Tulamben Shipwreck diving destination

USAT Liberty Shipwreck

The USAT Liberty Shipwreck in Tulamben, Bali, is one of the most famous and easily accessible dive sites in the world.

Originally a U.S. Army cargo ship torpedoed during World War II, the wreck now rests just off the shore, slowly transformed into a vibrant underwater reef. Covered in coral and home to hundreds of marine species, it offers a unique diving experience for beginners and experienced divers alike.

For our day trips, we focus on the Tulamben Shipwreck, as this wreck can be fully explored in 2 dives, giving you enough time to enjoy every part of the site.

If you have already dived the Shipwreck several times and would like to try other Tulamben dive sites such as Coral Garden, Drop Off, Alamanda, Batu Kelebit, or Monkey Reef, this can also be arranged.

Please contact us to check the availability of these alternative sites.
