Have any of you dived the Yongala off North Queensland?
Its in only 18-30 metres but cos its in the middle of nowhere its absolutely chock-full of marine life and absolutely brimming with healthy soft corals.
Never fails to please with turtles, sharks, manta rays, sea snakes, giant morays, huuuuuge cod, barracuda, and schools of fish I don't even recognise!!
Oh and the wreck is in pretty good condition - only shame is that it cannot be penetrated because it is a World Heritage Protected site.
Regardless, it is still the best dive I have ever done!
If any of you plan on going to the Great Barrier Reef or Coral Sea anytime, it is definitely worth the trip to Townsville to do the Yongala!
