Best Scuba Diving Destinations

Yongala, Australia

Australia is known for its Great Barrier Reef, but the Yongala dive takes is perhaps an even better experience. In 1911, the S.S. Yongala sank in a cyclone off the coast one day before the famous sinking of the Titanic, but wasn’t discovered for almost fifty years after the initial shipwreck. Thankfully, the shipwreck was finally discovered in 1958, leading to a legacy of some of the best dives in the Great Barrier Reef. It is known to be one of the best adventure dive trips individuals can experience anywhere in the world and is the nation’s most intact historic shipwreck, allowing divers to get up close and personal with all the mega marine life Australia’s Great Barrier Reef has to offer. They even offer accommodations on-site for anyone who wants to make a few dives on their trip to this historic destination. The wildlife offered in the area includes sea turtles and eagle rays, as well as some beautiful sea snakes. When travelers get lucky, they might even be able to view a bull shark swimming by.
