Tulamben
Tulamben is a village by the sea in the north-east of Bali, 2 hours from Sanur with an arid and poor landscape;
Its range consists of pebbles and black sand from Mount Agung and the eruption of the volcano in 1963.
The dive site offers the opportunity to enjoy hot water and many fish.
The development of dive sites has enabled the residents to work as block holders. Do not be shocked to see a woman putting 2 blocks on her head. It's her job.
L'épave US LIBERTY
The U.S.S. Liberty was a cargo of 120 m long, built in 1918 in New Jersey (USA) which was requisitioned by the U.S. Army during World War II. Thus, this ship was armed with 2 canon guns (one big gun in front and one small in the back). During his last trip, this ship was hit by 2 torpedoes from a Japanese submarine on June 11, 1942 when it crossed the Straits of Lombok. It was towed towards Singaraja, but taking too much water, it was stranded on the beach of Tulamben after beig emptied of its cargo. It stayed from 1942 to 1963 on the beach. The earthquake that has caused the eruption of Mount Agung made the ship slid into the sea. Bali has its wreckage for more than 40 years, and it is a pleasure for us to take you to get to know it.
