Bali under water tour
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. With a stream that is not too heavy, this
area is perfect for diving activities. The beauty of coral reefs and other marine
life in this place is one of the best in Bali, even in Indonesia.
