About the experience
Wrecks, walls and deep blue.
Bali has two signature dive regions. Tulamben in the north-east: the USAT Liberty wreck lies close enough to swim to from the beach, between 5 and 30 metres, and is almost completely covered in coral. Nusa Penida in the south-east: current-swept, cold and dramatic walls — where manta and, in season, mola mola are seen.
This is a full-day programme. Tulamben is about three hours one way from south Bali; you leave early, do two dives and return in the afternoon. For Nusa Penida you cross by boat from Sanur and the day runs just as long.
If you are certified, we plan the dives directly. If not, a Discover Scuba dive is possible: a short pool briefing, then a shallow dive to 12 metres one-to-one with an instructor. Either way, equipment and a PADI instructor are included.
“The Liberty’s hull has been growing coral for eighty years; it is more reef than wreck now.”
Highlights
Three things that set this day apart
A Second World War cargo ship within swimming distance of the shore, lying between 5 and 30 metres. Bali’s best-known dive site.
Not a crowded boat dive. The briefing is yours, and your instructor stays within sight underwater.
Discover Scuba for the uncertified, a two-dive day for certified divers, the Penida walls for advanced.
