Jemeluk Wall is in Jemeluk Bay, Amed. The dive starts on a gentle slope, then the bottom becomes a wall. Barrel sponges, sea fans, table corals, and hard coral cover the point where the slope meets the cliff.
A usual depth is about 5–40 m. The wall continues deeper, in places to 45–50 m, so agree a limit before the splash. Current inside the bay is often light, but it can build outside the bay. Entry is by boat, or a swim from the beach.
The shallow part is used to finish the dive: the coral at 5 m is still busy with fish. The wall is for the large sponges and sea fans. The small animals, including pygmy seahorses, are on those fans.

Marine life
Turtle
Turtles, including green and hawksbill turtles, often pass along the wall.
Trevally
Schools pass in the open water beside the cliff.
Barracuda
Sometimes hang off the wall, alone or in a small group.
Reef shark
Sometimes swim along the cliff. Not on every dive.
Triggerfish
Includes titan triggerfish guarding a nest. If one comes over, give way, and do not cross its nest.
Macro life
The sea fans and coral cracks are where the small animals are. For macro photos, use a macro lens and a focus light, and do not touch a fan.
Pygmy seahorse
They cling to the sea fans on the wall. They are thumbnail-sized, so look on the fans, not in the sand.
Nudibranch
On the sponges and coral along the slope.
Leaf scorpionfish
Camouflaged in the soft coral. A slow movement is usually what gives it away.
An animal on this list is not guaranteed on every dive.
