About this site

Usat Liberty Wreck is a Second World War ship lying on her side about 30 metres off the coast at Tulamben in Bali, and it can be reached from the shore. The wreck is 125 metres long and 17 metres wide, with its shallowest point at about 5 metres and its deepest at about 30 metres.

The ship slid underwater in 1963 after lying on the beach since the war, and she has become a large artificial reef covered in anemones and hard and soft corals. The cargo hold is open enough to penetrate, which gives the feeling of being inside a shipwreck. Frogfish, leaf scorpionfish, pygmy seahorses and mimic octopuses live on the wreck.

Eagle rays and a whale shark are sometimes spotted out in the blue. Night and sunrise dives offer the chance to see the large family of humphead parrotfish that spend the night on the wreck. The water is usually clear and most of the time there is no current.
