Tulamben Dive — Local services in Kecamatan Kubu

We had an amazing time dining with Tulamben Dive for the past 3 days. My 13yo was newly certified and we were each assigned a wonderful guide so that we could enjoy the underwater world together and separately. Wayan took great care of the kid, keeping a very close eye on her and giving her diving tips. He spotted a small shark and a ray among other things, which was very exciting for her first ocean dives. I was teamed up with Yuda, who also had a great eye and was kind enough to get a little cold to extend my bottom time to over 60-70min as I've got more dives under my belt and don't use a ton of air. We saw a great variety between Liberty Wreck, the Drop Off, Relax/Boga Wreck, Coral Garden, Monkey Reef and Melasti. I had a great time on my first muck dive. Not once did we feel rushed. Plenty of tea/water/coffee and snacks were included, as was equipment rental and lunch after the dives. The equipment all worked well. These were my first shore dives and there were medium waves, so I appreciated Yuda and Wayak's expert help to help us get out after the dives. Our individual wishes and timelines were completely taken into account, and my teen was sometimes taken back to the shop to relax and warm up long before I finished off my dives. The first couple days the guides took some photos/videos with my camera, but on my third day the shop was happy to oblige my request for Yuda to have his own in case my beginner shots didn't turn out. His photos and videos were great! Everyone was very welcoming and helpful, and I couldn't recommend them more strongly. Having just done a couple dives in Pemuteran, I'd say so far the experience with Tulamben Dive was better with the personal guides and the variety of sea life to see. Thanks for an awesome start to my new diving...

The best dive shop so far I have ever went to. The family in Tulamben Dive were extremely welcoming, treated us like family throughout our stay. We stayed at their accomodation, located right beside the dive center. The breakfast, lunches, and occasional goreng pisang treats were the best. We even had countdown celebration as we stayed from 30 Dec - 2 Jan.

We even had a babi guling party on the night of 31st - along with endless fireworks, chatting with the entire extended family of divemasters, wives, kids and their dogs.

Every morning, we were greeted with bright smiles at 7am, an ungodly time to be so cheery back home. 3 of my friends took an OW course and praised their instructors for being caring and reassuring throughout the course. Another 3 of us were advanced divers and were brought to the famous USAT and Boga wreck along with other dives with sightings of turtles, electric clam, moray eels and so much more! We had a night dive at USAT - saw the resident grouper, a huge lobster, a sleeping turtle and were also treated to a strong underwater current right before we surfaced. Our dive masters, Yuda, Tekut and Wayan were so calm throughout our 5 dives. They were all extremely knowledgable about the dive sites and knew where to hide in the event of currents. Wayan also took over our gopro and started having an underwater shoot with us almost everywhere.

Highly recommend the team at Tulamben dive. We...

This is a great scuba diving center!! I chose this center because of the great reviews and I wasn’t disappointed: they even exceeded my expectations. I did the open water diver course with Ryan, who is incredibly knowledgeable, experienced and a fun instructor. I am an anxious person, so Ryan made sure I learnt to keep calm under water and get my anxiety under control. After the course I did a couple of fun dives with Yuda, who was an amazing guide and person to dive with. He was very calm, friendly and made sure I felt comfortable during the dives. If you want more details, keep reading. Here is my list of pros and cons: ✅ Pros: 100% locally owned with 100% local divers They do reef conservation work during the offseason You’ll feel very safe because they usually have a guide for every two persons. This is also great, because this way they can make sure you are not damaging corals. Equipment in a very good condition They set up the equipment for you, if you are doing fun dives… the only thing you have to do is put it on and enjoy the dive! Great location: quiet and a great place to chill Under water pictures and videos Free hotel pick up Free lunch, coffee and water (don’t know if the lunch applies if you do just one dive or snorkeling) Towels ❌ Cons: You might find yourself missing Tulamben dive the next time you go scuba diving in a...
