    Go For It - awesome dive - fabulous guides

    Sensational dive site with great friendly guides who made everyone feel comfortable and safe. We had a mixed group of those with dive tickets and without. Guides connected us all in water and allowed us to explore based on our experience levels. All while looking after our safety. It’s a long bus ride, but team stopped for a toilet break and snacks. Would highly recommend for certified and non-certified divers.

    A Fab Day

    A really great dive day. From booking online, to communicating with Bali Dive to register and sort sizing etc. pick up on time, gear all set up .. drive is long but driver was very good. Our dive leader was great and the two dives were perfect - we could not of wished for anything more. A wonderful day with memories that will be with us for life.

    USS Liberty Scuba Dive May 2025 (Tulamben, Bali) through Bali Diving

    BOOKING Easy to book and pay for, the required forms were emailled out and easy to fill out. There are free shuttle pickup locations to choose from. I booked everything the day before, do yourself a favour, give yourself more than a day, so you can plan the pickup location easier. Although this could have been because I relied on email as I don't use Whats App. The ladies in the office were lovely and spoke amazing english to make the whole trip stress free. PRE-DEPARTURE Prior to departing, you will be sized up for your equipment, all of which is obviously well used with who knnows how many divers using it over its lifetime, but it is also well maintained, I did have 1 regulator issue that I identified prior to starting my dive, but they also carried spares. TRAVEL and FOOD A ~3.5 hour drive each way, with a comfort stop on the way there to stretch you legs, toilet break and snacks. At the dive site, you are based out of a resturant, where lunch and a drink is included, with a number of local and western options to enjoy after your first dive. THE DIVE Enough of the boring stuff, and down to the dive itself. Chris was my guide, with 9+ years of experience. He was very friendly and conducted himself calmly and professionally, he gave a clear dive brief including safety before the dives, with Chris' hundreds of dives a year, he knows this wreck like the back of his hand. He set a perfect pace to "take it all in" and take pictures 📸 🐟 🐠 🐡 🐙 🪸 Everything you would expect to see was there and too many to name, take your macro lens with you. The wreck itself was very accessible, and from the beach you enter and are shortly decending and passing over a coral garden, that in itself provides an execellent view to take in at the start of the dive and also just after your safety stop on the return to the surface. I went in mid-May, just after the rainy season, and it wasn't too busy, I was lucky enough to have Chris to myself. There were plenty of other divers in the water, but we only occasionally saw them and then, only briefly. The water temp was 28⁰C, the visibility was 15-20m, the dive time for each dive was 50+ mins and max depth ~ 20m. Great experience, and cant reccomend Chris enough, Toto was another guide who was there with us but taking some new divers on their first dive experience, he too had many years of experience and a funny guy, ask him to show you his magic tricks 🎩 🪄. When you break it all down, transport (6-7 hrs) plus a shuttle pick up and drop off, equipment hire, 2 dives, a guide, lunch; you get a lot for your money. All in all a great experience,

    Amazing Diving

    Amazing experience with Bali Diving. Everything was smooth sailing and our instructor, Tunas, was incredible. He made us feel at ease, made us laugh, and guided us through everything with clarity! Really made us feel safe and maximised our diving experience!

    Personalised service

    The personalised service was outstanding. I dove with my adult son and his partner who is a new diver. I am senior and we were all looked after, To have most of the weight taken from me on land was so helpful, especially on the uneven slippery volcanic rocks. They personalised the diving to suit all our experience. The equipment was in great condition, computers in good working order and set in front of us (Nitrox) The restaurant and meal/snacks/facilities all terrific. Definitely a company who pride themselves on personalised service.

    Bali Scuba Diving trip at Tulamben for Certified Diver: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kuta.

    How much does Bali Scuba Diving trip at Tulamben for Certified Diver cost?

    +

    Prices start at $98 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kuta usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Bali Scuba Diving trip at Tulamben for Certified Diver take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kuta is not rushed.

    Is Bali Scuba Diving trip at Tulamben for Certified Diver worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 27 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kuta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Bali Scuba Diving trip at Tulamben for Certified Diver?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Bali Scuba Diving trip at Tulamben for Certified Diver suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Bali Scuba Diving trip at Tulamben for Certified Diver?

    +

    Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kuta can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kuta and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Bali Scuba Diving trip at Tulamben for Certified Diver start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kuta within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Kuta?

    +

The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Kuta?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Kuta?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
