Sydney Harbour is said to have some 87 wreck inside the harbour with many more outside.
Some of the most notable include the Valiant and the Birchgrove Park off Palm Beach, the Royal Shephard and the Annie M Miller off the Harbour, the Dee Why, the Bellubera, the Duckenfield, the Myola, the Meggol and the Coolooli, off Long Reef, the Kelloe off Botany Bay, and the Tuggerah and the Undola off the Royal National Park in Sydney's south
Sydney is home of many diveable shipwrecks, although many of the better ones lie in the 40m or deeper range, requiring training, experience and equipment to safely dive them.
The tugarah sits in 45m of the Royal National Park on Sydney's south. It always has a lot of fish life. You need to be tec certified with a redundant air source for this one. It is NOT DM led. All divers need to be experienced in tec diving. The boat will depart from Tonkin street Cronulla. Just behind the cronulla train station
Must be advanced certified. Built in 1878-9 the SS Hilda was a collier that ran between the Newcastle and Illawarra coalfields. The ship went down in 1983 after running aground and stayed in relatively good condition until being blown up for its metal in 1958. Even though the wreck is well broken up, the remains of the Hilda still roughly lie in the shape of a ship, in two separate places. There is a large winch located about ten metres to the north of the engine with part of the hull under it. If conditions make the planned site unsuitable, then another site will be selected for the dive..Transport is not included for this dive, if you require a lift please early. If no lift can be provided the best option is an Uber to and from the site.
MUST BE ADVANCED CERTIFIED> Dive the wreck of the Bombo in 30m. In 1949 the collier Bombo carrying 650 tones of Blue Metal disappeared off the coast of Wollongong. The Captain ordered her return to Kembla harbour as the blue metal was shifting in her number-one hold. A combination of this and rough seas caused her to capsize without a trace for more then 30 years. Unfortunately, there were only two survivors. The Bombo now lays upside down and broken in half at a depth of 30 metres just outside Wollongong harbour. She is a perfect artificial reef, home to thousands of fish with several swim throughs of interest.
