USS Liberty Shipwreck

      USAT Liberty ship wreck, this is known as one of the easiest wrecks to dive in the world. is located in tulamben, Karangasem Regency, Bali. USAT Liberty with a length of 120 meters, was built in 1918 as an American warship type cargo ship. This ship served for the United States military in Asia in the second world war.

        In January 1942, she was on route from Australia to the Philippines with a cargo of railway parts and rubber. On 11 January, Liberty was torpedoed by Japanese submarine I-166 about 10 nautical miles (19 km) southwest of the Lombok Strait, near position 08°54′S 115°28′E. US destroyer Paul Jones and Dutch destroyer Van Ghent took the damaged ship in tow attempting to reach Celukan bawang harbour at Singaraja, the Dutch port and administrative centre for the Lesser Sunda Islands, on the north coast of Bali. However she was taking too much water and so was beached on the eastern shore of Bali at Tulamben so that the cargo and fittings could be salvaged. And in the end this ship became a very popular diving attraction in Tulamben area.

      With only about 30 meters from the beach, this wreck is very easy to find. The shallowest part of the wreck is at only 3 meters, allowing even snorkelers to get a glimpse.Surgeonfish greet you on your entry, and groups of bumphead parrotfish are often spotted, as is great barracuda and many beautiful and colorful nudibranchs.
