About the place
An American transport torpedoed in 1942 and pushed into the sea by the 1963 Agung eruption. It lies 30 metres from shore at 5 to 30 metres depth, entirely overgrown with coral. The most dived wreck in the world and the reason Tulamben exists: dozens of dive centres, shore entries straight off the beach, hundreds of divers a day in season.
For an investor it is a steady dive audience that comes year-round.
