La Bila Dive Resort Amed - Ecole de plongée - Escuela de Buceo - Sekolah Menyelam

I completed the Open Water Diver course and because my instructor Diane was such a great teacher and diving buddy, I spontaneously added the Advanced Open Water straight after that. The owner of the resort (Bungalows, Restaurant.) Ketut really is a good soul, as are his family and employees. The manager of the diving activities, Pascal, is a reliable, supportive and funny guy. Everybody was always friendly, helpful and caring. My instructor Diane was organized, patient and attentive so that I always had the feeling that the pace of learning, exploring, repeating and just having fun was perfectly matched to my needs/wants. Diane always made an effort after diving to help you log your dives and to take time talking about the things you saw under water. La Bila Dive Resort was perfect to learn diving and to experience the phenomenal diving spots in the Amed region - USAT Liberty Wreck, bioluminescent Plankton in a night dive, so many different organisms.
Wholehearted recommendation!

Awesome day w/ La Bila Dive Resort for 2 diving! The welcome was perfect, Pascal and Diane are very nice and friendly and the Spots was crazy! Go here if you want to Dive, for real that’s the best place!

Thanks again to Pascal and Diane for everything!

Room passable, the bathroom deserves to be renovated, the front door too.otherwise the staff is friendly, the breakfast good, and above all excellent diving school, with great instructors and a good lunch to get back on track shape:)

Great diving experience in La Bila. The support from Pascal and Diane is really great. We couldn't dream of a better start to the world of diving. We passed the open water, one of the best experiences of our trip without a doubt!

I did my open water with my friend, we were lucky enough to have a private group according to our availability!
Labila is one of the best diving centers on Amed for sure!
Pascal and Diane are two lovers of the deep, and they taught us the basics of diving.
It was a great experience, check out their Instagram for more pictures they are very active on it!

Went to dive for 1 day to la Bila. The time was more than pleasant by the hand of pascal.
Did my nitrox course and had an amazing dive in the tulamen liberty wreck.
An experience to remember and repeat!
Thank you so much the fun dive day!

Did some great dives with pascal and his team. Everyone is super friendly and flexible with scheduling of the dives. Already returned there once and hopefully will get a chance to some more diving with them in the future.

We can only praise the hospitality of Ketut! He was so patient, kind and generous with his time.

We stayed at La Bila for 5 days and did our Padi Open Water Course with Pascal. Despite poor weather conditions we had a great time and a very memorable Christmas.

Ketut picked us up from the airport on arrival, and our plane was delayed, so he had to wait until 1: 30 am for us! We felt terrible but he assured us everything was good and drove us the 3 hours to the resort! He also drove us to Ubud and gave us a tour of some temples on the way at the end of our stay.

La Bila Resort is simple but for the price that includes hot showers and a hot made to order breakfast and coffee you can’t really beat it.

We really appreciated our time at La Bila and would highly recommend booking Ketut for your transportation if you are in Amed, or the PADI courses with Pascal.

Also the fresh fish at the restaurant is delicious!

We stayed for 7 nights in La Bila! It was amazing! The staff is so helpful and lovely. We also recommend to dive with La Bila. The equipment was brand new and the staff very professional!

So the good experience starts from the WhatsApp inquiry with Ketut, where he is always responsive and helpful with all my questions. Price is very friendly and I ended up staying 4 nights. What you expense there are put on tab (lunch, dinner, beer, laundry, scooter, taxi) and you pay at the end of your stay which is convenient and great because it just shows how much they trust you. I also got my open water diving certification with Pascal. He is a great instructor with great knowledge and makes sure that you will possess the knowledge to be a good diver too. He is thorough in the course and you will definitely feel safe and confident in the waters. I am happy to have spent time with Ketut and Pascal, hope to go back very soon to Amed to see you guys again!

La Bila really was the perfect place for us to stay in Amed for a week due to many reasons.

If you want to go or learn diving you have to go to La Bila. Pascal the diving instructor is the best all over Bali. We did several dives with him for our advanced open water diver including wreck and night dives e.g. AMAZING! We always felt save with Pascal and had a great time with him. Also the whole equipment was new and well checked. Thanks so much again for the great time Pascal!

Also for the rest La Bila is awesome. Ketut and his team will do everything to enjoy you stay. He picked us up from Denpasar, organized a great tour to Mount Batur and the tickets to the boat to Gili. Breakfast and all the food is lovely, rooms are very spacious and clean. They even clean it every day if you want to. Bed is comfortable and shower hot and high pressure (not everywhere in Indonesia).

If you want to see Bali in from a different exciting perspective above and under water just go to La Bila Amed. You'll definitely enjoy every minute!

Thanks so much to the whole team!

First of all, we would like to appreciate approach of the owner - he fixed our motorbike and rented us snorkeling equipment for good price. When it comes to accomodation - it’s very basic, doors are hard to lock or close, but it’s ok for a few nights. But what was the main thing what really suprised us was the approach of the staff. On the first sight they will smile at you but then they will gossip and laugh about you behind your back. We have already spent 2 months in Bali and never experience anything like that from local people. I hope that you can at least think about this and improve your approach to tourists - the fact that we are from different country doesn’t mean that we are rich and have easier life than you. We also need to work hard to earn money, nothing in life is for free and if tourists are coming to your place, the last thing what you want to do for your bussiness is to make them feel unwelcomed. Despite of this we wish you all the best for your future and please, think about the way how you treat people.

My favourite guesthouse in Bali, I keep coming back to this place.

There is no better example of Balinese hospitality than that which you receive from Ketut and Kadek at La Bila. There is nothing that won't do to make you feel at home. They have helped me with everything from taking my scooter to be repaired at the mechanic, to taking me to the local doctor when I was ill, to sharing the Balinese traditions and way of life, all the while expecting nothing in return.

The location is perfect. Right in the center of amed, just by the beach and near plenty of great restaurants. The rooms are a good size and very comfortable and the views from the upstairs bed in the family room are just amazing!

Try the food while you're there, Kadek is a fantastic cook. My recommendations are tempe sate, steamed fish with yellow sauce and of course the legendary tempe cordon bleu.

Thank you Pak Ketut and Ibu Kadek for making me feel so at home and welcomed at La Bila. I know I'll be back.

Really simple beautiful little resort, budget, basic but clean and staff very nice. Owner very helpful, provide transport and all the connections/contacts to go diving or whatever you need. Just across the road from nice little mexican restaurant, burritos everyday.

Personnel extremely kind and grateful. The quality-price relation was excellent and all together deserves 5 stars.
Thank you.

Ketut and his family went above my expectations of hospitality. Whether it be dropping me off on the bike, allowing me to cancel scuba when I want feeling great, taking me to a medicine man. Thank you for making me feel so safe in Amed.excellent service!

Also a reliable transfer service between cities if you need.

A wonderful stay in Amed at La Bila with my partner and baby. We were warmly welcomed by Mr Ketut and family. They were always available to help and provided us with water. Our stay included a basic but delicious breakfast each morning and snorkelling gear. Our room was simple but was everything we needed. The location is great, very central and close to many restaurants. They were absolutely wonderful with our baby and it was sad to say goodbye at the end of our stay. If we visit Amed again we will stay here for sure
