Diving Sydney's Wrecks

Sydney is home of many diveable shipwrecks, although many of the better ones lie in the 40m or deeper range, requiring training, experience and equipment to safely dive them. Sydney Harbour is said to have some 87 wreck inside the harbour with many more outside. Some of the most noteable include the Valiant and the Birchgrove Park off Palm Beach, the Royal Shephard and the Annie M Miller off the Harbour, the Dee Why, the Bellubera, the Duckenfield, the Myola, the Meggol and the Coolooli, off Long Reef, the Kelloe off Botany Bay, and the Tuggerah and the Undola off the Royal National Park in Sydney’s south (or the Illawarra’s north, depending on how you look at it).

The following descriptions are ordered in (roughly) geographical order from South to North, starting from the Undola and working to the Birchgrove Park (eventually).
