Listed as one of the best wreck dives in the world, amazingly enough the hull is relatively intact and has formed a beautiful artificial reef providing a home to thousands of marine animals, plant life, hard and soft coral. At the eastern end of the bay, there is a coral wall that plummets to beyond 60 m. Here is where the fantasies of many divers dwell. Tulamben is ideal for wreck diving, deep diving, underwater photography and night diving.
