April - June 2025 Bali eNewsletter
Message from Annabel
I would like to start by wishing those who celebrate, a ‘Happy Easter’ or ‘Happy Ramadan’ – or to wish you the best with anything else you are celebrating now or the near future 🙂
Next Saturday (29 March) everyone in Bali will be celebrating Nyepi, the Balinese annual ‘Day of Silence’. No-one goes outside, no-one works (yes, even AMD-B is closed!), no lights are allowed, no energy is used at all.
As you can imagine, the stars are utterly stunning! I personally can’t wait, it’s an amazing feeling 🙂
Both of these Special Offers expire on 31 March!
Early Bird Discount
Make a booking for diving up to 31/12/25 and pay your deposit (before 31 March): Receive a 10% discount AND your price will be locked in (AMD-B’s prices will go up from 1st April).
Low Season Special Offer (LSSO)
Book two Day Trips (diving and/or snorkelling): Receive a 2nd Day Trip for our Potluck Diving price (USD95/pp)!

Blue Project by AMD-B: March 2025 Monthly Clean-up

Report by Alfari and Hafid, AMD-B’s 2025 PADI Zero-to-Hero DM Intern
The weather was cloudy during our Monthly Beach Clean-Up at Padangbai, where four members of the AMD-B team collected 3.125kgs of trash. As always, plastic bottles were the most prevalent item, dominating the majority of the waste. A simple step we can take is to sort our waste before disposal – separating organic waste for composting and inorganic materials for recycling.
Shortly after, we proceeded with the Monthly Dive Against Debris at Blue Lagoon. During the dive at Coral Wall, we collected 0.34kg of debris. We found fishing lines and hooks, which pose a significant threat to marine life, as they can entangle fish while scavenging for food. We also discovered a plastic bottle on the sandy substrate. We encourage everyone to start sorting their waste at home to reduce the impact of trash on our environment.
2025 11 Months PADI Divemaster Internship Programme

End of February Update by Hafid
This month I learned PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Course. I also took several PADI Speciality Courses: Deep Dive, Drift Dive, Peak Performance Buoyancy, Wreck Dive, Boat Dive, Search and Recovery, Underwater Navigator, and Digital UW Photographer – and my favourite are Fish Identifications and Underwater Naturalist. I discovered and learned varieties of fishes from the very small to big one. I could finally see the tiny Nudibranch, Sea Slug, Decorator Crab and Shrimp.
Also, I was assigned to observe how AMD-B’s Dive Guide handle the guests above and underwater. Observed how they explain about the diving activities from beginning until the end.
Next month’s goal is completed PADI Rescue Diver Course!
