SS Yongala Dive Site — Australia

About SS Yongala

Australia's most famous wreck dive and one of the world's best. This 109m passenger ship sank in 1911 and is now encrusted with hard and soft corals, hosting an extraordinary density of marine life including bull sharks, sea snakes, giant groupers, and massive schools of trevally swirling around the hull.
