Double Boat Dive

There are toilets and a shower on board the boat.  

The Centurion is the wreck of a barque in Sydney Harbour that makes an interesting and easy dive for divers of all levels.

Lying in just 18m, the Centurion lies just off Quarantine Point on Sydney's North Head. The Centurion was wrecked on 16 January 1887, not long after having set sail for Hawaii, loaded up with a cargo of coal.

Today the wreck consists of mostly scattered wreckage on a rocky/sandy bottom. There are some notable features, and you can take your time looking about the wreckage, especially given the relatively shallow depths of the wreck. The site has a large plaque marking it as a site of historical significance (the wreck is 130 years old), with guidelines on responsible diving and anchoring. Fish life can be quite good, and there are usually one or two big wobbegong sharks on this site.

The wreck now lays in 19 m of water. It is quite spread apart but usually there is quite a significant amount of fish life.

The Royal Shepherd is located just outside Sydney Heads and is usually done with a Rose Bay Pick up. There is not much left of it - basically you will see the boiler, engine, driveshaft and propeller, all easily seen in one dive. In its day it was 42m long and 6m wide, but sunk on the evening of the 14th of July 1890. it now lays in 27m of water. Some times there is a lot of fish life and other times not much at all.
