About this tour
Explore two dive sites off Tulamben's coast, including the USAT Liberty, a warship resting on the seafloor since World War II. This 4-hour private dive takes you down to encounter the wreck's structure and the coral gardens thriving around it. A local certified instructor guides you through both descents, with gear, lunch and all logistics included. Suitable for beginners with an open-water certification or those already experienced underwater.

What to expect
Your instructor will brief you thoroughly on both dive sites before entering the water. The first dive takes you to the Liberty wreck, where you'll navigate around the vessel's hull and superstructure now transformed into an artificial reef. Marine life congregates throughout the structure. The second dive typically explores a coral-rich section nearby, allowing you to compare ecosystems. Between dives you'll surface, rest, and refuel with fried rice or noodles. Expect moderate currents and depths suitable for recreational diving certifications.

Physical fitness requirement is moderate; avoid this dive if you have spinal injuries, cardiovascular concerns, asthma or epilepsy. Pregnant travellers should not participate. Round-trip transport from Tulamben is optional; insurance and entrance fees are included.
