The main reason that snorkelers travel the world to get to Tulamben is the USAT Liberty Shipwreck, which lies just 40 meters from the beach and is one of the few shipwrecks that can actually be seen while snorkeling.

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, making it possible for all levels of divers to 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 snorkeling place.
