Tulamben

OWD 3 & OWD 4 at Tulamben, therefore the USAT Liberty which is the star dive site on Bali. Each dive with the relevant skills tests followed by a swim around and into the wreck as appropriate. Visibility mediocre today, so actually quite difficult to get the perspective of the site and the ship, it runs from 9m depth to about 30m along the slope, today we were limited to 12m by the OWD, so looking forward to several dives planned on the booking board to get to know this one better. Some of the instructors can point out each room of the ship.

On the way back up we came up under a large shoal of feeding Jack fish which was impressive, followed by feeding Surgeon fish who were being a bit opportunistic, once the Surgeon clocked food they were all around us eyeball to eyeball through the mask.

Long drive there and back, but interesting to get out into the countryside, endless rice terraces, coconut palms and bananas etc etc, everything especially the rice is extraordinarily verdant after all the rain, excellent views on the Agung volcano.

Stunning sunset on the beach, watching the planes across the bay going in and out of the airport, it's a good job you cannot see the approach over the ocean as a passenger ........ !
