is a national historic site and lies within the beautiful Great Barrier
Reef Marine Park. The artifacts, marine life and variety of corals
that cover the wreck are spectacular. It’s a dive experience you will
remember for the rest of your life!
The S.S Yongala sank during a cyclone in 1911 with the loss of all
on board. It was not until 1958 that the wreck was discovered and
due to it’s remote location it has remained mostly untouched.
The wreck begins 14m below the surface and extends to 28m.
Since it is the only reef structure in the region, the marine life
flocks to the wreck providing for an unforgettable diving
experience! Depending on weather conditions divers encounter
moderate currents and a choppy surface.
