USAT Liberty Shipwreck
The Wreck of the USAT Liberty rests on its starboard (right) side, just 40 metres from the pebble beach in Tulamben Bay. The ship lies with the bow pointing north on the edge of a very steep, sloping sand bottom. The Liberty is far from intact, yet much of it is very recognizable.The stern is the shallowest at around 5 metres and easily recognised with its intact rudder. Forward of the stern some of the cargo holds have deck beams still supporting the hull and a little further forward the boilers are easily located. The bow itself is intact, along with the forward gun, but the cargo hold just back from the bow is a twisted mass of metal plates. Maximum depth on the wreck itself is around 30 metres, though the bottom drops well beyond this depth.
The wreck is absolutely alive with critters, from Mantis Shrimps to Mola Mola, from Pygmy Seahorses to Bump head Parrot Fish - this is the ONE dive you cannot miss.

Drop Off
The Village Temple sits high on a headland at the south east end of Tulamben Bay. The headland is composed of volcanic rock from an old eruption of Mount Agung. The ‘Drop Off’ is a series of underwater lava flows that fan-out from this headland.
The reef descends to over 70 metres in a very short distance from the shore. This area is often used as an alternative to diving the Liberty wreck, yet it is far from a second rate dive. Its diversity of marine life is staggering, from miniscule frogfish to monstrous sunfish. From translucent shrimps to giant trevally - the Drop Off is a very rich reef with an easy beach entry for divers.

Coral Garden
Lying between the Liberty Wreck and the Drop-Off, is a long stretch of shallow reef that follows the shoreline for around 150 metres. The Coral garden is a rich reef, popular with underwater photographers. It is renown for almost guaranteed sightings of critters that are rare elsewhere; Harlequin Ghost Pipefish, Ribbon Eels, Leaf Scorpion Fish and at night – Spanish Dancer Nudibranchs. It is also a great place to see schools of trevally, snapper and sweetlip or perhaps a cruising Black-Tip Shark. Depths range from 3-15 metres. This site is also known as Paradise Reef.
Seraya Secrets
In the next bay south east of Tulamben, is a dive site that from the surface gives little hint of the richness that lies below. Seraya Secrets is what has become known as a 'muck' dive - that is a dive site without major coral formations, but lots of sand and small structures. A site where unusual animals are abundant and easily located. Lying directly in front of Scuba Seraya Resort, Seraya Secrets has two distinct habitats.
Just in from the black-sand beach the bottom drops steadily to a depth of around 3-9 metres, ‘Top Secrets’ is this shallower reef-top. Comprised of smaller rocks with patches of black sand, occasional sponges and tiny hard corals. This is the place to find Frogfish, Eels, Scorpion fish, Lionfish, Sea Moth's and Harlequin Shrimps. ’Deep Secrets’ is on the sloping bottom from 10 metres down to 35 metres. Small outcrops support micro-habitats where seahorses, cuttlefish, mimic octopus, striped catfish, nudibranchs, multi coloured crinoids and larger frogfish are found. All this in visibility around 10-15 metres and who said muck!

Kubu Reef
Kubu Reef is located near Kubu village a few kilometres west of Tulamben. A sealed road leads from the centre of the village down to the shore. At its end is a basic dive preparation area and directly offshore are two dive sites, both accessible from the shore. Looking straight offshore, one is off to the left, the other slightly to the right. Both sites require a 50 metres swim out to deeper water, though the swim is over picturesque shallow reefs. The 'left' reef has a large area of delicate branching corals starting at the edge of the deeper water. Beyond depths of 15 metres are large barrel sponges and one huge gorgonia fan. The 'right' reef has large coral covered rocks and bommies in the shallows and deeper is a ridge with very rich soft coral growth. Both areas have fantastic fish and invertebrate life, with regular shark, barracuda and larger fish sightings.
Batu Kelebit
This dive site is a group of rocks that protrude from the surface, just a few hundred metres along the rocky coast from Alam Anda. Beautiful ridges of reef drop steeply to depths of 30-50 metres, where Sharks, Barracuda and larger pelagics are often sighted. Unlike the darker volcanic sand inside Tulamben Bay, Batu Kelebit has white sand between the coral outcrops. So this is more of a 'traditional' coral reef, the shallows are dominated by hard coral outcrops surrounded by Damsel Fish and Anthias.
Large Sea Cucumbers in fascinating colours meander around the sand patches, Mantis Shrimp dart around in search of a meal, and Lionfish cruise above fields of staghorn corals. This site has a mooring buoy and like Alam Anda, is accessed by jukung from Tulamben Bay.

Alam Anda
It lies outside of Tulamben Bay, just around the headland from the Drop-Off. This dive site is accessed by boat from Tulamben Bay, but this is no ordinary boat dive! Fishermen from the village take divers out in a Jukung - a traditional Balinese outrigger canoe. Leaving from the beach adjacent to the Drop-Off, the journey is a pleasant 5 minutes with views back to Mount Agung and the surrounding coast. The real experience is at the dive-site, putting on equipment in the confines of a narrow canoe.
The boatmen are great helpers and very quickly you are descending to the edge of a steep rocky reef. Gorgonia fans and soft corals sprout from large ridges and rocks that are spread along the reef face. Pelagic fish parade past and many reef fish meander around the corals.
Depths start at six metres and continue way beyond scuba diving limits - watch your depth gauge. At the end of your dive be prepared to remove your dive equipment and climb back into the Jukung.
