Galungan
Occurring every 210 days, Galungan is the most important Balinese Hindu ceremony. Lasting for 10 days, the end is marked by Kuningan Ceremony, the deified ancestors descending to their former homes. They must be welcomed and entertained, prayers and offerings must be made for them.
Taking into account that most Balinese will visit their ancestral home in the course of the day - even if it is situated in a different part of the island - It does not make one wonder that on Galungan the efficiency and overall functioning of the island is somewhat decreased..
But as always everybody is welcome by the Balinese Hindu to celebrate with them that special day. Pro-tip: Although out of tradition Balinese food is somewhat spicey, on Galungan you most likely find the best traditional Balinese dishes served.

Chinese New Year
quite some percentage of all Indonesian population is of Chinese origin. So it's no surprice that Chinese New Year is official state holiday.
Chinese New Year now is the most important of all traditional Chinese holiday, also known as Spring Festival and thus marking the end of the winter season.
Traditions on how to exactly celebrate that day vary wildly, taking into account how many people and countries, cities and boroughs are implicated. Mostly people will pour out their money to buy presents, decorations, food and clothing. Families will thoroughly clean the house and on that way sweep out all misfortune to guarantee a good start into the New Year - the year of the Dragon!.

Did you know - Arak
Arak is a Balinese Liquor distilled from Tuak, a rather special wine made from the coconut palm flower. Tuak is about 5% alcohol. Good arak can contain over 50%. Some Arak is distilled from Brem, a wine made from black glutinous rice and coconut milk.
Arak isn't only used for recreational purposes, it's widely utilized for medical and religious reasons. Many Balinese, who are practitioners of traditional Balinese medicine, utilize it externally to relieve aches and pains as well as a part of cures for more serious problems. It is also used in Balinese Hindu ceremonies.
Please don't confuse this product with the Arak that's the Turkish national drink.

Dive Guide Service
And this time in a way most won't have expected at this place: Tauch Terminal Tulamben cares for our guides.
Every year, mostly right after high season, we send our guides to a medical check up to Sanglah University Hospital. The procedure includes lung x-ray and a lengthy stay in their recompression chamber. That basically serves the purpose to get them, after a long saison, completely grounded again - nitrogen wise of course.
We work hard and do everything humanly possible to keep that the only occasion we do send somebody there.

Stonefish
Stonefishes are really not easy to find, why? Because they are mostly held for stones and they really do not look like fishes, they also lurk mostly motionless for prey. If you see they swimming then it looks not just beautiful, it looks more like hopping around. However, interested to see them, we help you to find these unique animals.

Raining Season
It is kind of an urban legend for most people not living in the tropics what actually "Raining Season" really means. To try and contribute somewhat to the topic I'd like to give a brief description what it actually means, here in Tulamben.
To start with, you hardly ever will have rain for days on end. Worst case scenario in Tulamben rather means a cloud cover for 3 or 4 successive days. It might rain for 2 hours, let it sometimes be 3, most of the time significantly shorter. And a normal scenario here in Tulamben mostly means a sunny morning, midafternoon some clouds start to drift in and after the shower it starts to clear up again.
Most important though, diving conditions are quite seldom affected. Exceptions only happen when there's a worlds end scenario up in the mountains and the water reaches the shore as kinda river. Contrary to what many believe the Raining Season is an excellent time for divers. Even more so with respect to water temperatures and crowds.

To show to our guests the absolute unique position of our Tulamben Resort to the famous WWII "USS Liberty" shipwreck we hired a helicopter to make some air shots.

Our favorite season - the Mango season...
we're all happy now here in Tulamben - finally after 7 month without rain, the raining season seems to cheer Bali again. The beautiful landscape of North and East Bali blooms in juicy green and the beloved Mango fruit season is only a few weeks ahead. The daily short cloudburst is very welcomed by everybody because
it cleans the air and delivers refreshment from the daily humidity. We love the Mango season.......

the American president Barak Obama and his Asian opposite numbers arrived meanwhile safe and sound on Bali Island to join the 19th Asean Summit on the resort island Nusa Dua. The VIP machinery is under full steam and our island bursts under the number of security services - also here in Tulamben. On our normally quiet north-east coast we can see police and fishermen patrols with binoculars watching the sea carefully to avoid unwelcome intruders.

Our youngest dive student…
A few days ago young Tyler celebrated his tenth birthday, and just one day later he started with the junior open water diver course. For sure this is no coincidence that a 10 years old boy wants to learn to dive, since for him to hear only the underwater stories from his father was not enough anymore, he desperately wanted to experience it himself. So it was an honor for us to teach him diving and be rewarded with his shining enthusiastic children eyes. Great job Tyler and having said this we wish you many great dives..

Well, all signs are set for an encounter of the special kind. Up to 3 meters from fin tip to fin tip, one of the strangest shapes of all creatures out there and so rare that a few divers only can say from them selve ever have seen one up close.

Constantly Extended Service
Even if our guest are perfectly happy, we are constantly on the lookout to upgrade our guest experience.
Last bit which fell into place is a brand new sun sail for our dive base, offering constantly some shadow while sun worshipers are still able to catch the one or the other sun ray.
Construction + arrangement of the canopy allows the sun at one time each day to cover every part of the dive base, thus allowing a complete dry up everywhere to avoid constand wet and slippery areas.
So far we had the most positive feedback. Looks like we've done one more thing right for your welfare.

Did you know? Blue Ribbon Eel (Rhinomuraena quaesita)
It is pretty weird, male Blue Ribbon Eel change gender on demand, that is if there are not enough female eels around. In the process they even change color, from blue-yellow to black-yellow, sometimes even yellow-green. This transformation makes this up to 1,2m long and astonishingly slim species pretty unique within the Murray genus.
Besides, juvenile Blue Ribbon Eels are completely black, hence in former days they were classified as a separate species.

Daily Offerings
If you've ever been to Bali, you might have wondered about the small offerings distributed 3 times a day on many different locations throughout Bali - ranging from temples over everybody houses to ordinary streets and walkways.
The Balinese Hindu basically believe in good and bad ghosts and demons. And now those offerings are supposed to please the bad folks under all the spiritual beings, to keep them at bay and make sure they won't do any harm.
Pretty pragmatic, isn't it? But on the other hand - seeing Bali prospering - it also seems to work.
You want to know more about Balinese traditions? Then here in Tauch Terminal Tulamben is the place to experience Bali first hand.

Hari Raya - Nyepi
On Nyepi day itself, every street is quiet - there are nobody doing their normal daily activities.
No traffic is allowed, not only cars but also people, who have to stay in their own houses. Light is kept to a minimum or not at all, the radio or TV is turned down and, of course, no one works. Even love making, this ultimate activity of all leisure times, is not supposed to take place, nor even attempted.
From the religious and philosophy point of view, Nyepi is meant to be a day of self introspection to decide on values, eg humanity, love, patience, kindness, etc., that should kept forever. Balinese Hindus have many kind of celebrations (some sacred days) but Nyepi is, perhaps the most important of the island's religious days.

Did You Know Already?
It again and again happens that guest here in Tauch Terminal Tulamben come to me, emotions ranging from slightly agitated to completely shaken, asking me about the swastika symbols being found everywhere on the island. Since first association always leads to the Third Reich.I can understand the distress, but to relieve all of you who might not be aware of it: the swastika is and old, acient, even maybe the most important symbol in Hinduism. It represent the two forms of the creator god Brahma, evolution and involution of the universe. Furthermore the swastika is one of the 108 symbols of Hindu deity Vishnu and represents the suns rays on which life depends. It is also seen as pointing in all four directions (north, east, south, west) and thus signifies grounded stability.
Knowing about this fact and keeping it in mind guarantees your stay here to be what it was meant for: enjoyable, relaxed and far from all negative effects.

A couple of days ago i stumbled together with some of our guest in Tauch Terminal Tulamben in Coral Garden over a seldom observed, weird creature: the Devilfish. Also know as Demon Stinger, the Devilfish is closely related to the Stonefish and therefore also venomous. They grow up to some 25cm body length, is surfaced with spines and got a generally knobby appearance. Mainly nocturnal creatures, most of the time they bury themselves in the sand on the day.
Hard to find, pretty scarce, a "beautiful" motiv - what else a divers hard longs fore!
Curious to get first hand impressions of our marine life right in from of Tauch Terminal Tulamben? It would be our pleasure.

Did You Know: Humphead Parrotfish
Bolbometopon muricatum grows up to almost 1,5m in size and more than 45kg in weight. It is found from the Indian to the Pacific Ocean, from the Red Sea in the west to Samoa in the east, and from theYaeyama Islands in the north to the Great Barrier Reef in the south.
Their feeding activity is important for the production and distribution of coral sands in the reef biome and can prevent algae from choking coral.
But most of all for us divers they are pretty impressive, even more so when you are suddenly in the midst of a school up to 30 animal here in Tulamben. Setting up camp every night on the wreck of U.S.A.T. Liberty the best time to encounter this peaceful fellows is early morning when they slowly start into the day by leaving Tulamben bay, respectively afternoon when they eventually move back in.
You're ready for a closeup with them? We here in Tauch Terminal Tulamben are happy to get you there. |

Underwater Flag Rising With Handicapped
With respect to Indonesians independence day on August 17th, this year a conglomerate of different organizations and private people decided to do something very special: enable a group of handicapped Indonesians to get an Open Water Diver certificate, and then, as a kind of special treatment and acknowledgment, to attend an underwater flag rising on Indonesians independence day.
We from Tauch Terminal Tulamben were very happy to be able to provide support in terms of dive gear, logistics, a nice lunch in our resort plus some TTT guest which voluntarily joined and helped this group with their activities.
A great day and an even greater experience, we're proud to have been part of this event.

Reef Check!
Last week we had a couple of people here in Tauch Terminal Tulamben from Reef Check Indonesia Foundation. At the moment they're doing a survey around bali to check on the corals, compare the general development respectively trying to get an idea regarding possible threat increase.
Done with the initial questioning about coral health in Tulamben and outfitted with TTT equipment and logistical assistance they set off to Coral garden and Batu Kelepit to do their assessment on the spot. Also some of our guest were interviewed which helps to also learn about the point of view on such things of a tourist.
The first feedback about Tulamben area was quite positive, now we'll see the outcome once they gathered all necessary information and did the complete evaluation.
It's in all our hands to help protect the ocean, taking care the environment on a dive or supporting organizations like Reef Check.
We care a lot! |

Coleman Shrimp & Harlequin Shrimp
At one dive site? Both of them?! well, actually u still gotta be lucky, but at one of our boat dive site - Scuba Seraya or also sometimes called Seraya Secret - you have a pretty fair chance to stumble over both species in one dive. plus there's plenty more stuff like nudibranches, crabs, weird lion fishes and more.
Best thing is you talk to our TTT guides, they'll let you know what is around at the moment and are happy to find those things for you.
Maybe you soon coming back from a dive there with abig smile? We would like that!

TTT going international
Over the last years more and more international - not german speaking for us - guest stay with us in Tauch Terminal Tulamben.
All over Europe, a wide variety of Asians, Americans even if mainly north Americans, and something like one time a year some South African.
Just recently we had a premier: Madagascar! Mr. Elyse Kohyann honored us with his stay.
Thinking about Madagascar most people might think about crazy penguins, a lion and a zebra ... but no, we switched sites this time and almost endlessly fired questions about his home at him. You never know when one might stumble across another Madagascan's(?) again. So thanks again to Mr. Elyse, and be assured that from now on you are on the top of our list of the most rare nationalities here in Tauch Terminal Tulamben. |

Annual Water Analysis
Earlier or later most of our guest might become aware of the fact that we got our own well here in Tauch Terminal Tulamben. and that all the water used in the resort - garden, pool, dive base, kitchen, bar and rooms - is supplied from even this source. And now we do an water analysis with Sanglah Laboratorium Klinik every year, to make sure water quality still and again fits our standards.
We're happy again to announce an excellent water quality for our resort: water samples were taken from the ground tank directly supplied from the well, from a bath room with the longest pipe connection to the ground tank and from kitchen out of one of our water filters. Not a single limit overstepped, best water quality assured again. |

Did you know?
There are more than 375 species of Cephalopods around the world.Including Cuttlefishes,Squids and Octopus. Squids do not live a very long life, which is why females release enormous amounts of eggs to ensure the continuation of their species.
A mating session takes just 15 seconds. While most squid lay their eggs in masses on the sea bed, some carry a clutch of eggs to guard them.
The adult squid does not live long after mating.
Baby squid hatch as larvae and grow into maturity in about 3-5 years.
The new born Baby squids are just 2 cm long and ready to swim.

IBSN Udayana University of Bali
Student divers, in the pure sense of the word.
Like every year there's a bunch of European - mainly German - students, spending one semester at Udayana University Denpasar; Young folks who so far had almost no change to experience a tropical ocean, not to mention the experience to dive in one. And so - also like every year - we invited them to Tauch Terminal Tulamben for one day, gave them some practical, study related information about our resort and let every single one of them spend some time submerged to say hello to all the fishes they know from "finding nemo".
And if you ask me, there's no way of me ever getting tired of big eyes and amazed expressions with newbies in general, but even more so when you got a whole bunch of them around. |

Rare Visitor in Tulamben
Last week one of our customers - Mr. Satoshi Ito - got lucky stumbling over one of them almost in front of our resort. Congratulations, quite an impressive little fellow this Cackadoo Waspfish.
But then again, it's not only luck helping you finding eye catchers like this, it also needs passion and a high level of attention to not just pass our little friends unnoticed. Mr. Satoshi though is one of this rare breed mentioned - there are not many divers around willing to wait 50+ minutes in front of an frogfish only to take a shot with jaws apart. So thanks again to Mr. Satoshi for this beautiful picture and for the knowledge that Cackadoo's also visit us in Tauch Terminal Tulamben from time to time. |

DIVE SAFE
Imagine there is some diving related medical issue. And also imagine the dive shop you consigned your wellbeing to tells you to go somewhere else. Unthinkable? Unfortunately not.
It happens again and again - just a few days ago - that customers are being send to Tauch Terminal Tulamben to seek medical help and advice. That divers are send to us for emergency oxygen and coordination and transport to professional medical help.
Is it a gamble to go diving nowadays? Surely not. Depend on your common sense, which means in the first place to pick your dive shop according to your personal prefs, but also with respect to a minimum level of authority in emergency situations. Always. And everywhere.
We at Tauch Terminal Tulamben are able to professionally and quickly respond to all kinds of diving accidents, as well as a wide range of common medical issues. Beware of any problem but be prepared, just in case ... and for all our sake.The underwater world and help preserving it. |

History Meets Tauch Terminal Resort Tulamben!
Jacques-Yves Cousteau rings a bell? Of cours it does, the great marine explorer and ecologist.
And now another name: Pierre Morel. One of our guest last week. A born Frenchman as well, living in Toronto by now and just up to some snorkeling here in Tulamben. Until he went in the water for the first time. Shortly later we had him politely asking if it would be possible to get a divers certification. And then it all blurted out: how he was a diver already until 15 years ago, that he gave up on diving due to water temperatures in Kanada. And how he originally learned diving with a family member of late "le Commandant Cousteau". That he's even been on the Calypso, the famous vessel used for Cousteau's adventures.
And that was the point when we started probing, wanting to hear story's about the diving then, making underwater movies back in that time and of course the great man himself.
Needless to say that this course was a peace of cake ... so let's welcome Mr. Morel back in our midst and let us all remember the spirit of Jacques Cousteau and his crew: enjoy the underwater world and help preserving it. |

With a capacity of 80kw we now have the posibility to run all resorts machiney and light even in the event of a electricity shut down for hours on end. Positioning in the front of the resort, shilded by the lobby, makes the noise distress almost non existent. And a pretty elaborated exhaust system prevents any fumes disturbing the peace of the place. By no there will be no annoyance anymore due to blackouts - everything for the welfare of our guest! |

A Neverending Tale of The Tulamben Shipwreck
Lately diving has been really amazing in Tulamben.
Beside the well known “Liberty Wreck” beauty there is always a tiny difference between a good diving day to a memorable diving day. We had the chance to enjoy the intriguing dance of the “Wonderpus” Octopus. One of the most weird underwater critters you can see. Check our news periodically to be updated with the last underwater encounters.

From Kazakhstan with Love
Last week we proudly welcomed Mr. Jamil and Mr. Arman - Our first guest ever from the former soviet republic of Kazakhstan. They really kept them self quite busy during their stay with Advance Open Water Course, EFR and Rescue Course and hell of a lot of diving as well. Which is pretty much understandable if one recalls the geographic locations of Kazakhstan where almost no diving at all is possible. |

the time of their life.
Hoping she can join them very soon. |

Mr. Fritz Kurr, a German native, arrived alone to Tauch Terminal Resort in Tulamben, with a dream to make true – get back in the water on his diving gear. – I am 86 years old, and these will probably be my last dives as I am old enough to stop diving... We took care of him and his old film video camera for 2 days and chatted about the war times in between dives. What an inspiring man! We wish you great health and many more beautiful trips in your life! |

This year on March, Balinese Most Holy Celebrations
The Galungan festival, Bali's major feast, is held throughout the island and is an annual event in the wuku year. During this ten day period all the gods, including the supreme deity Sanghyang Widi, come down to earth for the festivities. Barongs prance from temple to temple and village to village. The last and most important day of the ten day festival is called Kuningan.
Hindu saka calendar is a lunar cycle that more closely follows our own year in terms of the length of the year. Nyepi is a major festival of the saka year, it's the last day of the year, the day of total silence throughout the island. No activity, no traffic at all on the roads, no fire may be lit for 24 hours. Great purification and sacrificial rites are held the day before so as to exorcize evil spirits from every corner of the island.
Galungan Festival, March 18th 2009,
Nyepi Day of Silence, March 26th 2009
