SS Yongala Wreck

Australia · Queensland

One of the world's greatest wreck dives, the SS Yongala sank in 1911 during a cyclone and now rests intact at 15 to 28 metres, blanketed in coral and teeming with an extraordinary density of marine life. Bull sharks, giant gropers, marble rays, and sea snakes patrol the vessel year-round in the warm waters off Townsville.
