Diving at Sidem & Batu Belah (Macro Point) (Tulamben)

Sidem is located in Batu Belah, between Amed and Tulamben. It's the macro dive spot for those in the know, so it's never crowded. The sandy slope is curved, following the bay's shape. Best species encountered include spiny seahorses, warty frogfish, peacock mantis shrimps, porcelain crabs and, among nudibranchs, Miamira sinuata and Halgerda willeyi. Batu Belah (10–30m): rocky reef with soft corals, ribbon eels and occasional reef sharks. Both sites are excellent for night diving.
