Dive-site story
Torpedoed by a Japanese submarine during World War II and pushed into the sea by the eruption of Mount Agung, this cargo vessel rests parallel to Tulamben's black sand beach. Hard corals, gorgonian fans, and sponges encrust the hull. At dawn, schooling bumphead parrotfish patrol the upper structure before day-trip crowds arrive. The shallow bow and deeper stern allow divers across training levels to explore different sections.
