Tulamben is a small fishing village on the north-east coast of Bali. It is among the most popular dive sites on Bali since the wreck of the Liberty, a US Army Transport ship torpedoed by a Japanese submarine in 1942 lies just off shore. During high-season, up to 100 divers descend to the wreck each day.

The town's name is derived from the word batulambih, which roughly translates as "many stones", a reference to the destructive eruptions by Mount Agung that have affected this part of Bali from time to time. The beach in Tulamben is not made of sand, but is entirely covered with fairly large, smooth stones. The modern name evolved over time, first to "Batulamben" and finally settling on the contraction Tulamben ("batu" means "stone" in Indonesian).

From the whole dive experience in Tulamben Bali, one image that amazed me is this woman carrying 2 dive gears (INCLUDING FULL AIR TANKS) balancing it on her head, walking from one end of the beach to another. I can barely carry my full set of dive gear with tank, its no joke its heavy.. and this woman... is super woman....
Tulamben is a shore dive, no need for boats...
