Explore the Liberty shipwreck located 9-30 metres beneath the waves at Tulamben, a half an hour drive from the resort. The 120 metre long WWI cargo ship, equipped with guns for WWII, was torpedoed by the Japanese in 1942 and now lies encrusted in anemone, gorgonia and coral amidst the stunningly diverse ecosystem. From the minute anglerfish, neon nudibranchs, ghost pipefish through to the areas of garden eels and multi-coloured clouds of anthias and damsels and on to the schools of sweetlips, batfish, fusiliers and butterflyfish, the variety of marine life in the waters surrounding the wreck are amazing.

They generally start at 10 metres with the flat coral reefs offering gentle conditions, lots of sunlight and are full of medium and small fish. The walls are full of small nooks and crannies, overhangs, and bigger cavelettes and crevasses, all covered with soft corals, gorgonian fans and sponges.

White Water Rafting
