Tulamben - WWII Liberty Wreck

The rocky volcanic beach at Tulamben, northeast Bali, more for scuba divers than sunbathers	In 1942, the Amerian ship USAT Liberty was torpedod by the Japanese off Lombok	The crippled ship was beached at Tulamben, Bali, where it was unloaded	During the 1963 eruption of Gunung Agung, the beached wreck was pushed back into the sea
The Liberty wreck sits just off shore in 6 to 37m of water	The wreck of the USAT Liberty is now the best dive site around Bali	You can dive the Liberty with a local operator or as part of a day trip from south Bali	Tauch Terminal Resort, Tulamben, Bali, is a good choice
