USS Liberty Shipwreck Scuba Dive at Tulamben

Scuba diving experience for 2 pax was incredible. Despite being beginners, the area was easy to navigate and the instructor (we had Ari) was able to guide us through exploring the shipwreck area, which was stunning and full of fish of all colors. Definitely a highlight of our trip to Bali! Shoutout to Wayan as well, who drove us (3 hours one-way) back and forth to our accomodation.

The guide was extremely polite and professional. He helped us non swimmers to undertake the activity with confidence.

The pickup service came from far away and the training was easy to understand, so it went smoothly. I was scared at first, but I gradually started to enjoy it. There was an additional fee for filming, but it was worth it.

The driver instructors are very nice! The instructor is very good at teaching, no problem for beginners. The underwater world is super beautiful and definitely worth visiting. It costs 650k IDR to rent a camera to take pictures. Personally, I think it is super worth it. The photos will be transferred directly to your mobile phone using a transmission line, which is very fast! The food is okay, but it’s not the point after all.

The water temperature at this dive site is not too cold, so you can just walk down. However, as a beginner, I feel that the instructor is not very professional. I have a cold so it is difficult to balance the ear pressure. In addition, it is easy to dive for the first time. I missed things to pay attention to. The instructor didn't pay too much attention. He mainly focused on taking pictures of interesting things for you, so he didn't have much time to pay attention to education. It's a pity that it's such a long drive. It's actually a great diving spot. If you can It would be perfect if I stayed longer or met a better coach.

To be honest, at first I felt that the coach seemed unprofessional, because we had to wait for shoes and masks after we went, but after entering the water, he explained carefully and the whole process went smoothly. The driver's driving skills are the best I have ever seen. recommend

It takes three hours one way from Ubud to Tulamben. During snorkeling, the instructor took us to see the sunken ship. There will be people taking photos in the area, so remember to bargain.

This time I chose to live in Ubud, because it is closer to the center, and I feel that the transportation is more convenient. The coach will pick us up at the hotel at 8am, and we will arrive at 10am without traffic jams. Then the coach will arrange a place for you to sit low, and he will give an explanation. The first dive will swim around the boat quickly, and the second dive will enter the boat. Of course, it is an open position, and there will be no danger. Before falling into the water, I decided to add 500K idr to buy a camera. The coach will help with the video synchronization, so it is worth buying. The people in the restaurant will ask you to order food before you fall into the water, and the food will be delivered as soon as you get into the water. After eating, shake, shake, and fall into the water again, 35 minutes each time, so fast. It takes 2 and a half minutes to arrive first in the traffic jam on the return trip, and it is recommended to have a motion sickness pill.

our instructor was very experienced, he will explain everything needed to know and also guide you and help you underwater. for first timers, it is doable but take it slow. the shipwreck was interesting to see and it was a fun experience once you get pass all the diving related difficulties! photos are separately charged.

it was a great trip. i learnt how to do scuba diving, the teacher is very supportive and friendly. i love it and will do again. it takes 3 hrs to come the tulamben beach, quite far. food is so so, i suggest doing it with CD photos package.
