The SS Yongala rests on the sandy seabed, inclined to its starboard side, in 30m depth, its upper sections reach about 15m below the surface. With a length of 109 m the Yongala is the largest and most intact historical wreck of Australia.
After more than 100 years the wreck has become an artificial reef with an abundance of marine life.
And everything is big! Fascinating purple soft corals and large hard corals cover the wreck. Diving in a “fish soup” of giant groupers, huge trevallies, big marble rays, schools of barracuda, turtles and white tip reef sharks make the dive an unforgettable experience, but you can also find octopus, colorful nudibranches and sea horses.
Diving across the upper deck, you see the port hull, richly covered with soft corals and sponges. The view into the compartments and along the companionways is disturbed by schools of fish.
Under the bow there are big groups of jacks and sweetlips; moving along the sandy bottom towards the stern you can encounter huge napoleons. Each of the broken spars from the deck that are leaning on the sand is surrounded by squadrons of fish.
The stern attracts many photographers who take a shot of the rudderless rudder area.
Due to frequent strong currents at this dive site, it is only recommended for advanced divers.
