Tulamben’s diving revolves around one of the world’s most accessible wreck sites - the USS Liberty (USAT Liberty). Lying just meters from the black pebble shoreline, this wreck provides a genuine opportunity to explore history and witness the power of nature to create a vibrant, thriving ecosystem. But look beyond the wreck itself and you’ll find an array of incredible experiences from sandy slopes and sheer walls, to massive Napoleon fish and schooling bumphead parrotfish.
