Diving USAT Liberty

The wreck of the USAT has a long story. This US Navy cargo ship has been torpedoed near Lombok in 1941 by the Japanese but was brought to Tulamben where it ran aground. In 1963 the eruption of the Agung volcano pushed the ship in the water. It was a blessing or the divers .This artificial reef is at about 50 meters from the shore. We can access it without  a boat, just by walking in. It lays between 6 to 30 meters deep which allows divers of any level to enjoy it. The metal cluster offers us 120 meters of coral settlement and a large number of fish who use this beautiful site as home.

Some turtles and pygmy seahorses Bargibanti can also be seen on the wreck as well as leaf and ghost pipefish. Great night dive where we can admire lots of shrimps, crabs and Spanish dancers.
