊🤿👌

    Best diving center in Amed! Look no further. I took my PADI Advanced certification course, and received excellent training from Laurent. John, the owner, is also a great guy, excellent at navigating currents! I’ll be coming back.

    I did my PADI Open Water Diver course with Ecodive in February 2024 & it was an amazing experience from start to finish. I would encourage you to take the plunge & explore a whole new world underwater! :) Big thanks to John, Laurent & every single team member at Ecodive for taking such good care of me! Here are some of my thoughts: 1. Instructor I was taught by Laurent & he is an experienced teacher who is very patient to ensure that I get all the techniques & drills done right. He is very assuring & always keeps a lookout for my safety. He's a wonderful person to hang out with & he has many great stories to tell of his diving adventures! 2. Facilities & Equipment You only need to bring your swimwear & towel & Ecodive will provide everything else for you. Equipment is clean & well-maintained. Drinks (water, coffee, tea) & snacks (fruits, biscuits) are provided as well. There's a shower onsite & you can take a rinse after you're done diving. 3. Course: Theory I highly recommend that you get enrolled in the e-learning theory portion of the course at least a week before you start your practical. This will give you ample time to go through the material & get a better understanding of diving so that you are more prepared when you arrive. It also helps to free-up time so that you can enjoy your stay in Amed without having to spend time doing theory in the afternoons. 4. Course: Practical Ecodive will arrange to pick you up from your hotel at 8.30am & lessons will run till around 1pm. Each dive will last around 50 minutes. Day 1 - Introductions & assessment of 21 questions to ensure that you went through & understood the material - Fitting of scuba gear - Training dives 1 & 2 @ Jemeluk Beach - Lots of drills Day 2 - Open water dives 1 & 2 @ Jemeluk Beach - A few more drills - Dive to a depth of 12 metres Day 3 - Open water dives 3 & 4 @ Tulamben - Final few drills - Explore USAT Liberty shipwreck (amazing!) - Dive to a depth of 18 metres 5. Course Fees - US$375, all-inclusive, no extra/hidden fees - I chose to do e-learning first, so paid a deposit of US$100 - Paid the remaining US$275 upon course completion 6. Certification - Once you've completed everything & are deemed proficient by your instructor, you will be issued with you PADI certification on the spot - You will receive your eCard via email or download the PADI app - Congratulations, you are now an Open Water Diver! Hope this helps you to get a better understanding of what the PADI Open Water Diver course at Ecodive is like & I do hope that you will make Amed your next holiday destination! See you in the water, Nick :)

    Thank you for making my birthday amazing. It was my first time diving. Some initial nervousness, but felt safe under Blacky's instruction and watchful eye. Very professional and would recommend Ecodive Amed to anyone.

    Amazing experience with EcoDive! I did my open water as well as my advanced open water with Nathan who is a great instructor! The team is great, a great welcome and professional people! I recommend 100% 🙏🏼

  • 5/5 Miranda Jie-Lin L. 2 months ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    I did a week of fun dives + the PADI rescue diver course with Ecodive. Ketut and Made are amazing, fun, responsible guides and Laurent is a wonderful instructor. Groups are very small (usually 1:2 guide:diver ratio, sometimes 1:1 if experience levels between divers differed). John organized us to go to different dive sites based on our interests and provided many options! Highly recommend them for diving in the Amed/Tulamben area.

    The most amazing dive! SCUBA Nate was an awesome instructor. I was super nervous but his instructions were so clear, I felt comfortable and safe

  • 5/5 joe v. 6 months ago on Google
    Easily best dive center I’ve worked with. Their attentiveness to the customer, attention to detail, and over all family vibe made diving with this center feel like home or just diving with friends. I highly recommend this highly professional team to anyone diving in Bali. Special thanks to Nate for above and beyond to make me feel welcomed. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. Thanks for the memories!!

  • 5/5 Adrienne D. 3 years ago on Google
    Learned to dive here some years ago and keep coming back. Very professional, comfortable, welcoming and relaxed atmosphere with a high regard for safety and tailoring to the needs of the customer. Ecodive was one of the first diving shops in the area and has a great reputation. They have skilled gear technicians on site to maintain the gear, and have their own compressor. John the owner is friendly and helpful man that has a wealth of knowledge about the area and all things in the sea. Indah his daughter carries on the tradition with enthusiasm and a calming presence that is especially perfect for the nervous first time diver. This is a family business and a shop that people tend to hang out in. There are many others like me, that keep returning back. There are many reasons why. 💕

    Great first diving experience completing Open Water Course with Pedro from Ecodive. Brilliantly organised centre with most friendly and welcoming staff, definitely recommend!!!

    Visited Amed over the 2023 Chinese New Year holiday weekend to do my open water diver certificate. I chose Ecodive based on large number of positive reviews. I had a great, smooth experience. John was good to deal with in answering my questions on WhatsApp and making arrangements. Hotel pickup and drop off each day was very efficient, on time every day and at no additional cost. My instructor, Wayan, was excellent. Really lovely guy who obviously has a tonne of diving experience and is an excellent teacher, very calming approach and with excellent English communication. We had a newer instructor join our group too, David, who I buddied up with on some exercises as I was on my own. David was also great and I expect will be another good addition to Ecodive's group of instructors. We managed to do 5 dives in our training, including 2 on the USAT Liberty wreck. All dives were so beautiful, super calm and excellent visibility. I'm already now figuring out when to return to do my advanced certificate!

  • 5/5 Carlie D. 1 year ago on Google
    Super professional team. Does all PADI levels of certification which means there are some really experienced staff working. The owner is Canadian and our dive master was fabulous, spoke perfect English and was great running us through a refresh as we hadn't been diving since COVID. We did two spectacular dives and rented a gopro which our dive master happily took photos while we were under. When we return we will definitely go with them again! Thank you eco dive!

  • 5/5 Sylvain C. 5 years ago on Google
    What are you looking for when you pick your diving instructor ? I had three clear priorities Safety, professionalism and kindness. Eco dove is the place to go in that case. John is one of the most experienced diver in Asia and he has trained most of the other instructors in Bali. He makes no compromises on Safety with state of the art material and his meditation practice helps him keep the same kindness with all divers, be they adventurous or fainthearted. John is Canadian and speaks fluent French and English (as well as Indonesian, Balinese and German). He has personally retrained all his instructors and they share the same kindness and mindset. When we decided our 3 kids will be trained for scuba diving we also decided EcoDive was the only place to go.

    I did two dives with Eco Dive - the Liberty and the wall. I'm not normally a wreck driver, but I loved the Liberty. The wall was great - we saw two big octopus, in the open. The water was so warm! John helped me arrange my diving in advance and sent someone to pick me up at my hotel which was great since it was pouring rain. Katut was an excellent guide. After my first dive I was stressed because my depth gauge didn't work (and my computer battery died). Katut swapped out my reg for the second dive so I had a working guage - I really appreciated this! When I mentioned to Wayan at the shop that my gauge didn't work, he thanked me for reporting it. I was impressed by this as I've dived with companies who get annoyed when clients point out any equipment issues. I was a little surprised that we didn't have a clear plan to exit the dive - no 'tell the guide when you have 100 bar because we want all divers to exit with at least 50 bar' but maybe not everywhere does this? It could be country- or region-specific. Eco Dive is friendly and professional - I recommend them to anyone who wants to dive around Amed. Thanks, John and team!

    Had a FANTASTIC time with Ecodive Bali! Did a total of 6 dives with them during our time in Amed ! And I’m in awe of the biodiversity at this place it was incredible, I loved every second of it. The team were also very professional and the service they provided was great. Would highly recommend you to others and I hope to be back.

  • 5/5 Helen B. 11 months ago on Google
    We spent a week doing our wreck and deep dive specialty with Eco Dive and cannot say enough good things about them. John was responsive and so helpful getting us booked onto our courses and providing information about them and greeted us with a huge smile immediately making us feel welcome. The staff at the dive center were so sweet and helpful. Most of all though, our instructor Niko was the very best. He is an incredibly experienced diver and instructor and made us feel safe and confident while keeping us laughing throughout. I feel so lucky to have found Eco Dive and to have had such a talented, excellent instructor. For an amazing dive experience with professional, stellar instructors don’t hesitate to book with Eco Dive.

  • 5/5 Xifan Y. 3 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    I had an amazing experience doing my Open Water Certification with Ecodive. Being completely new to scuba diving I had no idea what to expect and thought it was a group course with a bunch of other students. However, and that's different from other diving schools, the instructors at Ecodive mostly teach one-on-one (or couples, small group of friends) which is really a luxury when even the basics of scuba diving can be overwhelming on the first days. Nathan, my instructor, was a fantastic teacher: attentive, patient, passionate about what he does. Staff took care of everything from taking the equipment to the beach to cleaning it after each dives. Pick-up from the hotel was smooth, lunch at the dive center affordable and excellent. I had a great time and will hopefully come back for my Advanced Open Diver Certification.

    Wow! Fantastic time with Dive Instructor Nate! Very chill, really good experience. Lots of turtles and rays and beautiful coral as we moved through the underwater world of Bali. The DPVs (scooters) are a real treat and worth the extra effort to obtain a ride. The whole dive shop family is very friendly with really awesome facilities and right by the water. Go get it!
