Diving with Jim - PADI Dive Center

Located in the Amed-Karangasem region of Bali, Diving with Jim offers a direct connection to the volcanic landscapes and reef systems of East Bali. This centre is operated by a local Balinese team, ensuring that the diving experience is deeply rooted in the local culture and community.

Led by a PADI Elite Scuba Instructor, the centre operates with a focus on precision and individual attention. Whether you are exploring the local reefs or undertaking advanced training, the emphasis remains on a personalised approach that prioritises safety and the enjoyment of the dive.

The team is managed by Jim, a PADI Elite Scuba Instructor, ensuring a high standard of instruction across all levels. The staff is composed of local Balinese professionals, providing a genuine perspective on the local marine environment and community needs.

To maintain a high standard of safety and instruction, the centre adheres to strict diver-to-guide ratios. During courses, you will typically have one instructor for every two students, and during recreational dives, the ratio is generally one guide for every two divers.
