Tulamben Diving Highlights
The main reason that scuba divers travel the world to get to Tulamben is the USAT Liberty Shipwreck, lying just 40 meters from the beach and certainly the most accessible WW II shipwreck that you are likely to dive.
A combination of torpedoes in 1942 and a volcanic eruption in 1963 have caused this great ship to sit in shallow waters. The top sits in just 5 meters and the rest drops away to around 30 meters meaning all levels of diver can experience parts of this wreck, which is festooned with healthy hard & soft corals, sea fans and great barrel sponges.
Lots of marine life also call the wreck their home including Bumphead parrot fish, barracuda, turtles, hard & soft corals, and macro life like pygmy seahorse, nudibranch, scorpion fish, etc.
For the second dive of the day we choose between Coral Garden which also offers macro life, or the Drop Off which is a wall that eventually drops down to more than 70 meters and is covered in sponges and wonderful gorgonian fans.

Our Favourite Dive Sites
USAT Liberty
Depth: 5-30m
The famous Liberty is a shipwreck for any diver level from an Open water or a Discover scuba diver to an advanced diver who has hundreds of dives logged. Snappers, Groupers, Barracuda, and occasional visits from Black tip reef sharks are some of the bigger things at the wreck, if you are interested in macro the wreck has Ghost Pipefish, Nudibranchs, Leaf fish and tones of other little critters. With great coral colour and normally good visibility and light the Liberty makes for an excellent photography dive. We normally dive the Liberty first thing in the morning before the crowds arrive from Sanur and Kuta.
Seraya
Depth: 5-25m
Definitely one for the macro enthusiast or photographers this black sand slope has scatter patches of reef and sponge hiding superb macro life. Nudibranchs, multiple species of ghost pipefish, pygmy cuttlefish, frogfish, boxer crabs, seahorses… the list goes on and on. Black sand diving at it’s best.
CORAL GARDEN
Depth: 5-20m
The Coral Garden at Tulamben is a site that is bursting with life, yet another site that is great for photography. Scorpionfish, Ribbon Eels, colonies of anemones with their resident clown fish along with giant Bumphead Parrotfish and passing Blacktip Reef Sharks are a few of the things that you can see here. An artificial reef has also been created here which comprises of a mix of various Balinese statues all of which attract a lot of life to the reef and makes for a great photo opportunity with your buddy.
DROP OFF
Depth: 10-30+m
The Drop off can be quite an exciting dive with Black-tip Reef Sharks, Groupers, Stingrays and other marine life. It makes for a great wall dive as well a bit of a drift depending on the currents. There is also a chance of seeing Mantas but these are just visitors who pass by now and then.
BATU NITI
Depth: 10-30+m
A steep lava wall covered in corals leads down to a black sand slope at this site between Tulamben and Amed. Black coral and Barrel Sponges abound, with frogfish, nudibranchs, and other critters hiding amongst the reef. Keep an eye out in the blue though as large pelagics occasionally pass the point.
