Tulamben
has become Bali's most famous diving area and therefore where you
are most likely to meet internationally recognised underwater photographers
and writers. Tulamben Bay, like the rest of Bali, is situated in
the richest marine biogeographic zone in the world. Tulamben is

Regency. The bay receives very plankton-rich waters from the
major ocean current that moves from the Pacific to the Indian Ocean.

totally different physical environments, mean that Tulamben contains
a stunningly diverse underwater ecosystem.
