- weet9800 contributionsGood experience and good deal with this dive center - will book with them again when I go back to TulambenGoogled for a dive center to do diving for a day in Tulamben and Let's Dive Tulamben came up consistently with another dive center. I finally settled on Let's Dive Tulamben as they were more responsive and was able to cater to my asks - I wanted a quick refresher, asked for private guide and to complete the dives before lunch. The dive master (Nyoman or Norman) was good and patient, bringing me gradually to deeper waters and pointing out different types of fish and even moray eels in the Coral Gardens Dive. Then he guided me on the US Liberty ship wreck (my first wreck dive), taking many pictures for me. All in all, a good experience at the right price for me.Written 30 March 2024

- 728aril0 contributionsThe best of the Mecca of muck divingI just returned from a 2 weeks trip to Tulamben. I first met Yansu 7 years ago, when he was still working for another dive operator. He impressed me as one of the best dive guides I've had during my 34 years of diving, so when I heard he has started his own business, I didn't hesitate to contact him. When he couldn't dive with us, he trusted us in the hands of Kadek, another excellent dive guide. The business is still small, and couldn't offer us accommodation, but they are already building new facilities. There are already enough people to ensure you a memorable experience in a diving paradise: instructors, guides, cooks, drivers and maintenance staff. After opening your gear box, you can leave your equipment in the cunning hands of the staff. It will be washed and taken good care of throughout your stay. People come to Tulamben to see small stuff. Macro photographers fly there from all around the world to make pics of creatures you only see in a few other places, but there the critters are all gathered on a relatively small area. If you want to see bigger stuff like Mola mola (June to September) or manta rays, there are trips to dive spots nearby too. Yansu is a photographer too, and he probably knows your camera at least as well as you do, so he can give you useful hints (if you have new equipment and feel insecure with it, he'll even take some photos for you to ensure that you have at least some good ones ;) ) I can warmly recommend the services of this small dive operator and its friendly and effective staff!Written 24 December 2023
- 524randib0 contributionsI love Let’s Dive TulambenAmazing dive and the best people at Let’s Dive Tulamben. Madi took me for a refresher dive and a fun dive after not diving for 16 years. I felt safe straight away, and the view of the wreck was spetacular. Not crowded at all in eqroy December. I can not recommend this enough ❤️Written 2 December 2023

Great overall experience and well worth the 2 hrs drive from Ubud! The team organized an excellent driver for us on short notice, price was 600k from Ubud which we thought was fair. Good car with recliner seats, we were able to sleep a little. Very chill dive shop with good consultation. Yummy local food and cold beers after the second dive! I used it as a refresher for my open water after not having dived for 1.5 years, my wife had never tried Scuba before - we were able to both go in at the same time and enjoy this beautiful spot together! Great couple experience. We had one dive master each taking care of us, which helped make us feel safe! Important to recognize that it is a mental challenge, especially for first timers. The team did a good job in briefing us, and giving us enough time to try things out in shallow water. Much better than a cement pool! They took great professional photos so we were able to focus on technique, safety and simply enjoy the scenery. The shipwreck is stunning! Great visibility, pleasant water temperature, we saw beautiful hard and soft coral, an array of reef fish, two octopus, moray eels, it was awe inspiring. A reminder of the fantastic diversity of different life forms on our planet, and the importance of preserving this beauty for future generations! Get your wetsuits on!

I had a great experience scuba diving with Let's Dive Tulamben. My girlfriend took her PADI Open Water Course with Yansu who took great care of her. I did 7 fun dives with them. The centre is well-equipped and the equipment is regularly maintained and of high quality. It is staffed by a close knit family and we enjoyed their hospitality throughout our time there. Yansu even brought us some home-cooked Balinese meal from his home for our enjoyment. Yansu is very experienced and made sure to always keep an eye out for my girlfriend's safety. His instructions were clear and his teaching was excellent. My girlfriend enjoyed the course very much and is looking forward to taking her PADI Advanced with him.
During our dives here, the divemasters and instructors pointed out interesting corals, fishes and structures and there was a good variety of underwater life. During our night dive, one of the divemasters swapped his torchlight with me when he realised my torch was running out of battery which I thought was very observant of him. Special shout-out to instructor Nyoman and divemasters Alit and Kadek for accompanying us for our dives. I highly recommend this centre to anyone looking to dive in Bali or Tulamben.

Great experience! After receiving instructions on site and trying out the gear, we went to the coral garden to start the beginner experience. We felt very safe and looked after by Dive Master Ketut. After some further instructions and training we enjoyed a 30min dive exploring the coral garden and under water statues, after the dive we had 40min break during which we were served some delicious fried banana and coffee. We then went to the do the ship wreck dive which was amazing. Definitely would recommend! Ketut made us feel safe and ensured we were doing well the whole time, he also took photos and videos for us to remember the experience. Thanks Let’s Dive Tulamben for a fantastic dive experience!

My friends want to try scuba diving so i brought them here. So they did “discover scuba diving” course.
As a starter, Mr Nyoman brief us with basic knowledge, with do and don’t and also the serious risk if we did not follow the procedure. They also have QnA session if anyone still don’t understand.
After explaining we go for a shallow dive. Our instructor test us for 3 common problem that will occur during the dive, which are: Mask clearing, regulator clearing, and full open mask with water.
It all went good and we continue to dive to the main attraction: U.S.A.T Liberty wreck.
Each of my friends accompany by divemaster as we go deeper to the wreck. Every dive-guides are helpful and making sure my friends are okay and comfortable. The dive go smooth that my friends are happy and very excited about the experience.
One of my friend have trouble to equalize. The divemaster always make sure that she can equalize before going any deeper. At certain depth, she struggle to equalize right ear, so she cant go any deeper. Mr Gde (if I’m not mistaken) maintain the comfortable depth so that her ear is not getting any more depth pressure.
My dive buddy is Mr Nyoman himself. I cant recommend him enough, he know all the spot! Not only that, he always make sure everyone of us not separated.
Overall, Lets Dive have great hospitality, well treat gears, fresh tank and provide us awesome dive experience!
Thank you Lets Dive.

Safety was clearly a top priority for the dive center. This was the first dive center that I’ve been to where every participant had their own divemaster to guide them (usually there are buddy systems where 2-4 participants are paired with one divemaster). Having your own divemaster made all the difference! It helped calm our nerves and allowed each of us to learn at our own pace. The dive guides were all very kind and knowledgeable. They made jokes to lighten the mood when everyone was tense, but also truly made sure that we were each able to do all the basic scuba diving skills on our own before taking us to deeper waters.
Definitely a recommended dive center for anyone who wants to try diving for the first time!

My husband and I did our first and second dives with Let's Dive last week and it was the best experience I could have imagined.
The team is amazing - friendly, safe and fun. There is one dive master with each diver which is something I have never heard of before and is so reassuring. My husband can't swim and the team ensured he had such a great time he actually went in for a third dive as well!
The gear is in great condition, the dive centre has great facilities (bathrooms, snacks etc) and i will definitely recommend this to anyone looking to go diving.
Thank you, Team Let's Dive!

Diving with Let's Dive Tulamben is such an honor for me. They are very kind and helpful to us. I took Enrich Air certificate with them for better dive. Bli Nyoman is very kind and funny person. All crew are amazing, they are very helpful and giving us so many pictures to be a memories of this dive.
We (me and my friends) are able to take : early morning dive, sunset dive and night dive along with normal time dive on Let's Dive Tulamben and they know best spots or best moment to be taken in every dive. We are lucky to meet tons of amazing creatures underwater. I will never forget my very first experience with flashlight fish that is giving me tears of joy because I was able to see something so pretty underwater. I am proud to dive with them again.
Definitely will be back here. Aside of the dive, they are giving us a home vibes through all of chitchats, barbeque time, karaoke and the jokes. Thank you for giving me reason to be back there soon. See you really soon Lets Dive Tulamben!

Awesome dive centre to get your Padi certification. They provided the Padi book for the knowledge course, dive logs and even took photos of us underwater on our last dive which they shared with us straight to our phones, really amazing service! We highly recommend Nyoman he is a very experienced, professional tutor great for beginner divers as well as more advanced, you would have a lot to learn from his great knowledge of diving around Tulamben. The dive centre had a really positive energy and we even enjoyed a bbq meal one evening with Nyoman and the staff, which was a lovely gesture and really made us feel more relaxed over the days of our Padi course. Book here you won’t regret it!

Truly loved the experience of diving here! Very professional yet homey at the same time.
They took really good care of me and my husband: even though we are advanced divers, they still insisted to do a refresher to ensure our safety.
The divemasters there are all warm and professional (we really enjoyed our time with Bli Komang) and it's truly awesome to see a locally owned dive shop that's well functioning 💪
Also had the chance to see how the courses were done, and I would definitely say it was done in the strictest regard with a whole lot of patience.
They were also very knowledgeable in the area and offer sunset and night dives that are top notch (we saw some flashlight fish)!
Definitely will come back again for sure!

Best thing about this dive center is, they welcome you as their friends and family. Trust and bond translate as being safe and taken care in good hands of professionals scuba diving instructors and divemasters.
The owners & staff are friendly and helpful. No need to bring any gear as they provide everything. Just ask away if you need anything or want to have meals during your surface interval, they will gladly help you.
Tulamben offers one of the most popular dive sites in the world, the USAT Liberty Wreck. It is an amazing divesite with wide variety of colorful corals and tropical fish. We never get enough of this spot and always want to come back. Easy to accessed through the shore, even the first-timer divers will feel confident.
Highly recommended!
