Had my first ever dive in Amed with Dive Culture through their Discover Scuba Diving, and it was an amazing experience. My instructor, Madi (I hope the spelling is correct) was very patient and made me feel safe and comfortable the whole time. Exploring the massive USAT Liberty Shipwreck was surreal and unforgettable and seeing a turtle was a bonus! Highly recommend Dive Culture, especially for first-time divers.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I did my Open Water course with DiveCulture in September 2025, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Everyone there was super friendly and helpful. Shoutout to Kai, Ogi, Lily and everyone there! I was a solo traveler, but the team made sure I was well taken care of the entire time. My instructor, Hertta, was amazing — patient, reassuring, and incredibly knowledgeable. It was my first time diving, and I definitely panicked at first, but her calm and supportive approach helped me get through it with confidence. Later on, when I took my Advanced course with another dive centre, my new instructor actually commented on how well-trained I was — all thanks to Hertta’s excellent teaching! I feel really lucky that DiveCulture was my first dive centre. It made my introduction to diving such a positive and memorable experience. Oh, and a fun bonus — the dive centre turns into Notabar at night! Perfect spot to grab a drink, relax, and meet people from the global diving community. Highly recommend DiveCulture for anyone looking to start (or continue) their diving journey in Amed - Bali! 🌊🤿

This is a very professional dive shop with responsible and attentive staff and dive instructors who pay attention to details. It not only provides me with satisfactory diving services, but also provides full emotional value. Yes! This is a place where you feel full of pleasant atmosphere! And this shop also has a very interesting small bar, which is a popular local gathering place!

I had a wonderful time diving here. The team was incredibly welcoming and professional. The dive was smooth, safe, and full of beautiful marine life. Good dive, good people, and great dive master 🦎. In the evening, the dive shop transforms into a cozy hangout spot where good people gather and enjoy a great time together. It’s such a warm and fun atmosphere that makes the whole experience even more special.

I had the best experience that I could have ever dreamed of with Dive culture. I did my Advanced Open water with them and marine conservation. I can’t swim but diving with Noah and Ogi made me feel so safe every single dive! They are extremely professional and patient. Regan, Noah and Lily are also Marine life experts who are so humble and inspiring. I felt so supported by every single person at Dive Culture. The family and culture there is so diverse and so welcoming. I love Dive Culture and coming here was the best experience ever. I will definitely be back!
