Liberty Dive Resort

Located in the heart of Tulamben, Liberty Dive Resort offers immediate access to some of Bali's most iconic underwater sites. The resort's position allows you to walk straight from your accommodation to the shore, where the volcanic sands meet the Indian Ocean.

The area is renowned globally for its combination of historic wrecks and vibrant reef systems. Whether you are looking to explore the depths of a sunken vessel or search the seabed for rare macro species, the logistics here are designed to keep you in the water.

As a PADI Dive Resort, the centre operates with a focus on professional guidance and safety. Dive groups are kept small, with a maximum of two divers per guide to ensure a personalised experience on the reef.

The team is dedicated to providing a relaxed atmosphere for all levels of experience. From those completing their first Discovery Scuba Diving to advanced divers seeking technical skills, the instruction is handled by experienced professionals.

The centre offers a comprehensive range of PADI courses for every stage of a diver's progression. Beginners can start with Discovery Scuba Diving before moving through the PADI Open Water Diver course.

For those looking to advance their skills, the centre provides PADI Adventure Diver, PADI Advanced Open Water, and PADI Rescue Diver training. Specialized training such as the PADI Enriched Air Diver (Nitrox) course is also available to help you manage your decompression limits more effectively.

The resort provides a complete range of equipment for hire, including regulators, BCDs, and wetsuits. For those looking to document their dives, underwater camera rentals for GoPro and TG series models are available.

Nitrox is available on-site for certified divers to help extend bottom times. For those requiring more gas, 15-litre cylinders can be requested for both Air and Nitrox.

Onshore facilities include an open-air restaurant, a swimming pool, and comfortable lounge areas to relax between dives. The resort also offers various accommodation options ranging from garden cottages to spacious villas.

The reefs around Tulamben are a mosaic of hard and soft corals, including large barrel sponges, sea fans (Gorgoniidae), and various colorful corals. These structures support a high density of reef fish, such as snapper (Lutjanus), wrasses (Labridae), and various species of angelfish (Pomacanthidae).

Macro enthusiasts will find the black sand slopes and wreck crevices particularly rewarding. You can find a vast array of small creatures, including pygmy seahorse (Hippocampus bargibanti), Ornate ghost pipefish (Solenostomus paradoxus), and various nudibranchs (Chromodoris willani). The area is also known for harlequin shrimps, mimic octopuses, and various species of frogfish (Antennarius).

Larger animals are also frequently sighted throughout the region. You may encounter sharks, including blacktip reef sharks (Carcharhinus melanopterus) and whitetip reef sharks (Triaenodon obesus), as well as barracuda and various species of rays. Turtles are also a common sight when exploring the reef flats and walls.
