Black sand, stunning walls and slopes make this a macro delight such as Pygmy Seahorse, Leaf Scorpion fish, Cuttlefish, Garden Eels and many other variety of reef fish. There are several different dive sites here, some accessible from the shore, others by boat. The visibility does tend to drop off a bit in the rainy season, which is from late November through to March. Amed is one of the fast boat port for travelers going to or coming from Gilis Lombok.
