This dive site, Lipah Beach, is located in the Amed area on the northeast coast of Bali, Indonesia. It's renowned as one of several easily accessible shore-entry spots along the black sand beaches of Amed. The dive site begins directly in front of the beach, where divers and snorkelers can fin out to a vibrant coral reef. Navigation is straightforward, following the reef structure, which gradually slopes to its maximum depth, offering a simple and enjoyable underwater experience.
The coral reef at Lipah Beach is described as 'brimming with life,' hosting thousands of tropical fish. This indicates a high biodiversity of reef fish species, likely including damselfish, butterflyfish, angelfish, parrotfish, and possibly small groupers or moray eels. The healthy coral structures, both hard and soft, provide extensive habitat for various invertebrates and juvenile fish, creating a dynamic ecosystem.
Lipah Beach is suitable for diving and snorkeling year-round, with the dry season (April to October) generally offering the best conditions for calm seas and optimal visibility. Its shallow depth and easy access make it an ideal spot for beginner divers, refreshers, and especially snorkelers and freedivers looking to explore a thriving reef without deep dives or strong currents.
