USAT LIBERTY WRECK TULAMBEN - BALI
One of the tourist attractions in eastern Bali which is very famous for the beauty of the underwater scenery is Tulamben Bali. Because of the beauty of the underwater scenery, Tulamben is the best destination for snorkeling and scuba diving on the island of Bali. If you depart from the tourist area of Kuta Bali, to reach the village of Tulamben Karangasem, you will cover a distance of 102 kilometers, with an estimated travel time of 3 hours. For those of you who like diving or snorkeling activities (swimming above sea level) then the name Tulamben Village will be familiar to you. Tulamben Village as one of the tourist spots in Bali, has its own uniqueness for water recreation on the island of Bali. The uniqueness of Tulamben village is found in the USAT (US Army Transport) Liberty ship which sank in 1942. The USAT Liberty ship was sunk because it was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine in World War II. The wreck of the USAT Liberty is at a depth of 30 meters above sea level and is the best diving spot in Tulamben village. From the coast, the distance of the wreck of the USAT Liberty is about 25 meters and usually divers will use a boat from the coast to the location of the wreck. Because the wreck has been in the sea for a long time, making all the hull rusty. In the area of the USAT Liberty ship, divers have even met Mola Mola Fish, Hammerhead Sharks, and Whale Sharks. The diversity of other marine life such as coral reefs, ornamental fish, plankton, seaweed and other marine life makes the location of the USAT Liberty shipwreck in Tulamben Village one of the best dive sites in Bali. Diving and seeing the wreck of the Liberty in Tulamben is a must if you like diving and are on vacation in Bali. If you are a beginner diver, you can dive at a depth of 20 meters. But if you are a diver who has a lot of experience then you can dive to a depth of 30-35 meters. At a depth of 30 meters, you will be able to clearly see the wreck of the USAT Liberty. In addition to shipwrecks, you will also be able to see Kuwe gerong/Belitong fish and barracudas roaming the USAT Liberty shipwreck area. The best time to dive at the USAT Liberty shipwreck is around October and November. Most Indonesian tourists who want to do diving activities in Tulamben, will buy the Tulamben Bali Wreck Diving diving package for 1 day.
