Diving in Bali (720p)
Scuba diving in Bali. This DVD is available at
Diving in Bali is a document of an extraordinary expedition I made to Indonesia's magical island of Bali in 2006 with Aquamarine Diving,
From Tulamben's awesome USAT Liberty wreck, to the reef manta rays of Nusa Penida, via the fascinating macro marine life of Tulamben and Seraya Secrets, the footage covers the breadth of Bali's fascinating underwater world.
The video features 158 species of marine life, and their common and scientific names are available by turning on the captions with the CC button under the video. Viewers can now contribute subtitles for the marine life names in this video in many languages. Find out more at
From Tulamben there is footage of the wreck of the USAT Liberty in both day time and night time, including the humphead parrotfish that spend the night there. Also from Tulamben are numerous marine live encounters from dives at the Drop-Off and the Coral Garden.
Just around the corner we make a dive at Seraya Secrets, a macro hotspot where I encountered seahorses and nudibranchs.
From Padangbai on the east coast of Bali we have footage from The Blue Lagoon and Pura Jepun.
From the island of Nusa Penida we have the manta ray cleaning station, Manta Point, and Ped.
Full list of dive sites featured in this video:
1. USAT Liberty Shipwreck, Tulamben
The USAT Liberty was torpedoed by the Japanese off Lombok and beached at Tulamben in Bali. In 1963 the last eruption of Mount Agung caused the wreck to slide deeper into the sea where she lies today. The USAT Liberty shipwreck makes an excellent dive site. This video features the towering stern, the coral-encrusted gun on the bow, green humphead parrotfish (Bolbometopon muricatum), a Pacific hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata bissa), garden eels, sweetlips and lots of other interesting marine life from the wreck and its surroundings.
The USAT Liberty also makes a fantastic night dive. Green humphead parrotfish sleep in the protection of the wreck. Other highlights include a Spanish dancer and a bluespotted ribbontail ray.
2. Coral Garden, Tulamben
The Coral Garden at Tulamben lies conveniently right off the middle of the beach. Skunk cleaner shrimps tend to moray eels and groupers at a cleaning station based around a barrel sponge. Also featuring a ribbon eel, ghost pipefish, leaf scorpionfish and trevallies schooling in the shallows.
3. Tulamben Drop-Off
Video from the Drop-Off at Tulamben, Bali, featuring a spectacular giant purple knotted sea fan, nudibranchs, a ghost pipefish and a seahorse. Before and after exploring the Drop-Off we spend time in the shallows where we meet Tulamben's famous schools of trevallies.
By night the drop-off at Tulamben provides plenty of treats for the visiting diver. This video includes a squat lobster, a cone shell, a dwarf cuttlefish, a hermit crab and various pretty reef fish.
4. Seraya Secrets
Seraya Secrets, nearby to Tulamben, is an exellent muck dive known for weird and wonderful critters. Here we encounter some batfish around the artificial reef project in the shallows. A little deeper we find 2 thorny seahorses, catfish, an anemone crab and nudibranchs.
5. Blue Lagoon, Padangbai
The Padangbai area on the east coast of Bali provides some fantastic diving. Just north of Padangbai lies the Blue Lagoon. This footage comes from my first ever dive in Indonesia with a video camera and features leaf scorpionfish, cuttelfish, anemonefish, lionfish, shrimps, catfish, nudibranchs, moorish idols and a goby.
6. Pura Jepun, Padangbai
Pura Jepun also lies just north of Padangbai and is home to some fantastic marine life. This video features clownish, sweetlips, angelfish, a peacock mantis shrimp, a stingray, a panther grouper, a wart slug, ribbon eels, a scorpionfish and a flying gurnard.
7. Manta Point, Nusa Penida
On the north-east side of Nusa Penida lies a cleaning station for reef manta rays (Manta alfredi) known as Manta Point. On 23rd May 2006 we had the pleasure of diving with these graceful giants.
8. PED, Nusa Penida
Ped is sloping reef on the north coast of Nusa Penida. Here we encounter a variety of tropical reef fishes including angelfish, triggerfish, anemonefish and scorpionfish, as well as a rhizostome jellyfish.

#diving #tulamben #underwater #bali
This film is the beginning of our story about the great diving in Bali, and specifically in Tulamben.
Many thanks to our friend, underwater photographer Yuri Ivanov @diveivanov4950 for invaluable help in shooting this film......
The bay is located near the Lombok Strait, through which a powerful current passes. Together with huge masses of water, plankton, fish, larvae and spores of various marine creatures are brought here. Because the underwater world in this area is very diverse.
In total, about 400 species of reef fish and about 100 species of large pelagic fish are found on Tulamben sites. Small animals are more common here than large ones.
Lovers of underwater macro photography, beautiful seascapes and landscapes, as well as those who like to explore and look at interesting underwater objects, will like it here.
The beach and the seabed are covered with black sand, large pebbles, stones and pieces of hardened lava. Against the background of stones and dark sand, colored polyps, mollusks and fish look very impressive.

Diving Bali 'Through The Mist'
Our latest diving adventure was a week spent in Tulamben, Bali. We stayed at the Matahari Resort, which is very well equipped for divers and excellent value for money.
Visibility was a not quite crystal clear as it can be in the area. But it did give it an interesting atmosphere. This was particularly noticeable around the resort itself and the garden of statues known as 'Suci Place'. It reminded me of an early morning mist, hence the name of the video.
We did a number of dives over the trip but for this video I've chosen to focus on 'Suci Place' and the Boga Wreck which is a short drive away at Kubu along with the stunning Tirta Gangga Royal Water Gardens.
We have also uploaded a version of this video to our other channel 'Oz in Pictures' as that channel features many picturesque locations in Australia and around the world.
