Zen Divers Amed – Discover Scuba Diving in Bali with Local Expertise

Founded in 2015 by Wayan Punia Atmaja, Zen Divers Amed was created from a lifelong passion for the ocean and a mission to share the beauty of Bali’s underwater world with both visitors and the local community. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced diver, our dive center in Amed, Bali offers a welcoming and environmentally responsible way to explore the island’s best dive sites.

 

A Local Pioneer in Bali Diving

Wayan’s diving journey began in 1993, when he completed his PADI Open Water Diver course. Over the following years, he gained extensive experience diving around Bali—particularly in the Sanur area—and developed a deep passion for teaching and marine life. In 2001, he became a PADI-certified Instructor, allowing him to share his knowledge and inspire others to explore Bali’s underwater world safely and responsibly.

His love for diving and commitment to marine education eventually brought him back to his hometown of Amed, where he became the first local Balinese dive instructor to operate in this now-famous diving region. At that time, very few Balinese locals were involved in scuba diving or marine conservation. Wayan made it his mission to inspire local interest in the ocean, teaching his community to appreciate and protect the reefs that surround their home.

 

The Birth of Zen Divers Amed

In 2015, Zen Divers was founded to combine professional dive training with Zen Buddhist values of respect for all living creatures. Our goal is to help divers of all levels connect deeply with the sea—cultivating mindfulness, safety, and environmental awareness with every dive.

Whether it’s your first Discover Scuba Diving experience or you’re continuing your underwater education, Wayan and his instructor team provide personal attention and expert guidance. We teach in small groups to ensure comfort, confidence, and unforgettable memories beneath the waves.
