Details

The fourth dive of the Bali trip was on the wreck of the USAT Liberty at Tulamben. The USAT Liberty was a US Army cargo vessel that was torpedoed by the Japanese in 1942 and has since become encrusted with marine life.

Landung took us to the stern first and then around, through and over the wreck. He also showed us a number of sea fans with pygmy seahorses.
