The signature site

One remarkable wreck. A whole coastline of coral.

Locally known as the Japanese Shipwreck, this coral-covered structure begins in very shallow water—close enough for snorkelers to see, yet detailed enough for divers to slow down and explore. Pair it with Amed's reef gardens, walls, macro life or a night dive for a fuller East Bali experience.

  • Snorkeler-friendlySee the wreck and reef from the surface with a guide and fitted equipment.
  • Beginner-friendlyCalm briefings, patient coaching and a gradual first underwater experience.
  • Worth repeatingCertified divers can combine wreck, reef, macro and deeper profiles.
  • Right beside usLess transfer time, more flexibility around conditions and your schedule.
Choose your Japanese Shipwreck experience

Depth, visibility, current and access vary with tides and sea conditions. The guide chooses the safest itinerary for the day.

Shallow by natureThe wreck's upper sections are around five metres below the surface, making the same site compelling for snorkelers and divers.

Boutique means personal

Fewer hand-offs. More attention underwater.

Bali Explorers Diver is intentionally small. Iju stays close to the guest experience, brings in another divemaster when needed and builds the day around real conditions—not around filling a large boat.

1

Direct access to the owner

The person answering your questions is close to the person planning your dive.

2

Small-group judgement

Experience, comfort and air consumption matter more than forcing a standard profile.

3

Local site knowledge

Wreck, reef, wall and macro options can change with visibility, current and the season.

4

Value without being “cheap”

Competitive direct prices, maintained equipment and clear extras rather than hidden surprises.

The location is the experience

In Banyuning, beside the Japanese Shipwreck.

Central Amed has many dive shops. Our advantage is different: we are based by one of the coast's most distinctive shallow wreck-and-coral sites, behind the main entrance rather than thirty minutes away.
