About this tour
Explore the USAT Liberty, a World War II cargo ship resting 40 metres offshore in Tulamben, Bali. This 11-hour outing suits certified divers of all levels. The wreck's upper sections sit in just 5 metres of water, descending to around 30 metres, allowing you to navigate at your comfort. Shallow entry from the beach, calm seas and reliable visibility make this one of the most diver-friendly shipwrecks in the world. The hull is blanketed in thriving corals, sea fans and barrel sponges that have claimed the vessel as their own.

What to expect
You'll start at the dive centre with a welcome drink, then head to Tulamben beach for a straightforward shore entry. The Liberty sits upright in remarkably shallow water—you can explore the upper decks without descending far, or push deeper if you're comfortable. Corals and sponges coat the metalwork, and you'll spot reef fish moving through corridors and across the superstructure. Visibility is typically good and conditions calm. Lunch and a debrief follow your dives. The whole day runs about 11 hours from collection to drop-off.
