Scuba Diving in Amed, Bali - PADI Courses & Fun Dives

Wow wow wow! What an incredible experience! Yan was a brilliant instructor from start to finish 🌟 This was our first time scuba diving and I got quite panicked when first going into the water and wasn't sure if I would be able to continue... but Yan was so patient, calm and understanding and helped me get through not just one, but two dives! He was constantly checking that we were okay and even let my husband and I swim about holding hands as he knew I was nervous 😂🥰 He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the ocean and is a local to Amed so knows the area very well. He explained the equipment and safety instructions very clearly and was constantly helping us when our ears were hurting from the pressure. So grateful to Yan for this experience and would recommend to anyone wanting to try scuba diving around this area! Terimakasih (Thank you!) 🙏🏻

We did refresher and beginner dives with Wayan and Komeng. Our youngest one went snorkeling with us. All was perfect, we were so well taken care of!!! Great explanation, then into the sea, did our exercises and then went on a fun dive. Many pretty fishes.
It was a fantastic morning. Thank you so much!
I would definitely recommend this dive shop to everyone, and especially with children.
When we come back we will do the Padi with you Wayan!

We dived at Gili Selang, where we experienced Yan's calmness and professionalism in extreme, swirling currents, Thanks!
Great Wall off the club's shore. Fantastic!
Will come back to Scuba Odyssey for sure!

My husband and I dove two days with Yan and his Scuba Odessey team. Our dives were great! First dive day was the wreck dive, on the USS Liberty. So big! My very first wreck too. Yan was attentive and very helpful as we are in our mid/60’s and not as agile as we used to be. He even brought me the BC into the water to put on as I have lower back issues. (All are shore dives btw) Second dive day was the Jemeluk Bay/Wall dives. We saw so many fish, including large seahorses. Yan had three groups that day, yet we all felt very cared for… no small feat. The lunch his wife makes for us afterwards is EXCELLENT!
The only downside may be that the drive on the first day is a bit bumpy (road conditions) and shore diving can be tough if rocky & large waves but neither of these are Yan’s fault and did not deter us in the least. We would gladly dive with this outfit again in the future. Yan was recommended to us by a very seasoned divemaster and we appreciated this guidance. Thanks Yan & team Scuba Odessey!

We had a great experience diving with Yan. He is a well experienced and reliable local dive master. He arranged for another diving instructor to dive with our daughter who is 11 and has a junior open water and can only dive 12m. We had fun as a family.

His shop has only recently been built and is new and nice. His equipments are also new (my wet suit being worn for the first time!) Highly recommended if you want to dive local around Amed and Tulamben. 😊👍

Yan Yan the scuba man! What an amazing experience. My husband and I have just completed our three day open water dive course with Yan and it was epic. Yan is an incredible instructor, he is so calm and patient, especially with me as I have a huge fear of deep water (stupid I know) he helped me overcome this fear and after we completed our course we carried on and done a fun dive at the liberty wreck which was incredible. I highly recommend Yan to anyone who wants to dive, first time or experienced, he’s amazing.

I had my first-ever scuba diving experience with Yan, and it was amazing! He was calm, patient, and always made sure I felt safe and comfortable in the water. We started in his cool office, where we picked out the gear and went through a dry introduction before slowly heading into the water. Yan’s encouraging approach made the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free. I only wish I could stay longer to continue learning scuba diving with him! Highly recommended.

We found Yan from Scuba Odessey through a recommendation from a mutual friend and we couldn’t have been happier. From the first moment of contact to make our reservation until the very last minute of our trip, everything was so well taken care of. We spent 4 days diving with Yan but he also arranged our taxi from and to the airport and our hotel. Yan is an amazing dive guide, he finds all the little critters and knows all the best diving spots. We also did boat dives with the local fisherman’s boat (so cool!) and a night dive. Yan always made sure we were well taken care of with snacks, water and his lovely wife Ketut cooked us the most delicious lunches. Transportation to divesites is by car, or as Yan calls it: bali lamborghini. The rental gear looks well maintained, we brought our own gear and it was well looked after and thoroughly cleaned after every dive day. The shop is neat and tidy and has all you need; rinse tanks, shower, kitchen, teaching space. Cannot recommend enough: go dive with Yan at Scuba Odessey!

Diving with Yan and the team at Scuba Odessey around the Liberty ship wreck was one of the best divings I’ve ever had.
Everything was so smooth with Yan from the beginning, months ago, when researching a dive center. He was always attentive, responsive to my texts and very helpful and after seeing other reviews I knew he was the guy. Plus, you support a local business that’s turning a year old (yay!). Yan is a very experienced diver and has his eyes in the smallest sea creatures you could encounter.
And if diving was amazing, just wait until you get lunch. One of the best mie gorengs I had it at Yan’s center.

If you truly care about sustainable tourism, go dive with Yan and support locals! Bali really needs it.

Definitely will see you soon!

We did 4 dives with Yan and his team. The diving was just amazing! Yan was just brilliant at spotting beautiful little things like the pigmy seahorses! The whole thing was well organised and easy. The equipment is in excellent condition and you can see the team takes great care of their equipment. Yan was very good with all the safety procedures and rules, without being overbearing. Highly recommend Scuba Odessey for both beginners (or people wanting to learn) and experienced diver alike.
Oh and the included lunch with the two dive days was DELICIOUS!
