The main reason that scuba divers travel the world to get to Tulamben is the USAT Liberty Shipwreck, which lies just 40 meters from the beach and is certainly the most accessible WW II shipwreck that you are likely to dive.

A combination of torpedoes and a volcanic eruption have caused this great ship to sit in shallow waters. The top sits in just 5 meters and the rest drops away to around 30 meters, meaning all levels of diver can experience parts of this wreck, which is festooned with healthy corals, sea fans and great barrel sponges.

With an easy shore entry, calm conditions and good visibility, the Tulamben Shipwreck is an excellent dive site for those trying scuba diving for the first time as well as for more experienced divers.
