Amed and Tulamben dive season
Bali can be divided into a rainy season (November to April) and a dry season (May to October).
In the rainy season, the water temperature is warm and you can dive without worrying about the cold. Plankton increases, which increases aquatic life, but visibility decreases.
In the dry season, the water temperature drops slightly, but the visibility improves accordingly.
The water temperature is relatively warm throughout the year. However, since photography dive involves very little movement, you should use your own 3 or 5 mm wetsuit and prepare hood to protect yourself from the cold.
East Bali Dive areas and Dive sites
East Bali is divided into five major diving areas: Kubu, Tulamben, Seraya, Laba-Sari, Amed, and Bunutan. Each area has several dive sites, totaling more than 35 dive sites. Each dive site has a different bottom composition, shape, and underwater environment, so the underwater creatures that live there will vary depending on the dive site.
