Exploring the beauty of Tulamben

Tulamben is totally worth the two-and-a-half-hour overland trip from Sanur, Bali. When pressing the deflator button to descend, we seemed to get mysteriously, suddenly recharged by a new energy, the feel of the deep seawater through our wet suits soothing.

Ready to dive!

Welcome to Tulamben: one of the world's best diving sites near this island paradise. This site has attracted diving lovers from home and abroad to check out the underwater life and to treasure its beauty.

On the day we dived there were about 50 divers divided into several groups, mostly crowding the site of the U.S. Liberty shipwreck.

"During peak season, there could hundreds of people diving in this particular site," said Chris, our guide from Bali Scuba.

The U.S. cargo ship was torpedoed by the Japanese during World War II. It is now covered with anemones, gorgonian and coral. ..[The Jakarta Post]
