Seraya Secrets
A black volcanic sand slope just south of Tulamben that looks bare at first and turns out to be one of Bali's best-known critter sites. Scattered rocks, small coral patches and debris hide harlequin shrimps, mimic octopus, ghost pipefish, frogfish, seahorses, flamboyant cuttlefish and boxer crabs, plus a long list of nudibranchs. Conditions are usually calm with minimal current.
