Bali is one of the world’s top destinations for scuba diving, known for its coral reefs, macro life, and famous wreck dives like the USAT Liberty.
At Bali Dive Resort and Spa (Tulamben) and Bali Dive Resort Amed, we are proud to operate at the highest environmental standards as Gold Green Fins Members (2026), combined with our status as a PADI Eco Center.
In April 2026, both of our dive centers successfully passed the official Green Fins assessment with flying colors.
In the Green Fins system, lower scores mean lower environmental impact. This significant improvement reflects our continuous effort to reduce our footprint and improve sustainable diving practices year after year.
Green Fins is a global conservation initiative led by the UN Environment Programme and The Reef-World Foundation.
It provides internationally recognized environmental standards for diving and snorkeling operators, helping protect coral reefs through strict operational guidelines and annual assessments.

Our 2026 assessment highlights several key environmental practices that define our daily operations.
We operate with a strict no single-use plastic policy and use paperless systems wherever possible. Our team promotes eco-friendly diving practices through training and daily briefings, and we actively collaborate with local communities, NGOs, and educational programs.
Sustainability is integrated into every aspect of our operation, from dive planning to guest experience.
Both Bali Dive Resort and Spa and Bali Dive Resort Amed are proud to operate as PADI Eco Centers.
This recognition is given to dive centers that actively support ocean conservation and environmental education.
As a PADI Eco Center, we promote sustainable diving practices in all courses, educate divers about marine conservation, support initiatives from the PADI AWARE Foundation, and encourage divers to become responsible ocean ambassadors.
At our dive centers, sustainability is not only something we practice—it is something you can actively take part in.
We offer a range of eco-focused diving courses designed to combine diving skills with real environmental impact.
Our eco courses include the Dive Against Debris Specialty, marine conservation awareness programs, and environmentally responsible diving training.
These programs allow you to improve your diving skills while contributing directly to ocean protection. Many of our eco courses include practical activities such as underwater clean-up dives, marine life identification, and environmental briefings before dives.

A key part of our environmental work is our collaboration with the MERO Foundation.
Together, we organize environmental education programs for local children, focusing on topics such as plastic pollution and ocean conservation.
We also support the training of MERO staff in scuba diving, helping to build local capacity and strengthen the connection between tourism and environmental protection.
This ensures that our impact goes beyond diving and contributes to long-term sustainability in the local community.
The waters around Tulamben and Amed are part of the officially designated Karangasem Marine Protected Area, established to protect coral reefs, marine biodiversity, and sustainable coastal livelihoods.
This protected status helps maintain healthy reef ecosystems, protect marine species, regulate tourism and fishing, and ensure long-term sustainability of diving in Bali.
As a dive operator working daily within this area, we actively support these regulations by briefing all divers on local environmental rules, promoting responsible diving behavior, and aligning our operations with conservation goals.
Bali Dive Resort and Spa (Tulamben) and Bali Dive Resort Amed are among the very few dive resorts in the area operating at this level of sustainability.
We are proud to be Gold Green Fins Members and PADI Eco Centers while actively contributing to local conservation initiatives.
This combination places us at the forefront of sustainable diving in Tulamben and Amed.
Choosing a Green Fins dive resort in Bali directly improves your diving experience.
Healthier reefs mean more marine life, better diving conditions, and more natural underwater encounters. Responsible diving practices also lead to safer and more controlled dives.
In shore diving destinations like Tulamben and Amed, these practices are especially important to protect the reefs that are accessed daily.
Green Fins is not a one-time certification but an ongoing process.
Each year, we receive action points to further improve our environmental performance. These include increasing guest awareness of Marine Protected Areas, improving recycling systems, and staying updated with environmental regulations.
This ensures that we continue improving year after year rather than simply maintaining standards.
At Bali Dive Resort and Spa (Tulamben) and Bali Dive Resort Amed, we combine world-class diving with strong environmental responsibility.
Being a Gold Green Fins Member and PADI Eco Center is not just recognition—it is our commitment to protecting Bali’s underwater world.
