Japanese Wreck

20 minutes by Car / Scooter

Located just off shore at Banyuning beach – this charming coral encrusted wreck sits in 3 – 12 meters depth. Teeming with fish and corals this makes for an excellent dive and great snorkel. The slope away from the wreck is extremely rich in gorgonians – look out for pelagics at the point and watch the current.

USAT Liberty Wreck

10 MINUTES 

By far the most famous dive in Bali, the Liberty Wreck rests at a depth of 7 -30 meters just off the beach in Tulamben. The ship was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine and beached while under tow. The wreck is easily accessible from the shore and offers great conditions with amazing coral growth and abundant reef fish. A must dive while in Amed!
