Diving Tulamben: 3 Dives from Kuta with Pickup

Three dives at the USS Liberty wreck and two other Tulamben sites, all gear and lunch included.

A three-dive day trip from Kuta to Tulamben's most famous dive sites, with hotel pickup and drop-off included. You'll dive the USS Liberty shipwreck, the Coral Gardens, and the Tulamben Drop Off (or choose two other sites), with all scuba equipment, lunch, and tea or coffee provided. The day runs about 11 hours, starting with a 7am pickup and a 2-hour drive north to the dive center.

The experience

A driver meets you at your hotel reception at 7am and drives you to Dive Concepts' center in Tulamben, roughly 2 hours north. Once you arrive, the team handles the paperwork and fits you with your gear. Three dives are planned for the day: you'll definitely dive the USS Liberty, a famous shipwreck, then choose two other sites from the Coral Gardens, the Tulamben Drop Off, and other notable Tulamben locations. Between dives you return to the center in Tulamben Bay, where tea, coffee and WiFi are available.

Lunch is provided at the dive center's restaurant. All scuba equipment is included, so you bring nothing but your certification card and a towel. The center has shower facilities, lockers and a change room. If you want underwater photos or video of your dives, digital cameras are available to rent. At the end of the day the driver takes you back to your hotel.

Certified instructors lead the dives in English, Spanish or French. The trip is popular because the Liberty wreck is one of Bali's most sought-after dives, so booking early guarantees your place.
