About this site
Drop Off is a wall dive at Tulamben in Bali, counted among the top destinations on that stretch of coast. The wall starts at a depth of only 3 metres and reaches more than 80 metres at its deepest, with its face covered in sponges.
Life on the wall runs from common reef fish to frogfish, many kinds of nudibranch, leaf scorpionfish, clown triggerfish and octopuses of all sizes. Out in the blue, divers have spotted sharks and big tunas, as well as marlin, and sometimes even a mola mola.
