About this site

Amed Ghost Bay lies along the coast of Amed in eastern Bali, a stretch of shoreline known for its black volcanic sand and calm bays facing the Lombok Strait. The area is dotted with small fishing villages and dive operations that run shore and boat dives along this coastline, and Mount Agung rises inland behind the bay, its volcanic slopes having shaped the black sand seabed found here. The dive itself is rated beginner, reaching a maximum depth of around 25 metres over that sandy bottom, well suited to muck diving. Frogfish, ghost pipefish, mimic octopus, and seahorses are regularly found among the sand and debris, and divers have also reported bannerfish, batfish, bumphead parrotfish, clownfish, lionfish, nudibranchs, ornate ghost pipefish, pipefish, scorpionfish, and stonefish on the same stretch.
