The main reason that snorkelers travel the world to get to Tulamben is the USAT Liberty Shipwreck, lying just 40 meters from the beach and one of the few shipwrecks that can actually be seen while snorkeling.

A combination of torpedoes and a volcanic eruption have caused this great ship to sit in shallow waters. The top sits in just 5 meters and the rest drops away to around 30 meters meaning all levels of diver can experience parts of this wreck, which is festooned with healthy corals, sea fans and great barrel sponges

With an easy shore entry, calm conditions and good visibility, the Tulamben Shipwreck is en excellent snorkeling place.
