USS Liberty Shipwreck

Recognized as one of the most easy-to-access shipwrecks in the world, the USS Liberty is located just 25-meters from shore and anywhere from five and 30 meters below sea level. It’s the ideal destination for first-time divers but holds enough interest for veteran underwater adventurers, too.

Visitors can swim through Bali’s calm warm waters and arrive at the dive site directly from shore.  A vast array of marine life, military cargo ruins and haunting ocean scenery make it the perfect underwater photo safari, and the 120-meter ship offers plenty to explore. Divers can expect about 66 feet of visibility almost any time of year.  

Practical Info

The wreck is located near the small fishing village of Tulamben on the northeast coast of Bali. Travelers looking for a truly unique experience should check out the popular night dives. Humpback parrotfish gather at the ship and divers can use their underwater torches to track these giant swimmers.
