  Highlight of my time in Bali! I originally came to Diving with Jim to complete my Open Water certification. I enjoyed the experience so much that I ended up staying to complete my Advanced Open Water too. It took me just five days to complete both courses, but it never felt rushed. Quite the opposite. I genuinely enjoyed every minute of it, so much so that I would have happily kept diving if my time in Bali had allowed. A huge thank you to Jim, who was always incredibly responsive, organised, and helpful. Everything was planned perfectly from the very beginning, making the whole experience completely stress-free. A special thank you to my instructor, Yosep. He was cheerful, patient, funny, encouraging, and incredibly attentive. He briefed me before every dive, always made sure I felt comfortable before moving on, and somehow managed to make every dive both a lesson and a lot of fun. I came here expecting a great dive course, but I left with so much more. The team creates an atmosp

  I did my PADI certification with Jim 10 years ago in Bali, Amed, and since then I have been coming back almost every year, sometimes with a one year break in between, to dive with Jim personally. Jim is extremely competent, and his whole team is very well trained. I always feel comfortable, safe, and well looked after. They provide professional and modern equipment, and I think the price is absolutely fair for the quality and experience you receive. Diving with them is always so much fun. There is a very warm and family like atmosphere, and after every dive we are served a delicious local lunch to help us regain our energy. Over the years, everyone there has become very dear to me, and they truly feel like a big family. Thank you so much for all these wonderful experiences, both underwater and on land.

  I had an amazing experience diving here and couldn’t be happier with the service. I did several dives with this dive center, and from the beginning, the communication was excellent clear, friendly, and very professional. The dive guide was outstanding: attentive, calm, and made me feel safe and comfortable throughout every dive. What really impressed me was the value for money. The price was very reasonable and already included full equipment, as well as pick up and drop off around the Amed area to the dive sites. Compared to other dive centers, this was a great deal. On top of that, they went above and beyond by providing extras that made the whole experience even more enjoyable free lunch, complimentary GoPro usage, and refreshments like watermelon, coffee, and tea between dives. These small details made a big difference and showed how much they care about their guests. Overall, I’m happy with my experience and would highly recommend this dive center to anyone. I will definitely

  Great service and experience diving with Jim. I had Leo as my guide and he was nothing but the best. Very relaxed, easy going and a lot of knowledge about the dive sites. Not a single stress every day, they told you what time to meet the day before and when you arrived, the truck was prepared with all my gear, snacks, water and a briefing for what the day was about. The lunch was amazing after diving made at the shop as well. Would recommend to anyone trying to dive in Amed!
