Dive sites
The most famous sites in the Amed region:
USAT LIBERTY
The 120 meter long ship is now lying on its side, just 25 meters from the shore. Over the years, the Liberty has transformed from a barren pile of wreckage to an ecosystem teeming with life. The ship itself is covered in soft and hard corals, sea fans, sponges, sea anemones, crinoids, providing the perfect sanctuary for all types of marine animals.
The Liberty is one of the most accessible wreck dives in the world. Because it sank just offshore, divers can enter the water directly from the beach. The shallowest part of the ship is just 2.5 meters below the surface and the deepest is around 27 meters deep. This makes the Liberty an excellent wreck dive for all levels of divers, even beginners.
Marine fauna:
The Liberty Wreck is an underwater wonderland that is home to a wide range of marine animals. A huge school of bigeye trevally (or trevally) is often seen swirling around the wreck, while reef fish like sweetlips, angelfish, batfish, surgeonfish find shelter among the nooks and crannies of the ship. The turtles, Napoleon wrasses and large barracudas are also frequent visitors to the wreck. On the way back to shore, you can spot a group of garden eels emerging from the sandy seabed and swinging around. Night dives and sunrise dives offer the chance to see the resident school of humpback parrotfish that make the wreck their roost.
BOGA WRECK
Ideal for “penetration”, the Boga wreck now rests on a sandy slope about 60 meters from the shore, almost 45 meters long. Although not as massive as the Liberty, the Boga has its own charm that is worth exploring.
One of the main differences you’ll notice between the two wrecks is that the Boga wreck is still largely intact. It is easy to distinguish the different parts of the ship, with the bow facing the shore and the propeller extending out to sea. Some of the interesting features divers will see include a wooden steering wheel on the upper deck of the ship, as well as Buddha statues and a car inside.
Located between 14 and 38 meters deep, the Boga wreck is reserved for experienced divers. However, it is an ideal place for deep training dives. As a relatively young wreck, the Boga is not yet colonized by corals. However, many fish have already settled there and can be observed during a visit to the site. Barracudas, octopuses, surgeonfish, riflefish, angelfish, batfish, damselflies, nudibranchs and triggerfish are just some of the sea creatures that can be found there.
SERAYA SECRET
Seraya Secrets is a true paradise for macro lovers. It’s virtually impossible to list all the different creatures you can see! In a single dive, you can expect to see many different species and colors of nudibranchs, like donut and pikachu nudibranchs… just to name a few. The rare spotted harlequin shrimp is perhaps Seraya’s most famous resident.
Other species of shrimp can also be found here, including the Coleman shrimp and tiger shrimp. Boxer crabs, frogfish, ghost fish, and pygmy seahorses are just a few of the other tiny marine inhabitants that Seraya Secrets is best known for.

In addition to looking for the many small creatures hiding at this site, also keep an eye out for blue-spotted stingrays burrowing into the sandy slope. If you’re lucky, you might also spot an octopus during your dive here! The Seraya Secrets “cleaning stations” are an intriguing natural phenomenon to observe. Here you can watch tiny cleaner shrimp remove parasites from moray eels, coral groupers and sweetlips, even inside their mouths.
PYRAMIDES
This dive site can be approached by drift diving where the underwater landscape presents a natural coral reef on the slope with pyramidal structures on the sandy plateau at approximately 18 meters. The artificial reef was created by fishermen in the mid-90s and is located less than five minutes from our center. When diving at Pyramids, you can choose to do it from the shore or use the fishermen’s boats called “Jukung”, which allows more flexibility on the exit point.
The pyramids are for several reasons one of the main diving attractions in Amed. With more than 20 pyramids, the depth of this dive site allows Open certified divers to also enjoy the magic of the place. It is also ideal for introducing beginner divers to drift diving or even for experienced divers to encounter wonderful creatures such as the pygmy seahorse, leaf scorpion or frogfish.
Dive into the Pyramids and you will discover a wide variety of marine life both in the artificial and natural reef but also between the waters because the current carries a large quantity of plankton. Starting the dive by spotting a huge valley of garden eels, blue spotted stingrays will accompany you during the dive. While generally green or hawksbill turtles and large puffer fish like to shelter along the slope, schools of fusiliers or even giant trevally prefer to swim between the waters. Reef sharks can be seen as well as exceptionally the Whale shark.
