The last week, well sorry we haven't been adding any blogs recently, however it has been a mixture of either low internet or no internet!! The last week has again been very adventurous and we have dived the Yongala and have visited Cape Tribulation which was amazing (the oldest rainforest in the world!) So although we haven't been able to get on the net, it hasn't stopped us writing blogs, so here is one from the YongalaWell it's my turn to write the blog (Pete) so here goes. Today we had an early start from Ayr to dive the Yongala. As Louise has said it is a passenger liner which sank in 1913 along with all the crew and passengers including a race horse called Moonshine. No one is sure how it sank but it was very sudden as no distress call was sent and no life boats deployed !! The only body to wash up was that of Moonshine, the rest perished in the wreck. To dive the Yongala we had to upgrade our Open Water PADI qualification to a Deep and wreck dive certificate so we were both really looking forward to this. After the obligatory paper work we headed out by speed boat to the dive site about 35mins from shore. There were only 10 of us with 3 guides so good diving was expected. Surprisingly when we arrived we were the only dive boat apart from a private catamaran. There were 5 of us on the first dive and as we entered the water the current could be felt quite strongly. We all followed a guide line down to the wreck at a total depth of 29 metres. As the ship came into view we realised why this is one of the top 10 dives in the world. The marine life is astonishing !! We saw angels, moray eels, groupers, clown fish, shoals of barracuda, and turtles the size of dustbin lids. The variety of fish was amazing as well as the size, we saw a Queensland Grouper cruising below us which must have been 5 feet long. The whole wreck was a cleaning station for the abundant fish so there was hundreds of species in such a small area, quite stunning to watch. As we are both quite experienced divers our air lasted longer than the others so as other divers were resurfacing we carried on with our guide for another tour of the ship. Although divers are now banned from entering the ship you can still see inside the hull and make out the bath tubs, toilets and light fittings which once graced this liner. It was a bit spooky knowing the bones of the passengers were still buried in the vessel ( a dive crew collected them and placed them under the bow of the boat ) All in all it was an amazing dive and we now qualify to dive to 30 metres and do wreck diving.
