I hope that whatever your other New Year’s Resolutions, you’re including “Diving in Bali”.
Several people bought AMD-B vouchers in the run-up to Christmas: We can supply vouchers at any time of the year. They can be specific: eg Day Trip to Tulamben Bay, a PADI course; or they can be for a set amount.
Please note: You can now apply online for your Visa on Arrival and complete your Customs Form. Both will save you time when you arrive in Bali.
Below you will find (more) details for:

AMD-B News
2023 PADI Divemaster Internship
This year’s chosen interns are Abi and Mardia 🙂

Abi, 21 years old scuba diving enthusiast from Bogor with a bachelor degree in Marine Science. Abi had an experience as an intern at Turtle Conservation and Education Centre (TCEC) in Bali, where he gained more knowledge about ocean and conservation. His hobbies are diving and photography

Mardia is from Makasar, South Sulawesi ‒ a final year student at Hasanuddin University majoring in Aquaculture. This year, Merdia finished her coral restoration internship in Gili Air and was accepted as an exchange student at the faculty of Marine Science and Technology of Tokyo University. Her dream job is to work in marine conservation.

Blue Project by AMD-B
There’s Good News for Blue Project by AMD-B (AMD-B’s Conservation programme): We have a new(ish!) full-time Manager for Blue Project!
Aramita (Ara) was one of our 2020 PADI Divemaster Interns. For the past 3 years she has worked in the field of coral research and development. However Ara’s true passion is conservation so she’s re-joining us in January – we couldn’t be happier!
AMD-B was one of the first recipients of a PADI AWARE Foundation Mission Hub Community Grant so Ara’s first project will be to structure how-when-and-where AMD-B will use those funds. Yes, 2023 is going to be a great year for ‘BP by AMD-B’!
