About this tour

What to expect
You'll be picked up from your hotel in the morning and driven north to Tulamben (roughly 1.5–2 hours depending on starting location). Once at the dive site, you'll meet your dive master, go through a safety briefing, and prepare your gear. The first dive takes you down to explore the USS Liberty wreck, typically lasting 40–50 minutes. You'll surface, rest, have lunch and refreshments, then complete your second dive on the same or nearby site. After the dives finish, you'll rinse off in the shower facilities, change, and be driven back to your hotel, arriving in late afternoon.

Good to know
This suits anyone with basic fitness who wants to see a significant shipwreck without committing to a live-aboard or overnight trip. You must be at least 14 years old and have moderate physical fitness. It's not recommended for pregnant women, people with heart conditions, asthma, or spinal injuries. You need to wait a minimum of 24 hours after diving before flying. The drive is long (roughly 3–4 hours return), so it's a full-day commitment. DVD recordings and souvenir photos are available to purchase separately. Gratuities are optional. Infant children can attend if they sit on an adult's lap, though they won't dive.
