AquaMarine Diving
AquaMarine Diving – Bali (PADI 5 star Dive Resort 6344) is owned and managed by Annabel Thomas (PADI Instructor 462621). It has been operating since 1999 and is the only British-owned dive company in Bali. AquaMarine Diving – Bali (AMD-B) is a small company with high standards, catering to individuals and groups alike. From the start its focus has been on personalised service, which is still the way it approaches its business today. It is acutely aware of international quality standards, which are applied rigorously to all aspects of the operation, from car, boat and dive equipment maintenance, to staff training. The company’s 10 full-time dive guides are Indonesian nationals with English language skills and some also speak Japanese. All guides are certified PADI Divemasters or above, know the Bali dive sites intimately, and take pride in showing guests the fantastic diving to be had in Bali.
AMD-B’s services include everything from a VIP airport pick-up service, transfers to and from the airport, accommodation arrangements, PADI courses, Daily Dive Trips and customised Dive Safaris of any length. The company prides itself on a high quality of service and a personalised approach to all bookings.
As a dive operator, AMD-B is ideally situated to assist divers travelling through Bali on their way to many of the other spectacular diving locations Indonesia has to offer. The company works closely with liveaboards and resorts around the archipelago to ensure that their guests have a pleasant stopover in Bali, and are given the chance to experience the variety of dive sites that Bali has to offer, either on their way in or out of Indonesia.
AMD-B is an active supporter of several environmental conservation projects, both local and international. It was the first GO ECO operator in Indonesia and organises regular local beach clean-ups with schools in Bali. The company also supports organisations such as BAWA (Bali Animal Welfare Association), the East Bali Poverty Project and PADI’s Project AWARE. AMD-B has an excellent website – www.AquaMarineDiving.com – which offers detailed information on all products and services as well as general information about Bali and the island’s diving. The website has an enquiry form to gather all the necessary information needed to get back to customers as fast as possible.
The company’s Facebook group page gives guests updates on recent trips, interesting events or activities in the diving world or in Bali. Friends can view the many photos contributed by guests and staff showcasing what Bali has to offer, and post their own photos and comments.
AMD-B also welcomes visitors to its office in Jalan Petitenget, Kuta, just 100m down from the traffic lights on Raya Kerobokan.
