Tulamben Coral Garden
A shallow, gently sloping reef just along the beach from the Liberty, usually dived as the second dive of the morning. Hard and soft corals, artificial structures and a garden of statues give it an underwater-gallery feel, and the brightest life sits at around 5 m. A large field of anemones with their clownfish, ribbon eels, mantis shrimps and many nudibranchs make it a favourite with macro photographers; turtles and small reef sharks also turn up.
