Tulamben Diving Uss Liberty Shipwreck Scuba Dive

With Putu it was great first diving experience 2 dives each has unique with underwater creatures never seen before.

Long day. From Nusa Dua you will be in the van for over 7 hours for only two 30 minute dives. Beach entry. Bring cash for additional purchases, shirts, photography, tips, etc. The wreck is two fun dives. Excellent staff, dive guide.

Not a confident swimmer but thoroughly enjoyed scuba diving with an experienced instructor. Wish I could have explored more!

It was an amazing experience, adventurous, exciting and full of fun. Our pick up and drop service was done by Kojek. He is an excellent person, jolly and welcoming by nature. Our trainer managed the course efficiently, guided us thoroughly and quickly handled the situation when in panic. Overall it was a fabulous experience ✌✌🤘.

I had very good trip. Especially my driver yudi Bali was a super great. Was on time and helped me on everything

Worked very well. Pick up from the hotel, drive, food, and all other things worked by the clock. Super

The most memorable part of this whole trip was my driver, Mr. Kojek. He was extremely polite and friendly, drove very smoothly, and even asked whether I would like some music. I had a really great experience with his service.

What an amazing experience our driver Udia was our assigned driver for the day. Our instructor Lee was amazing too. He took me and my wife out and it was our first time diving. He explained how to dive and made us feel very comfortable and safe. This experience is a must when you come to Bali! This team is the best!

I had an incredible day diving the USS Liberty wreck with two 45-minute dives, and it was definitely one of the highlights of my Bali trip. A huge thank you to Katut, who was an outstanding dive guide. His knowledge of the wreck was exceptional, and I felt safe and well looked after throughout both dives. He also took fantastic underwater photos and videos that perfectly captured the experience and gave me some amazing memories to take home. An equally big thank you to Kojek, who drove the 2.5 hours each way from my accommodation in Ubud. He was friendly, punctual, and made the long journey comfortable and stress-free. Everything was well organised from start to finish, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend this team to anyone wanting to dive the USS Liberty!

The dive is fun and we had so much fun in the water our guide diver is nice. Our driver Rio is really nice. We really enjoy our whole trip with him. And when going back to our hotel in ubud he recommend us to stop at the luwak coffee plantation. The whole trip is so good we had so much fun 😆🙂

Scuba was very fun and as a beginner the divers were very patient and helpful. I was able to go 10m and my husband 20m, despite the high tides. Lunch was delicious and the atmosphere was very welcoming like being with family and friends. The long drive from Ubud was made better by our funny and informative driver Mr. John. He kept us laughing and well fed with his willingness to stop and let us rest our eat on the way there and back. If you book ask for Mr. John

Was a great experience. Pick up with Udia was super convenient and USS Liberty was amazing.

I visited with my family. It was truly an amazing experience. The diving instructors are extremely calm, capable and ensure you are always having fun. The staff were very friendly and enthusiastic. Good food at the end as well.

We recommend with love diving with Ketut and the team of divers♥️ ! Even if I was soooo scared because I am scared of water and deep water, but Ketut was so patient with me and held me, helped me not to panick anymore. He really is the best diver in Bali, with experience and lots of patience for scared beginners like me. I had such a beautiful experience, my husband even more as he managed to go all the way to the shipwreck! If you are looking for the best diver in Bali, Ketut is the best! Also his team🥰

We have been diving in Tulamben, Bali since 2018 using the services of the best Macro Spotter on the island, Wayan Jhon Bali, also known as Wayan Jhon Dive Guide. Jhon has been guiding divers for 13 years and is an expert Macro Spotter and Underwater Photographer in his own right. Jhon is a native of Tulamben and knows the dive sites intimately. He is a free lance dive guide and is able to book dives with you during your stay at three of the dive resorts in Tulamben. You can find him on FB and Instagram. He can also help you with some local transport around Tulamben as well as recommend good eateries and information about local traditions and sights. Contact Jhon directly for details and pricing.

Really nice people and good diving too:)

We had a great experience. We had a great dive instructor who helped us take photos with our gopro. It was a memorable experience divinng the ruins. Very cool!

I wish I had remembered our diving instructor's name so I could recommend him but my husband and I did this dive on 05/03/26. The diver was so knowledgeable and made is feel welcome and safe at all times. We couldn't believe how he held onto us the entire time that we dove (first session was 25 minutes, the second session was 45 minutes). He was the best diver I have ever met, having an experience of 35 years. He also took incredible photos and videos. I would recommend him to anybody who wants to dive but are scared. Our driver Yudi also was amazing. He drove us for about 8 hours the entire day and was still energetic! We made sure to get his phone number so we can recommend him to any friends we have who want to go to Bali. I sincerely hope this establishment keeps Yudi the driver and the diver with the 35 years of experience who speaks English and Chinese. They were the perfect team and was the best part of our trip to Bali!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an excellent experience with our driver Wira Bigus during our trip to the USS Liberty dive site in Tulamben. He was very funny, kind, and extremely talkative in the best way — he spent the drive explaining Balinese culture and sharing interesting stories that made the journey really enjoyable. He went above and beyond to make the trip great for us. At our request he even stopped the car and took us to a great local place to try durian, which was a fun and memorable experience. Overall he was friendly, professional, and made the whole day much more entertaining. We highly recommend Wira to anyone visiting Bali who wants a driver who is knowledgeable, welcoming, and genuinely fun to travel with.

We were collected promptly at 8am by our driver Nang Udia who was flexible with the pick up point. He drove us for 2,5hrs to Tulamben in a comfortable clean vehicle. Our dive guide Ketut totally put whatever angst I’d had to rest in my mind as he was so easy going and enthusiastic. He has a lot of dive experience and I trusted him 100%. They got us kitted out with everything we needed and provided ample bottled water. The dives were great. Lunch after was basic but really tasty and we fell on it and demolished it all. Then Nang drove us back to Ubud while we snoozed and relaxed in the car! A really excellent good value day!!

I went with them a long time ago, and I still remember how good my experience was. I really enjoyed the experience.

We had an amazing scuba diving experience in Tulamben that we’ll remember for a long time. The dive itself was very well organized, calm, and perfect even for people who are not strong swimmers. The underwater visibility was good, the marine life was beautiful, and the instructors made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the experience. What truly made this day extra special was our driver and host Kojek. He is hands down the best driver you could ask for in Bali — polite, patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. On the way, he thoughtfully stopped at a local coffee plantation, where we got to try different coffee and tea testers and learn about the process. It was such a lovely and unexpected experience. And the highlight? Since it was Teddy Day, Kojek went out of his way to stop midway and buy a teddy bear for my wife 🧸❤️ — a gesture that completely melted our hearts. This is the kind of personal touch that you don’t forget. From safe driving to great conversations and thoughtful surprises, Kojek made our trip incredibly special. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Tulamben or Bali — both the scuba experience and especially Kojek as your driver. You’ll be in the best hands.

Great experience! Great driver (bawa) and super helpful and friendly dive guide (katut), loved the experience

It was a great trip! Our driver bawa was really friendly and great, would recommend him, he drove us from ubud to tulamben (3hrs drive) The dive was great, the dive guide (katut) was really helpful and we loved the experience fully!

Last minute decision and it was so worth it!! Bawa picked me up from my hotel and arrived early and was very pleasant on a long drive.

Driver Wira(hope I remember correctly) was absolutely amazing. He drives like a beast haha. The drive was bit long ( 3 hours) but absolutely worth it! Love the shipwreck and the amazing coral/ sea life. Very beautiful moments ! Absolutely recommend. They include transfer from our hotels very convenient

Great Experience Diving with Dive Master Edy Karma at Tulamben Diving USS Liberty Shipwreck amazing spot Diving in Bali

What a breath taking experience!! Worth the long drive to this!! The dive team were great. We pay for a dive instructor as we were beginners and it was worth the extra. My dive instructor was very helpful and patient with me and made sure I was comfortable and ready to go further down. He showed me everything there was to see and stayed with me the whole time as he knew I was nervous. But was amazing and would book this again!

I am so thankful I took the plunge and did this 10-hour round-trip from Sanur to do the USAT Liberty wreck dive. Trust me; it is WELL worth the long drive. It all started with my fantastic driver Tole - who was a delight and handled the traffic and road conditions efficiently. I did 2 dives with Wayan Dive Tulamben and I couldn’t be happier with them. It ended up being 1-on-1 dives with the dive master/owner Wayan who was so chilled and attentive. We say turtles, octopi, barracuda, HUGE puffers and groupers. The wreck is off the shore, so no boats required. Such a bonus! It is a dynamic wreck with lots of caves and holes to swim through. And the home-cooked mie goreng for for lunch was so tasty. Would go again in a heartbeat!

Overall, it was quite fun, the diving was cool and we got to see the shipwreck. The equipment was good and the lunch was actually really good, I liked the mie goreng a lot. Now onto the negatives, the facilities are quite old, and the people there are some crazy smokers, I’m talking multiple in a short time frame...We paid for the underwater camera as well but it was pretty disappointing as there is a white spot in the centre of all the photos…we also paid 500k for it despite them telling us it was 250k originally…(unfair as one out of 3 of us didn’t even take any photos and there w the only photos for 1 of the 2 dives as they LOST the original camera) the coral area is quite murky and the corals are pretty damaged, but the shipwreck is very cool. Our guide/instructor is was very helpful although he didn’t speak English that well, making communication a bit confusing.

The diving tour is very unique for us . It brings a lot of new exciting experiences to us through going around USS liberty. The guide provides photos and videos for us using our GoPro. The water is very clear and comfortable by walking into the sea. I really recommend you this tour if you plan to dive in Bali.

Breathtaking underwater views with an easygoing tour of the USS Liberty, and the guide helped take excellent photos and videos during the dives. Very friendly diving guide who provided us with anti fog and drinking water.

They come take us from the hotel, 2h drive ( our driver Ketut Udia) drove really well was super cool. After arriving, the guide explain all the details very clearly and answer all our questions. We start for a first dive and after we saw the uss liberty.

Bawa is the best guide in the city! I truly enjoyed his company and confidently recommend to all. He is flexible and comforting at the same time. He is also willing to take pictures of you. You can contact Bawa at +6281805438329

What an absolute fantastic day the guys at Wayan dive shop were awesome and made it such an amazing experience. Highly recommend this tour you won’t be disappointed.

We had a driver, Yudi Bali, pick us up in Ubud for our trip to Tulamben. He was punctual, patient, and a great guide —pointing out various attractions along the way. Upon arrival, we were introduced to our dive master and given a thorough briefing. He was patient and took the time to explain the procedures to my partner, who had never dived before. He looked after us well during both dives. We had a great day out, would recommend.

I had a great time would recommend my guy to anyone. I actually used his service the whole 8ndays I was there for my day trips. Great guy even better service.

We had a great experience getting to see the Liberty wreck at Tulamben. Our driver Tole was amazing. His English was the best of anyone we’ve met so far in Bali and he told us a lot about his culture and was very welcoming. The sights at Tulamben are stunning and worth the trip up. Our dive instructor was also great. He was very patient with us, very experienced, and took some great pictures. The lunch was a home cooked meal and was delicious. Really, would definitely recommend our driver Tole and the whole experience.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS TOUR IF YOU ARE STAYING IN: Seminyak, Canggu, Nusa Dua, Uluwatu, Ubud, or anywhere that requires more than 1 hour of travel. Don’t get me wrong — the diving itself is excellent, but losing an entire day to travel to and from Tulamben for just 2 dives is not worth it. It takes 3.5 hours to get there and 4 hours to return due to traffic. If you’re already in Tulamben, then this tour is totally worth it! Otherwise, just don’t. To make matters worse, the driver was impatient, and although the instructor was friendly and helped me throughout the dive, his English was poor. He did take great photos and videos, which was the highlight of the experience. In short, the diving is great! But only if you’re planning to stay a few days in Tulamben. Hope this helps.

Putu was an awesome driver and very accommodating! The experience was amazing as I got to see a lot of different animals and the instructor was very patient.

The driver Art was awesome. He picked us up from Seminyak and drove us to the site. Navigating the terrible traffic on the roads. Unfortunately though the diving experience was a real disappointment. The actual wreck dive is amazing and what place but the diving tour was the problem. The dive shop looked like it hadnt been used for a while and the equipment was very old. So much so that there was a leak in my son’s respirator equipment. I was stressed that the quality of air and equipment. We were the only people diving with them despite the beach being full with divers. We finished the first dive and decided that it was too risky to do a second dive. Be aware!

Outstanding - great experience, kind and generous team, beautiful environment, important safety covered.

Beautiful dives! It was fantastic to see so much diversity of fish! The ship wreck was surreal! Our driver picked us up at our hotel and drove us there and back - he was kind and gave a lot of good information along the way. Our scuba instructor walked us through a refresher, showed us some beautiful spots, and took great photos/videos of us around the shipwreck. After the dives, they made us a tasty lunch in the shop.

Views of the water were incredible. It’s Bali! Top notch driver - Wira getting me to the dive site and taking me back to my hotel. He was a trooper. We also had time to visit a coffee shop on the way back. The dive shop fed me some great food after our 2 dives for the day of the USS Liberty. The dive master was extremely knowledgeable and helpful.

Diving experience was wonderful. I flew into Bali the night before late and was able to secure a spot for the next morning. The driver picked me up at my hotel in Kuta and took me to the dive site and brought me back. What a trooper! They made sure I was fed and had the dive camera available if I needed one. All equipment provided and you can’t beat the experience diving in a beautiful place. I would definitely recommend and can take you to other notable points of interest. Thank you for the experience!

Amazing tour saw so much. Only second time diving so they gave me good instructions and kept me safe. Excellent transport there and back to my hotel

The dives were absolutely worth the trip! This shipwreck is shallower than most, with the deepest part reaching only 25 meters, making it accessible for Open Water-certified divers. Originally beached, it was later pushed into the water by a volcanic eruption, adding to its unique history. Exploring the wreck was a magical experience—swimming around and through the structure, I spotted a coral-covered cannon and an incredible variety of colorful fish. An unforgettable dive!

Easy dive with lots to see. Ketut (DM) and Bawa (driver) were great. Rainy season affects visibility at the site, so time your visit accordingly.

The dives were totally worth the trip. The shipwreck is shallower (deepest part only 25m) than most other shipwrecks in the world. It was beached and then got pushed into the water by volcano. So OW certified divers could totally do it. It was such a magical and amazing experience diving around and through the ship. I saw the cannon that got covered by coral and there were so many fish of different colors and shapes. It’s a shore dive but the walk was very manageable (only 3mins from the dive shop). Hands down the easiest and most comfortable shore dives I had so far. I stayed at the Uluwatu area so was 4 hrs drive one way; a round trip would be 8hrs for a 2hrs dive (2 tanks). Thankfully the shop offers rides (with extra charge). My driver Tole was awesome! He made the 8hr ride so enjoyable. Highly recommend this experience!
