About this tour
A full-day beginner scuba diving experience in Tulamben, north Bali, combining two dives at Coral Garden and the USAT Liberty shipwreck. You'll spend 11 hours total, including a gentle skills session in shallow water before exploring the main sites at depths up to 12 metres. Free hotel pickup from south Bali areas (Sanur, Kuta, Seminyak, Jimbaran, Nusa Dua, Ubud) means no separate transport hassle. All equipment, instruction and lunch are included — you just show up.

What to expect
You'll be picked up from your hotel in the morning and driven to Tulamben's dive center. After a briefing with your instructor, you'll enter the water at Coral Garden where you'll practise basic breathing and movement skills in shallow, standing-depth water to build comfort. Once confident, you'll explore the reef site itself. You'll return to the dive center for a break, lunch and refreshments.
In the afternoon, you'll head out for your second dive at the USAT Liberty wreck, a deeper site (up to 12 metres) where you'll see the historic shipwreck and surrounding marine life. After surfacing and a final debrief, you'll be driven back to your hotel, arriving late afternoon or early evening.
