Diving Sidem Tulamben

A Hidden Gem for Divers in Bali

If you’re looking for a unique diving experience in Bali, Sidem is the perfect spot. Located in the Tulamben area, this dive site is a hidden gem that offers a peaceful atmosphere. Divers can enter the water from anywhere along the beach on this large dive site.

The shallow waters of Sidem consist of a sandy plateau that slopes down to a few meters before dropping further into the depths. The abundance of critters in the shallows makes it a great place to spend time at the end of a dive. Large rocks, concrete moorings, and rubble all offer shelter for interesting creatures such as bumblebee shrimp, tiger shrimp, mantis shrimp, lionfish, and more.

Further down the slope, the bottom consists of larger rocks, seagrass beds, and invertebrate life such as coral and crinoids. Another feature of the slope is large areas of encrusting sponge as well as a variety of other sponge life. All of these areas offer protection for marine life such as harlequin shrimp, moray eels, leaffish, and frogfish. In the areas between these oases, other marine life thrives such as rare nudibranchs, seahorses, scorpionfish, and flying gurnards. One of the most sought-after creatures for divers is also found at Sidem: the rhinopias.

Sidem is an interesting site for photographers and non-photographers alike. Critter lovers thrive during the hunt for exotic marine life. Nudibranch enthusiasts love this site due to the number of bizarre and rare slugs found here. Photographers love this site both day and night as there is always something interesting to shoot. A night dive is always a great idea here due to the difference between day time to nighttime inhabitants. Some of the highlight night inhabitants at Sidem include boxer crabs, coconut octopus, spearing mantis shrimp, and more.

My wife did a Underwater photo course with Jerome. All was very well organized in a very relaxed way and the results were incredible. Before photos were average but after 1 full day of training the quality and level of interest in her Makro photos improved to a absolute "I love to see her photos level. After being back in Bali I told her to do another training and it was worth it as well. Highly recommended !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Très belle expérience mémorable avec Jérôme et son équipe. Beaucoup de partage et de générosité ! Jérôme a été adorable et professionnel. Passionné, à l'écoute, pédagogue, réactif, il s'applique à personnaliser la théorie et la pratique selon les demandes et besoins, et transmet copieusement son savoir et ses techniques (et même des photos bonus en plus =)). Le tout dans une ambiance parfaite. Je conseille de faire plusieurs jours à ses côtés afin de pouvoir pleinement profiter de l'apprentissage et parvenir à une bonne maîtrise durable pour votre pratique, photo comme vidéo. Merci pour tous ces moments et a très vite ! Plouf ! Maria

J'ai passé 5 jours avec Jérôme pour effectuer un stage de photographie sous-marine... et quelle rencontre ! Quelle expérience ! Jérôme est très pédagogue, avec une approche graduelle adaptée pour un débutant en prises de vues sous-marines comme moi. Il m'a transmis les fondamentaux pour obtenir des clichés optimaux. J'ai été étonné de ma progression rapide effectuée à ses côtés. J'ai été très content des résultats obtenus ! Alors, que vous soyez débutant ou pas en photo/vidéo subaquatique, foncez chez Plouf Diving avec Jérôme pour vous former !
