Location

Jukung Dive is located in Amed, the centre of the best diving spots in East Bali. From our dive centre in Amed it is a bustrip of maximum 20 min. to the village of Tulamben, the location of 5 excellent divesites of which the wreck of the USS ‘’Liberty’’ is the most welknown. Other divesites, such as Coral Garden,  Tulamben Drop Off, Batu Kelebit, Alamanda Emerald, Kubu (Monkey Reef) and Seraya can be reached in the same time or less. So diving and staying in Amed saves you at least 5 hours per day compared to divers who stay in Nusa Dua, Sanur or the Kuta-area. This time can be well spent on other activities

Jukung Dive offers next to the amazing dives a variety of other activities:

* Climbing of the Gunung Agung Volcano
* Excursions to the Royal Palace Tirtaganga Ujung
* Excursions to Tenganan (Bali Aga Village)
* Excursions to the Mother Temple Besakih and the Gunung Batur Volcano
* Village walks, ricefield trekking
* Motorbike rental
* Boat trips

The exceptional rich underwater flora and fauna in this region of Bali's waters is a result of the combination of the 'Indonesian trough flow', and it's location (only 8 degrees from the equator in the world's richest marine bio-geographic zone). The Indonesian 'trough flow' pushes plankton rich water from the Pacific Ocean to the Indian Ocean through the Lombok strait (between Bali and Lombok). This plankton attracts fish, attracting bigger fish, attracting bigger fish and so on. Taken together, these factors take credit for a single bay harbouring more species than they say- the entire Hawaiian island chains.
