For boats
Amed is
located 24 miles
from Gili Trawangan and it is a little beach town. There are many health food
stores (vegetarian and non-vegetarian restaurants).
APPROACHING
Very easy but watch for many unlit Fish Attracting Devices (FADs) off the whole N coast of Bali (do not attempted at night).
ANCHORAGE
Ambat is not protected bay and there is often some swell. During SE winds it is likely sheltered, however, if winds are more E or even ESE bay can be uncomfortable in the afternoons. In the NW monsoon season the shelter is not recommended. If W winds blow the bay can be pleasant but NW winds which blow for days making the anchorage danger.
Anchor in 15-18m of water on a sandy bottom as close to the shore as you feel comfortable. The drop off is very steep. Note: You will be 150m from the shore, if the swell / wind pushes boat to the shore, deck watches are recommended.
Position of anchorage: 008 19.93 S 115° 38.56 E
DINGHY LANDING
On the beach, close to the beach bar / restaurant.
PROVISIONING
Provisioning in Amed is possible but not recommended. Less products and higher prices - Lovina (45 miles to the W) has a much greater selection of foodstuffs.

For crews
Amed has
some of the best dive sites in Bali, that is usually the main reason to stop there. Snorkeling
is also very good. The water is very clean and most of the dive sites are accessed from shore. There are two great shipwrecks within a short
drive of the anchorage. The Japanese
shipwreck is located a few kilometers E of
the anchorage and can be accessed by shore. The U.S.S. Liberty shipwreck (IMO best spot) is found in Tulamben village
to the W and can also be accessed by shore. There are two or three dive
operators in Amed you can dive with.
