AMD-B’s Mola-Mola 2024 Specials
And, if you’ve not heard it before – I’ll let you into a secret … Bali actually has Mola alexandrini rather than Mola-Mola, but “Mola-Mola” is fun to say and used Bali-wide.

AquaMarine turns 25 Years Old!
– and what I’d give to personally be 25yo again!
Seriously though, it’s been a heck of a ride 🙂 I know I often say this but – I couldn’t have done it without the support of my entire team.
As someone recently wrote to me “Loyal staff, trained by AMD-B, who recognise the need to deliver top-notch service – and do”.
Looking for Bali Diving inspiration?
Check our ‘Best of Bali Dive Safaris’ (aka BoB!). These dive/accommodation packages are fantastic value, with great diving and accommodation. We have 13, 8 and 7 day programmes. Fixed start dates, and guaranteed departures with a minimum of 2 divers. The itineraries include shore- and boat-diving, a wide variety of dives: walls, wrecks, reefs, drifts, with opportunities for macro and wide-angle photography. You’ll see fantastic hard and soft corals, great density and diversity of marine life – from large pelagics such as Manta rays and Mola-Mola (Ocean sunfish) in season, to the tiniest juveniles and pygmy seahorses.
AMD-B’s Blog!
We’ve ‘upped our game’ and have been Blogging more frequently. Different members of AMD-B staff (including past Interns 🙂) have contributed. We have therefore covered a wide range of topics including ‘The Ladies Porter Association in Tulamben’, Tulamben Bay, Raja Ampat, and ‘Bali’s Topside Activities’ – there are quite a few more!

Blue Project by AMD-B: Be Ocean AWARE
The ocean is a vast and intricate part of our planet. It is home to millions of species and is an essential source of food, livelihoods, and recreation for billions of people around the world. However, despite its importance, the ocean is facing numerous threats, including climate change, marine debris, overfishing, and etc. To address these challanges and protect the ocean, it is important to be an Ocean AWARE.
As divers and ocean enthusiasts, we can all do our part to be Ocean AWARE. By learning more about ocean conservation, we can better appreciate its beauty and value. By understanding the threats facing the ocean, we can take action to reduce our impact and help protect marine life. And by being responsible divers and ocean stewards, we can help ensure that future generations can enjoy the wonders of the ocean.
2024 PADI Divemaster Internship
Progress Update by Fahmi:
I have been steadily progressing through my PADI Divemaster Course. I have been getting more involved in our dive trips, learning to navigate dive sites, to something like offering tips to students. These experiences are helping me grow more comfortable and confident in my role.
The highlight is when I was diving in the Menjangan area with Ketut, Senior PADI Instructor, and Annabel, owner of AMD-B. In addition to Wall-diving at Menjangan Island, I tried muck diving for the first time. Spotting not one, not two, but 3 Thread pipefishes (Kyonemichthys rumengani aka Lembeh seadragons) was an incredible experience. Their tiny size and excellent camouflage were fascinating, and I was amazed by Ketut’s ability to find them.
We’re aiming to finish my Divemaster course by this month. The guidance and tips from the instructors and guides have been invaluable, making this journey manageable and enjoyable. I’m looking forward to completing the course and taking on new challenges.
