Tulamben Dive Sites
The USAT Liberty, a cargo ship with an illustrious service history in both World Wars, met its fate at the hands of a Japanese torpedo. It now resides on the black volcanic sands of Tulamben, transformed into an incredible artificial reef teeming with life. The ship's hulk, stretching over 120 meters, lies in waters ranging from just 3 to 30 meters deep, providing accessible exploration for snorkelers and divers of all skill levels.
Beyond the wreck, Tulamben's Coral Garden is a gentler site where divers can drift along a kaleidoscopic bed of anemones, gorgonians, and coral formations. This underwater sanctuary is a shallow site, making it perfect for beginners and snorkelers.
For those seeking a bit more thrill, The Drop Off offers an opportunity to encounter larger marine life amidst fascinating topography. Suspended in the blue abyss, divers can catch glimpses of schools of trevally and barracuda, as well as elusive reef sharks.
