Description
The site is covered with statues and metallic structures that were sunk by local Balinese diving associations, such as pyramids and a plane made of wire. These human-made structures are perfect to create an artificial reef, which attracts corals, seaweed, and various species of fish that like to nest and hide in such formations. Also, thanks to great visibility, this dive site of Tulamben is perfect for underwater photography.

The Coral Garden is rich in macro life, including hard to find species such as ghost pipefish, leaf scorpion fish, and harlequin and mantis shrimps. It is also home to plenty of striking nudibranches – during night dives keep an eye out for the alluring spanish dancer. This site is also one of the best places to see one of the most recognizable reef dwellers, the brightly striped clownfish, which can be found peeking out of the large patches of anemones. The Coral Garden is an excellent place to spot bright blue and yellow ribbon eels. You may also see squid, cuttlefish, and schools of trevally, sweetlip and snapper, along with the black and white tip reef sharks that often prowl the area.
