USS Liberty Wreck (USAT Liberty)

Liberty′s wreck rests about 40 metres (130 ft) from the beach in Tulamben, Bali, Indonesia. The highest point of the wreck is the stern at a depth of about 5 metres (16 ft) and the lowest point sits at about 30 metres (100 ft).

Life is everywhere on the wreck! You will see Humphead Parrot fish, schools of Trevally, Leaf Scorpion fish, Pygmy Seahorse, giant Barracuda, Frogfish, Groupers, Jack fish, Angel fish, Black Tip and White Tip sharks. If you are very lucky you may even encounter a Whale Shark, an Eagle ray or even a Mola Mola!

In 1963 the tremors associated with the eruption of Mount Agung caused the vessel to slip off the beach, and she now lies on a sand slope in 25 to 100 feet (7.6 to 30.5 m) of water, providing one of the most popular dive sites off Bali.
