Specialised Diving Experiences
Wreck Diving
You'll find more shipwrecks off Queensland than anywhere else in Australia. Hundreds of ships met their fate off the coast and many others were sunk to form intriguing artificial reefs shrouded with coral and teeming with vibrant fish and curious marine life. World class shipwreck diving sites include the SS Yongala near Townsville, the RMS Quetta and the HMAS Warrnambool, both off the coast of Cape York, and the Ex HMAS Brisbane in the depths off the Sunshine Coast.
Night Diving
If you love the reef by day, it's a whole new world of discovery at night! Even experienced divers are amazed at how different a site looks and feels by night. Viewing coral at night with a white light brings out their colours better than in sunlight. In the Coral Sea keep a lookout for rare glowing flashlight fish as they swim in and out of the reef's protection. Coral Spawning in the Great Barrier Reef takes place on a full moon in October/November, making it a most spectacular night to dive.
