Discover one of Bali’s most iconic underwater experiences with a diving trip to Tulamben, a quiet village on the northeast coast of Bali that hides a world-class treasure beneath its calm waters. Known for its black volcanic sand beaches, gentle currents, and incredible marine biodiversity, Tulamben is a dream destination for both beginner and experienced divers.

Dive into History at the USAT Liberty Shipwreck

One of the highlights of diving in Tulamben is the USAT Liberty Shipwreck, a 120-meter-long World War II cargo ship that was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine in 1942 and later pushed to the shore by the eruption of Mount Agung in 1963. Now lying just 5 to 30 meters below the surface, the wreck has become an artificial reef teeming with marine life. Schools of jackfish, barracuda, parrotfish, nudibranchs, and even turtles can be spotted here.

Coral Garden – A Colorful Shallow Paradise

Another must-visit dive spot in Tulamben is the Coral Garden, located just a short swim from the beach. This shallow reef (3 to 12 meters deep) is ideal for beginners and underwater photographers. With vibrant corals, clownfish, ribbon eels, and the occasional reef shark, it offers a calm and scenic diving experience.
