The great barrier reef is the biggest structure created by organisms, and can be seen from the moon! It is the home of an impressive panel of marine life, and is often described as on the the 7 world wonders.
The 110m S.S. Yongala sank during a cyclone on March 23rd, 1911 and it was not until 1958 that the wreck was first dived and due to its remote location it has remained mostly untouched. The wreck begins 15m below the surface and extends to 29m, and is classified on the top 10’s best dive in worldwide!
Often seen are Turtles, Sea Snakes, Giant Trevally, Queensland gropers, Eagle Rays, Manta Rays, Sharks, thousands of tropical fish and in the cooler months, Humpback Whales.
