USAT Liberty Wreck, World War II shipwreck in Tulamben, Indonesia

The USAT Liberty wreck extends 120 meters along the seabed, creating an underwater structure covered with hard and soft corals at depths between 5 and 30 meters.

The USAT Liberty, a United States Army cargo vessel, sank in 1942 after being struck by Japanese submarine torpedoes during World War II near the coast of Bali.

Local Balinese communities maintain traditional ceremonies near the wreck site, connecting maritime history with regional spiritual practices through regular offerings and rituals.

Numerous dive centers in Tulamben provide guided tours, equipment rentals, and transportation services for visitors wanting to explore the underwater site throughout the year.

Mount Agung's volcanic activity in 1963 shifted the ship from its beach position to its current underwater location, transforming it into a marine ecosystem.
