WOW!!!!!

We loved out dive at the USAT Liberty. We went with a guide from Eco Divers Bali and enjoyed every minute. Well I had a few scary moments! The shore dive is great for SCUBA divers of all levels. The wreck was amazing and the fish life stunning. The Eel Garden totally amazing!!
The dive was the best we have ever done. My hubby worked out the calculations and checked with the CO that we were correct. Grabbed the cache before heading home.

I am a tentative and have only done a few dives. This is to be recommended. If you are not sure!! DO IT!! As long as the conditions are good you will not be disappointed.

I would give this 10 Favourites if I could!

Dive trip Bali 2015. Day 6. We have two days diving at Tulamben and today began with two dives on the USAT Liberty Wreck. I found my way to the two spots with our dive guide, but it seems one of the answers has changed. The life on and around the wreck is incredible and I saw a few critters I have not seen before. As for the cache I was happy to get a hint and dropped in for a visit. Great to meet you, this is an amazing area.

Thanks

Odloveno v celku v pohodě diky za krabku nasel jsem jen jeden TB a jeden GC jinak nic

tak to uz je vrak z vraku

Our honeymoon brought us to Bali, we visited this Cache and could not bring it to an end on the first time. A Geocacher who did this Cache before gave us some help and so we finished this special one in two runnings.

Thanks to glogloman for this one.

Back in Tulamben after four years. The last time we stayed here we weren't into Geocaching. Now we are so we had to find this geocache. The reason we came back was to do more dives on the Liberty Wreck. And now we also had a mission, find the answers to the questions. At 7 o'clock we started our first and early morning dive. We told the guide what we were trying to find out as he was looking for some nice animals that live here in the water.

We started the dive at the stern and found this answer very quickly. We continued our dive along the wreck and in the meantime our guide found a very nice ghostpipefish and 2 very nice and very small nudibranches. After inspecting the cargo room we found the second answer. Then we saw a turtle just outside of the wreck. Very nice. After one hour of diving we returned to the beach and had some time before the next dive. So we could calculate the coordinates and on the map it seemed very oke.
But there was no time today to look for it because we had another 3 dives planned today.

So the next day we had a relax day. After some swimming in the pool of our resort and enjoying the sun we took a little walk into Tulamben. While reaching GZ we heard some people call the word Geocaching. Then we were very sure that this was the right spot. After having a cocacola and a talk with the owner of the place we signed the logbook and took some pictures. We discovered just 2 of the 8 trackables that were supposed to be in here. As we didn't have anything with us to put into the box we didn't take anything out.

We would like to thank glogloman for this geocache. We liked the combination of diving and geocaching. It wasn't our first dive cache. We already had found one in the Netherlands but here the water is nice and warm and the visibility is much better. So this one will definitely be on our favorite list.

#572. Nice snorkeling. Lots of fishes. Great boat. It was a little difficult to find A and B because of there were a lot of things which could look like. Finally after extrapolation, we found directly the cache. TFTC

After having solved the coordinates puzzle halve by diving and halve by guessing, the cache was located.
Dropped Lancelot du Lac to start his search for the paradise grail here.

No.: 217 Nice wreck, nice dive with parrot fish and finally lot of fish and pictures. Thanks for the cache and sending greetings to "the man" - Jiri Hruska and cache friend h. histrio Mi17lan of the Czech Republic.

Coin in

Another coin drop. Sorry.

Da wir weiterhin zum Tauchen nicht tauchen, haben wir diesen Cache bereits Zuhause gelöst. So war es dann fast ein drive in um den Cache zu loggen. Wir genehmigten uns noch einen balinesischen Kopi und dann ging es zum Wrack.
Interessiert beobachteten wir, das vor allem kleine schmale Frauen das ganze Equipment zum Strand trugen. Die Männer sind allein für das Geschäfte machen zuständig und die Touristen haben natürlich "fürstlich" dafür bezahlt, hofiert zu werden.
Ich hab mir dann das Wrack bei einem kleinen Schnorcheltripp angesehen, zum Schnorcheln ist es aber sicher nicht die schönste Stelle auf Bali, eindrucksvoll ist es aber trotzdem.

As we don't dive, we solved this cache alredy at home, also wiht a little help from our friends. Thanks for that!
After this we went to the beach and Mr Resope took a look at the wrack, which is clearly visible starting at about -5m.

Interesting also to observe the diving business here. Small women carrying one or two oxygen bottles for foreigners and men making business arangements from the shadow.

Danke für den Cache, resope
Thank you for the cache, Resope from Germany

Dies ist ein Nachlog wegen einer Accounttrennung. Log im Logbuch erfolgte unter "Resope". Online ist er zur Zeit unter "elmare" nachzulesen. Ich bitte um Verstaendnis fuer diesen Nachlog. Dieser ist nicht nur (aber auch) statistisch begruendet. Bei einer Fund-Zahl von 4500 erklaert sich diese Notwendigkeit allein durch einen Blick auf die aktuelle Karte meiner Homezone. Das reinste Chaos! Gegen die Regularien ist diese Maßnahme des Nachloggens meiner Meinung uebrigens nicht. ist es doch mit nur einem Klick moeglich seinen Nickname bei geocaching.com zu aendern. Danach stimmen Online- und Originallog ja eigentlich auch nicht mehr ueberein. An die meisten Funde kann ich mich gut erinnern und sie haben mir viel Freude gemacht. Dies ist nur ein Spiel. ich bitte darum dies nicht zu vergessen. Bis bald. Bubalus arnee

After spending the night in Amed I and Lenda78 headed for the Liberty shipwreck. We could not really find out the answers by snorkeling but luckily we were able to brute force the location of cache TFTC!
TB out

We (Atapi and me) weren't able to calculate the objects while snorkeling but were lucky and found the cache anyway It was interesting to try to solve the task though. TFTC!

When I looked up all the geocaches in Bali, this one looked like a real challenge. A couple of months ago I started diving back in Belgium, so this was an excellent opportunity to test my skills.

Those skills and my mathematic skills helped me to calculate the final coordinates. I found the cache today with Silke during our honeymoon...

Nice one, TFTC!

Traveling to Bali with Busca5 and a new cacher who happened to be a diver. However she didn't have her gear but the thought was for her to attempt via snorkel. We did some research beforehand to orient ourselves to the site. While she was tossed about by the surf on her trip out to the shipwreck, Busca5 and I thought we would play with numbers on the shore. I was pretty confident that I knew "B" and I tried a couple of numbers until we got an answer that seemed reasonable. Sure enough, after pulling our friend out of the surf, we took a gamble and followed the GPSr until we got to our expected location. As we wondered if we were in the right place, we heard a friendly voice asking "Geocache?" There was even the universal geocaching sign at the establishment. We all laughed and enjoyed lassis as reward. I traded a couple of trackables for the two I found there. Thank you for the most excellent caching experience in Bali!

What an adventure! We had a friend (LassiPatti) snorkel for us, but the water conditions were not very clear. Another friend (Gealabhan) helped us use brute force to locate the final GZ. The guardians were very happy to see us and we had fruit lazzies to celebrate! We took nothing and left a shell-shaped charm TFTC

After 4 spectacular dives on the wreck. Being totally pummelled by a big surf on the night dive we did. Hammered into the beach by 2m waves on exit I really feel I deserve this find. I ended up finding the location of GZ and signing the log.The cache keepers were very happy to see me. Didn't take anything to swap but I did sign the log.
Thanks glogloman for a brilliant end to a great dive trip.

What a great spot! We rented a scooter and drove here from Amed, rented snorkeling equipment and went searching for the clues. Unfortunatelly we didn't have a picture from the cache description so we weren't sure where to search for the information. At the end we did find some details but were obviously not the right ones as we ended up in front of a private house for which we presumed was not the right place for the final location.

Anyway, it was great swimming around the wrecks. I'm just angry with myself that I forgot the camera back in the bungalow:/
