Yongala Wreck, Queensland, Australia

Tragically lost in a cyclone in March 1911 with 122 people onboard, the luxury passenger vessel S.S. Yongala was found decades later and is now one of Queenland’s premier dive sites. She attracts diverse marine life and intermediate-to-advanced divers, who travel to the wreckage from Alva Beach or Townsville.
