Has anyone dove the Yongala wreck in Townsville, Qld, Australia? I'm looking at doing it in June, and would like to know whether it's a worthwhile dive. I understand that you can't go inside the wreck...

One of the best dives anywhere. You won't regret it if you go. No penetration but there isn't much to penetrate anyway.
When you dove the site how were the conditions both of the wreck field and water? I have only seen photos and read a few trip reports. Thx.
One of the best dives in the world. It is absolutely covered in corals, and the fish life will blow you away. Swimming through a school of Napoleon Wrasse while being nose to nose with sea snakes, ah the memories. Still one of my top dives ever.
I highly recommend Yongala Dive, these guys are a fantastic operation.

Do you think it's as good as the Great Barrier Reef or the kelp forests of Tasmania? It's just that I'm trying to persuade my buddy to come with me, who thinks that the fact that we can't penetrate the wreck means that it'll be an average dive.
