Drop Off

This dive site is at the end of Tulamben Bay with a sheer vertical drop plunging beyond 70 meters—a dramatic result of Mount Agung’s 1963 lava flow. Perfect for all skill levels, the site’s depth can be tailored to your experience, from shallow coral gardens to adrenaline-pumping wall descents. A short swim from the black sand entry reveals an enchanting underwater realm: the dancing sands because of the volcanic activities, the cliff face draped in gorgonian fans, sponges, and overhanging rock formations, creating a thriving habitat for marine life. Schools of batfish and trevallies patrol the blue, while macro hunters can spot pygmy seahorses, flamboyant cuttlefish, and crustaceans tucked into the cracks. The shallow ledge (5–15m) offers sunlit coral patches teeming with clownfish, making it ideal for snorkelers and new divers. With easy beach access, calm conditions, and unmatched biodiversity, the Drop Off delivers wall diving at its finest—where volcanic history meets vibrant ocean life.
