Why dive here
With 246+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue-spotted stingrays, bull sharks, grey reef sharks, manta rays and mobula rays (devil rays) - Tulamben offers some of Lombok & Gili Islands's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest April, November, December.
Tulamben’s USS Liberty wreck is a staple for a reason. Resting just a stone’s throw from the shore, the ship is draped in soft corals and sponges, painted in oranges and purples that really pop even on an overcast day. You’ll find schools of fusiliers weaving through the superstructure, and if you look closely, lionfish often shelter in the nooks. It’s a shallow, easy dive, maxing out around 12 meters, making it perfect for newer divers or those who just want a relaxed second dive. Head out early to catch the morning light filtering through the wreck and avoid the busiest crowds.
