FIRST IMPRESSIONS

An ex HMAS Brisbane Dive will captivate from the very first moments. As you approach the forward gun of the ex HMAS Brisbane wreck, clownfish dash from their colourful, cascading anemones to greet Scuba World’s excited divers; blue and green wrasse also join the celebration in a colourful display. Watch Out! Copious octopus eyes watch your every move; scorpion fish smoothly disguise themselves in the all-encompassing coral growth concealing every inch of the mighty warship. Can you uncover their magnificent camouflage abilities?

EXPLORING THE WRECK

Dive ex HMAS Brisbane and venture inside to find majestic lion fish and puffers graciously moving with the gentle flow of the ocean. Massive schools of shiny bait fish part way as you swim through the spacious, awe inspiring sanctum that is the engine and boiler room of the ex HMAS Brisbane. Will you jump with fright coming face to face with one of the many, massive, mysterious Queensland Groupers within the ex HMAS Brisbane wreck?

SO MUCH TO SEE

Scuba diving ex HMAS Brisbane is an endless  adventure. The sandy sea floor is home to flathead, hermit crabs, the occasional lazy leopard shark or shovel nose ray and spectacular soaring bull rays. As you begin your graceful ascent to the warm rays of the surface, pelagic fish keep guard and batfish crowd around for the opportunity to play in your massaging bubbles.
