Deep Dive S.S. Yongala Wreck: GBR's Legendary Marine Oasis

Beautiful wreck dive. Would 100% do it again. Great crew, very helpful all day. Nice food and drink throughout the day too. Thanks guys

The best diving trip in Australia! Yongala has the most impressive marine biodiversity in one spot! Adrenaline dive team were very helpful and attentive and professional.

Brilliant crew, felt safe and welcomed. Boat was in great condition and very comfortable. Lunch and plenty of snacks provided. Learning the history of the wreck was an added bonus. So much marine life to enjoy. Highly recommend 👌

Mike, Rob and the team were professional as always and full of information both safety wise and with regards to the Yongala wreck. Rob had all the time in the world to answer questions and a bucket load of patience for divers of all skill levels from AOW and above. Other than always feeling that safety is an absolute priority with Adrenalin, the vessel was perfect for the day (love lounging upstairs) and the dives were mind blowing. We’ve been out here many times and have experienced some hectic current occasionally on the wreck and regularly hectic surface current. It was ripping on the surface today but once below 4 or so meters it was so calm. On the wreck itself the marine life were going nuts today. Loads and loads of large fish feeding - more than I’ve seen before on Yongala. We could easily just hover and observe in zero current. Utter blissful experience.

Best dive mob in Townsville. We are regular customers and Paul and his team always make the experience enjoyable. And then there is the SS Yongala itself. Epic!

Amazing day. Best dive site I have visited, adrenaline dive were amazing to deal with. Would highly recommend to everyone

What a great trip! Absolutely amazing site, saw Manta Ray, Eagle Rays, and a Bull Ray. And so many fish and coral!! Great staff, excellent quality gear and felt very safe the well taken care of. Would highly recommend

I have now done twenty dives on this wreck all of which have been great. Some with no current others with a strong current. In my opinion this wreck is one of the best for marine life however when the current is on this dive is for experienced divers as it's easy to get yourself in trouble. Dive this site with a reputable dive company.

Over Easter we dived the Yongala on a day trip from Alva Beach with a different dive operator, paying $250 for 2 dives per person (with our own gear) We enjoyed our dive and decided we would return again, after much research, we opted to go with Adrenaline, we have always wanted to do a liveaboard and are SO glad we finally did! ADRENALINE- completely over delivered on our expectations! To say it was an incredible experience is an understatement.. * 3 day/ 3 night on a liveaboard including accomodation, 10 dives ( 2 of which were night dives) 6 meals a day = $1000 per person - very good value! * diving incredible, untouched and unspoilt reefs * morning dive on the yongala - best experience, prime feeding time 👌 * fantastic operators, Paul (captain and owner) Over 30 years in the business, knowledge of area and dive sights is amazing! * Wonderful staff - Lazlo and Perry are fantastic dive masters, instructors - assisting you out of water where required, leading dives, pointing out marine life, knowing where to find them and a thorough emphasis on safety and diving briefs. Kym is an excellent cook with great taste in music! continental and cooked breakfasts, chicken and salads, green curry and spaghetti bolognaise, apple pie and ice cream were some of the meals, enjoyed by all.. We can’t wait to return and dive with adrenaline again! A must do experience with pinch me moments, highly recommend!

I had not been diving for a few years so booking a 3-day trip including a wreck was bot exhilarating and scary. Needless to say, Adrenalin Dive hit the mark on all account: professionalism, safety, food, knowledge of the reef, individual care. Despite what I would consider a relatively rough sea, Paul, Lazlo, Perry, and Kim were fantastic at all times of the trip. From boarding, to dive briefs, material outfitting, underwater guidance, biology of the species encountered, meals, everything was very organized and on-time for a group of 16 divers. Yes, the reef is far from Townsville but the experience I had was certainly better than on some of the 100s-pagenger boats leaving from more popular locations. And while I didn't not dive 10 times, the opportunity was there making each dive under $100 not counting the live-aboard amenisties and experience. So all in all, if you have only a few days, this is by far the best and cheapest way to dive both the reef and the Yongala. david
