About Tulamben
The small village of Tulamben, on Bali's north-eastern
coast is rather unremarkable at first glance. Its beach is a spread
of black sand covered by smooth, fist-size rocks, the water-worn
remains of rubble cast here by the 1963 eruption of Mt. Agung.
Like all the north coast villages, there are no lush rice fields
here - Mt. Agung and the other mountains steal the rain, which comes
from moisture-laden air that blows in from the south. Thus South
Bali is the island's rice bowl.
What brings people to Tulamben however, is not visible from above
water. People come here to dive and explore the fantastic underwater
world of Tulamben Bay. The resort is the ideal place to start the
explorations.
