USS Liberty Wreck
The USS Liberty was an American transport ship, carrying war supplies, which was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine in Lombok straight in 1942. The ship was towed to the beach at Tulamben, where it was beached and salvaged, and there it remained, until 1963. The eruption of the volcano that sits behind Tulamben, Mt Agung, pushed the USS Liberty back into the ocean, and although the wreck now only sits 50 meters from shore, the steep drop away of the coast, puts it in quite deep water.
This has created what is surely the most accessible large wreck dive anyway in the world! Within walking distance from the road, only a 50-meter swim from a black rock beach, lays a 120-meter long warship, in water ranging from 10 to 30 meters deep! Obviously, this has become a mecca for divers, from the experienced to the complete novice. Dive guides will escort their clients around the wreck, and find them some of the more interesting sites, including once cavernous section of the hull, that has a "titanic ballroom" feel. Fish life abounds, including huge schools of Jackfish, that form a circular wall of fish, that a diver can swim into, and be totally surrounded, almost blocking out the wreck, as well as resident groupers, lion fish, "nemo's", and many more.
