Event information
Registrations for this event are closed.
Double Dive: ex-HMAS Brisbane wreck
The dive
When you dive, you will be greeted by clownfish, anemones and even wrasse. All of this combines for a very colourful display. You may even come across octopus, who are able to disguise themselves amongst the coral with plenty of lionfish and puffers. As you venture closer, it’s not uncommon to see huge schools of tiny fish and hermit crabs scurrying across the sandy floor. It’s an unforgettable experience that really does take you through one of the most magnificent dive sites in the world. If you are contemplating whether to go ahead or not, then this should be more than enough for you to take that next step.
