- Just off the east coast of Bali, Indonesia, is the wreck of the USAT liberty which is a favorite for scuba divers. Easily reached from the shore, this wreck is a favorite for scuba divers visiting the lovely Island of Bali.
Liberty′s wreck rests about 40 metres (100 ft) from the beach in Tulamben, Bali, Indonesia. The highest point of the wreck is at a depth of about 5 metres (16 ft) and the lowest point sits at about 30 metres (100 ft)
USAT Liberty was a United States Army cargo ship torpedoed by Japanese submarine I-166 in January 1942 and beached on the island of Bali, Indonesia.
US destroyer Paul Jones and Dutch destroyer Van Ghent took the damaged ship in tow attempting to reach Celukan bawang harbour at Singaraja, the Dutch port and administrative centre for the Lesser Sunda Islands, on the north coast of Bali. However she was taking too much water and so was beached on the eastern shore of Bali at Tulamben so that the cargo and fittings could be salvaged
In 1963 the tremors associated with the eruption of Mount Agung caused the vessel to slip off the beach, and she now lies on a sand slope in 25 to 100 feet (7.6 to 30.5 m) of water, providing one of the most popular dive sites off Bali.
