The focus at AquaMarine is to provide both high quality service and the best possible diving for guests, offering programmes to suit each diver’s interests, experience and preferences. Attention to detail is a hallmark of the AquaMarine experience. Although AquaMarine has grown over the years, this has never been at the expense of personalised service.
AquaMarine was founded by Annabel in 1999 and is the only British owner-operated dive centre in Bali. Annabel’s concept was to plan dive trips as she would want arrangements made for her were she a diver visiting Bali, and this philosophy of individual attention continues today.
AquaMarine focuses entirely on diving – Dive Safaris (diving and accommodation packages), Day Dive Trips, and PADI courses. AMD-B is one of the few dive centres in Bali that is totally dedicated to diving. Of course we would be delighted to arrange other activities for guests (from whitewater rafting to Balinese cookery courses, and much more).
AMD-B offers diving at all of Bali’s better dive locations, and provides hotel pick-up and drop-off for all guests. Multi-day Dive Safaris are organised with a choice of hotels near the dive sites.
All of AquaMarine’s PADI dive team are Indonesian and speak very good English; more than 70% of them are PADI Instructors or above. They were all recruited not only for their levels of expertise, but also their dedication and commitment to the company.
