Wreck
Day or Night Dive the Shipwreck!
Here lies a 120 meter (400 foot) US Army commissioned transport
vessel, the U.S.A.T Liberty, which was torpedoed during WW II by
the Japanese submarine I-166, while taking supplies of rubber and
railway parts from Australia to the Philippines.
Listed as one of the best wreck dives in the world, amazingly enough
the hull is relatively intact and has formed a beautiful artificial
reef providing a home to thousands of marine animals, plant life,
hard and soft coral. This dive site starts at a depth of 5 meters
(15 feet) and reaches a depth of 28 meters (93 feet), with visibility
ranging from 25-50 meters (75 - 200 feet). This makes the wreck
ideal for the beginner and the more experienced alike.
The bay at Tulamben is home to schools of jack fish while the wall
at the end of the bay plummets from the surface to 60 meters (200
feet) and is covered with soft coral trees, gorgonian fans and giant
barrel sponges. Other willing subjects to be inspected or photographed
by divers include ghost pipe fish, angler fish, sea horses, long
nosed hawk fish and incalculable species of nudibranches, cowries
and many other rare crustaceans.White tipped reef sharks can also
be found further around the wall for the more adventurous diver.
The water in the bay is mostly calm, and is suitable for both beginner
and experienced divers.
