Tulamben in east Karangasem is a black-sand village known for the USAT Liberty wreck for diving/snorkeling. Plan 60-90 minutes on the beach (longer for a dive). Beach access is generally free (0/0); dive/snorkel operator fees are separate. Needs an east day - do not force it from Kuta without an early start. Typical hours 00:00-24:00. Confirm hours and prices with an agent the day before you lock this stop into the day. Bring small cash for tickets or parking, and wear shoes that match the terrain.
