Tulamben

With the panorama changing drastically to dry hills covered with scrub, Tulamben is quieter and even more popular for diving. As one of the most renowned diving site in Indonesia, Tulamben offers diverse marine life and magnificent under water world.

The resort is 200 meters away from the famous Liberty Wreck, and about 300 meters away from the drop-off. The shark point and Manta point are also nearby. The Liberty Wreck is the relic of the U.S. Liberty warship that was torpedoed by the Japanese during World War II in the Lombok Strait. She was beached on Tulamben when rescue attempts failed. When Mount Agung erupted in 1963, she broke into two and was swept to her present position close to the shore of Tulamben.

The hull is encrusted with coral and the fish have become quite tame because of the large numbers of divers here.
