" We chose this place cause it was close to our villa.
We were 4 of us and 2 of us wanted to do the Open Water Cert and 2 of my friends just the discovery dive to the USAT wreck.
Due to the volcano we couldn't go to the USAT site but went to Padang bay.
Our instructor for the OW Cert was great. Patient and polite. We had fun.
My friends who came along for the discovery dive had a horrible time. It was far than horrible it was unsafe. Their instructor was rude to begin with. One friends suit didn't fit and he could hardly breath. They didn't have a spare. Couldn't believe that. Their instructor gave them a small briefing then straight into the deep sea. My friends had to learn directly in the ocean. They did no mask drills or regulator drills. Very unsafe.
The instructor took them straight down and didn't heed the 'go up' signals given by my friends at multiple times. He pulled them down and was pinching my woman friend if she used her arms to swim. They paid for 2 dives but only did one as they were scared.
While we had a good time my friends had a horrible time and i would say they were unsafe. Do not go with AMD-B. They don't care.
We emailed them and all they said was sorry and we will not renew the contract of the instructor. No offer of a partial refund even as they didn't do the 2nd dive due to the instructor. We didn't bother asking for one cause we don't want to deal with them anymore and are planning to complain to PADI as the instructor didn't go up when asked to which is very unsafe. "

" Just finished my 9-day dive vacation organised by AquaMarine Dive Centre.
A big shout out to Tour Consultant Vini who saw to it that everything was planned right down to the minutest detail and taking care of everything including answering my enless questions and clarifying my doubts.
Special thanks go out to my 2 capable dive instructors Inal who went through 2 courses with me. The Nitrox Dive and Peak Performance Buoyancy. Thanks to him my diving has improved with better understanding of how things work.
My thanks to Herdy who accompanied me on the dives and saw to it that I was in close contact with the other divers.
I especially liked the accommodations at the different dive sites. They were spacious and complete in amenities and had a relaxing atmosphere.
This is my third outing with AquaMarine Dive and I hope my future engagements with them would even be more superlative!
Keep up the good work Vini!
You're the best!

" It's already 10 years that I dive in Bali, but only recently I had the pleasure to get wet with Aquamarine!
Knowing how professional they are I was still very happy with the top service and facilities they provide right from the start. The transfers with Bus and Boat were smooth and very well timed, the helpers very helpful and the guides have great eyes and one can feel that they love what they are doing! I can only recommend Aquamarine to everyone who wants to be safe and enjoy wonderful dives to the fullest! "

" We had a fantastic Friday! Thanks so much AquaMarine! Snorkeling in Blue Lagun with the kids was a great beginning of our holiday. So many colorful fishes and absolutely loved the boat. Thank you for convincing us to do this on Friday, the free barbecue was the cherry on top! Michelle will join you for Intro diving next week I know she is in good hands. "

" Going snorkel twice with AquaMarine's fun guides (Putu-Rizal-Khotaman) made me want to explore more under water. After my Intro-dive at Blue Lagoon, I finally had my Open Water certified. The instructor, Marta, was knowledgeable, safety conscious, patient and helpful. The staff were amazing, friendly and fun too (from people behind the desk to people behind the steer). The equipment boys were so helpful that I could get my gears perfectly fit. Thank you AquaMarine for a great taste of scuba diving and enabling me to say: "I'm A Diver!" :D
Looking forward to my next dives with them again! :) "

" I have dived a number of dives with Aquamarine Diving -Bali and each time proved to be a thoroughly well organised and professional experience.
Starting with the pick up by AMD transport, clean well maintained vehicles. Friendly knowledgeable drivers, and water available for your journey.
Your dive guide is with you from start to finish to provide any help or information should you require any.
Dive Guides knowledge of the dive sites is top notch, and you feel you have space to dive, but a great guide to show you all those little special creatures, plus to help navigate currents or any tricky situations. After diving we spent time looking at photos, and ID-ing the various animals that we saw during our dives, again Guides have a great knowledge to help out with critter questions.
Lunch can either be a packed lunch which is pre-ordered or at a local eatery.
The dive guides drivers and support office staff always seem to be able to help out with any other issues, like ringing a restaurant for your evening return, or forgotten items left at the dive site etc
Very well run, and friendly operation which creates a great balance between being professional but personable and fun. "

" My hubby and I did an amazing best of Bali diving safari with Aquamarine last February. We had the best experience and tons of pics to show back home and make our fellow divers at the dive club jealous! Hope to do the same diving safari in October with the club and see the Mola Mola! Special thanks to our dive guide Putu. Keep up the good work Aquamarine! "

" I started diving with AquaMarine Diving - Bali in 2011 so I thought it time to let people know one of Bali's best kept secrets!
AMD-B have remained my favourite dive company whether I am on a dive safari or just a day dive. The service is always the same - fabulous! The Dive staff are some of the most experienced dive guides in Bali and I always feel safe and incredibly well looked after. Their dive site knowledge is second to none.
The service is amazing. The staff will carry your gear anywhere you want to go and nothing is too much trouble. The transports are comfortable and well maintained as is the dive gear. The big windows in the mini-buses are fabulous for sight seeing on the way to the dive sites - they even stop to let me take photos! I love boat diving with this company as their boats are very spacious and purpose built, with plenty of room to move about even with your kit on and I can make a coffee or hot chocolate. It's just like home!
I have seen some of the rarest and most sort after fish in the world diving with AMD staff - from the tiniest Pygmy Seahorses to the giant and wondrous Mola-Mola. Every dive with AMD is an adventure into another world.
AquaMarine Diving - Bali has always been my first choice when diving in Bali and I look forward to many more wonderful diving adventures with my Bali dive family. I recommend to anyone who wants to do their PADI dive courses, or to just enjoy a recreational dive to choose AMD-B. Great work and I hope to see you all again very soon. "
