We have the opportunity to dive one of south-east Queensland's best dive sites ! This trip is chartered for Sunday 28th of May 2017 with Sunreef in Mooloolaba.

The ex-HMAS Brisbane was a 133m long destroyer in the Royal Australian Navy. After 34 years, serving in both the Vietnam and Gulf war, the ship was decommissioned in 2001. Then in July 2005 the ship was sunk just off the Sunshine Coast as a artificial reef and dive site. The wreck has since been colonised by sponges, soft corals, and hard corals, while over 200 different species of fish have been sighted in the area.

As the bottom of the wreck lies in about 27m depth and there will be no guides, this trip is for experienced divers only, which means that in order to come along you must hold an advanced diving certificate, as well as have done 30+ dives over 10+ dive sites.

I have chartered the whole boat from Sunreef, which means that there are 13 spots on this trip IF an instructor and dive master come, 11 spots for open water divers. The costs will be roughly  $100pp for the charter and $30 for tanks with the option of a free upgrade to Nitrox for anyone certified, which comes to $130 total for a double dive at the wreck. Apart from tanks and weights, gear hire will remain your responsibility.

If this all sounds good, go ahead a register and save your spot on this trip. As soon as the participants list has filled up, I will ask you pay a deposit of AUD $100 for the charter through online transfer. We will have a briefing on Thursday prior to this trip. The group meets 7:15am at Sunreef.
