About Aquatix Freediving and Spearfishing

Aquatix is a spearfishing and freediving school in Amed, Bali. Built on one premise: small groups, experienced instructors, and enough time for every diver to get real attention.

Why we started this school

Jemeluk Bay has been drawing serious freedivers to Amed for decades. The site is exceptional: a coral wall that starts at 3 metres and drops to over 50 metres.

Most dive operations in the region run on volume. Large groups, shared rental gear, instructors stretched across too many students at once. The model works for the business. It does not work for the student.

Aquatix was built to be the alternative. Canadian-operated, with backing from partners in Australia, USA, and United Kingdom. That backing meant we could build a dive school properly, with no shortcuts. We can afford to keep group sizes small and make sure every student gets real attention.

Our commitment to no shortcuts is evident by the quality of our equipment. Every student receives a proper two-piece freediving wetsuit, and carbon fiber fins. We also invest in handmade teak spearguns for our spearfishing operations. This is how a premium diving operation outfits its clients.

How we teach.

The honest version: most freediving courses spend too long in theory and not enough time in the water. A classroom can describe equalization. Only repetition in the ocean teaches it. We get students in the water fast and we keep them there... Because the ocean is the best teacher.

Water time is the curriculum. Theory is just the starting point.

Small groups so every student gets coaching, not crowd management.

Premium gear from the first session. Two-piece wetsuits, carbon fiber fins, and teak spearguns are the baseline, not a reward.

Top-tier safety is a practice, not a sign-off. Every session. Every time. No exceptions.

Honest feedback. If something is wrong, we say so. That is what actually gets you deeper.

Why Amed specifically?

The south of Bali is easier to get to. It has worse diving, because it faces the open Indian Ocean and takes the swell.

Jemeluk Bay is 40 metres from our door. The coral wall starts at three metres and drops continuously to over fifty. On most days visibility runs 20 to 30 metres. The water is flat and warm year-round. And unlike most world-class freediving sites in Southeast Asia, you walk to it from the street.

The decision to base Aquatix in Amed was not about convenience. It was about the ocean. And the ocean here is genuinely exceptional. That is the only metric that matters when your entire value proposition is the quality of what happens underwater.
