Tulamben, Bali
Prime Critter Hunting Territory

The picturesque Tulamben coast of Northeast Bali.

Located on the northeast coast of Bali, Indonesia, is a small village called Tulamben. Beside this mile-long stretch of arid coastline lies an incredible underwater environment populated by a variety of rare and unusual marine creatures. Take a look at Roger Steene's book Coral Seas and you will see that the many of the photos were taken at Tulamben. It's the kind of place that you could either love or hate. A diver who prefers white sand bottoms reflecting brightly in the sun, acres of coral gardens, clouds of reef fishes, or encounters with schools of pelagics might find Tulamben boring after a few dives. If, however, you are the kind of diver who enjoys hunting for and finding the rare and unusual marine life, Tulamben should be on the top of your "to dive" list. It's the subject of this CoralRealm article.
