| The Drop Off (aka Tulamben Wall) is a dive site located at the end of Tulamben Bay, Bali. Accessible directly from Tulamben Beach, the Drop Off dive site is a vertical underwater cliffside that starts at a depth of 1 metre and drops to a depth of 70+ metres. This dramatic natural feature was formed by the lava flow from the eruption of Mount Agung in 1963. The main wall of the Tulamben Drop Off is formed by the western most of three coral covered, lava spurs. The wall has a nice, craggy structure and is exceedingly rich in marine life. The Drop Off can be dived on various levels depending on experience and makes an excellent multi-level dive. Besides amazing coral growth, this reef features an unbelievable landscape sculpted by many overhanging rocks. The presence of smaller reef fish is abundant, with angelfish being the species worth mentioning. Besides emperor angelfish, yellow-faced angelfish and blue-banded angelfish can be found with the duke fish rounding out the selection as a member of the angelfish family. Often, huge schools of trevally and bumphead parrotfish pass the wall, darkening the sun. Although it is a wall, this dive site is also suitable for snorkelling.
