Muck diving in Tulamben is famous for its amazing variety of nudibranchs and many other critters. Over 45 different species of nudibranchs appear in this video, some of them still undescribed. We have captured flatworms, head shields and many other tiny critters as well. Spectacular was the early morning dive at the ship wreck of the USAT Liberty with the mighty bumphead parrot fishs and oriental sweetlips.
We stayed one week in April at the wonderful Villa Markisa Dive Resort in Tulamben just in front of the famous Seraya secret dive site, where countless nudibranchs can be sighted. Villa Markisa is well known among nudibranch enthusiasts and the owner is deeply involved in the taxonomy of these fascinating animals.
