What to expect

Our friendly and professional crew welcomes you at the meeting point to check you in, get your rental gear sorted and after the safety briefing we start our journey. 

During the travel to the fascinating Yongala wreck you can relax in shaded or sunny spots on the vessel and already spot dolphins, whales (seasonable) and sea snakes while enjoying your morning tea and listening to great stories from our skipper. 

Just before we reach the wreck it is time for our dive briefings. You have the option to dive with your old or new dive buddies or follow a dive leader to discover the best spots on the wreck. 

During the surface interval we serve or tropical lunch and listen to the Yongala history talk of our passionate crew before we dive back in for our second dive. Once back on board we pack up and leave this amazing dive spot behind to head back to shore while you can exchange your experiences with your new found dive buddies and friends and enjoy our afternoon tea. 

Back at shore the crew will wave goodbye while you take everlasting memories and images home with you.
