Tulamben coral slope with boat access and rich reef life.
Tulamben coral slope with boat access and rich reef life.
Emerald is a jukung-access Tulamben reef dive where a coral slope drops away from a calm white-sand bay into deeper water. The site mixes natural coral, sponges, and artificial-reef features such as a sunken car, so it suits certified divers who are comfortable with buoyancy and a possible drift. Expect a colorful slope with pygmy seahorses, garden eels, nudibranchs, cuttlefish, ghost pipefish, and other photogenic Bali critters rather than a simple shallow beach session.
