When diving in Bali, two locations seem unmissable: the WWII USAT Liberty wreck and the macro haven of Tulamben.

Nusa Lembongan, with its rich, untouched ecosystem reminiscent of a pristine, international version of Lanyu, boasts consistent 30-meter visibility and seasonal Mola Mola sightings.

But with limited vacation time and expensive airfare, making a choice can be difficult.

No problem! Why choose when you can have it all? This trip is designed for those who want it all.

One dive trip to experience both locations!

Trip Highlights

Highlight ❶ Two Paradises, One Trip

The distance between Tulamben and Nusa Lembongan is similar to that between Taiwan's Northeast Coast and Lanyu. Visiting these locations usually requires two separate trips or a longer vacation.

This itinerary lets you experience both destinations in a single trip. While the schedule is more packed, it saves you the time and expense of two separate journeys.

Highlight ❷ The USAT Liberty Wreck: A World-Class Dive Site

The world-renowned USAT Liberty Wreck is located just thirty meters from the shore. This former US Army transport ship was torpedoed by the Japanese in 1942 and grounded on the beach. It wasn't until the eruption of Mount Agung in 1963 that the tremors pushed it into the sea.

Resting for over 60 years, the Liberty has become home to a vast array of marine life. Lush corals have grown over its hull and decks, giving this decommissioned vessel a completely new and vibrant appearance.

Nearly 130 meters long, this underwater behemoth is an absolute must-see for anyone interested in wreck diving.

Highlight ❸ Tulamben: A Macro Diver's Dream

Tulamben is a small fishing village on Bali's northeast coast. Over time, volcanic activity and ocean waves have broken down the beach's pebbles into fine, black sand that settles on the seabed.

This substrate provides an ideal environment for macro creatures. You can easily spot over a dozen different species of nudibranchs on a single dive. Bring your nudibranch guide and get ready to check off some amazing finds!

Highlight ❹ Nusa Lembongan: Pristine and Wild

Southeast of Bali are three connected islands: Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Penida, and Nusa Ceningan.

These islands are relatively untouched by human interference, offering incredible opportunities for interacting with nature.

Due to their location and the influence of upwelling currents from the south, the water temperature here is usually cooler, but the visibility is exceptional.

Strong currents create an environment where large pelagic species thrive, including manta rays, sharks, tuna, and seasonally, Mola Mola (oceanic sunfish).

Manta Point is a year-round location for manta ray encounters!

Highlight ❺ Seasonal Mola Mola Encounters

July to October is the Mola Mola (oceanic sunfish) season in Nusa Lembongan.

These massive fish, reaching up to 5.5 meters in length and 3,500 kilograms in weight, are the largest bony fish in the world.

Their unique appearance makes them look unlike any other fish. Lacking a traditional tail fin, they have an unusually adorable appearance. They sometimes bask at the surface to raise their body temperature, hence the nickname "sunfish."

Nusa Lembongan's Crystal Bay is one of the few places in the world where you have a high probability of witnessing Mola Mola in their natural habitat!
