Are Warships, Ships Wrecks, Tanks, Aeroplanes and even cars are your passion?
Sunken warships are not that unique because an act of war or weather; they are in random locations around the world.
But in most cases, warships are sunk too deep for any diver to visit. That’s not the case in Victoria, Australia. We already have ships and submarines, plus numerous other wrecks which were deliberately scuttled in-depth accessible to both recreational and technical scuba divers.
Maybe Artificial reefs are your passion?
There are numerous other wrecks, some dating back to the 1800s. Plus we have the ships graveyard, just off Port Phillip Bay, in the Bass Strait. These wreck dive sites are all teeming with marine life.
