The wreck of the S.S Yongala lies on its starboard side in 14-28 metres of water and at 109m long is the largest and most intact, historic shipwreck in Australian waters. Giant Queensland trevally and cobia congregate around the depths of the wreck. Queen fish, barracuda, turtles, sea snakes, eagle rays and clown fish are just some of the other incredible life inhabiting the coral encrusted structure. It's certainly a dive experience you will never forget.
