I really liked your Video! Great Job! I select for underwater article about the Yongala Wreck and Scuba Diving in Townsville divezone.net/townsville.htm I hope you will like it!

[titan709]

as soon as im in my last year of school im going traveling and im definitely going to dive there

[IMRicksta]

Wow this video was so beautiful ty for posting. I really want to go see the best dive site in the world and get into scuba diving. When I get enough money I'll bring my parents and sister to dive Yongala because it looks so pretty and has loads of marine life. Thanks again

0100101lol- As an Open Water Diver you are able to dive the S.S Yongala if you have more then 6 dives under your belt, at least one dive to the 18m mark and confidence in your diving abilities. As the wreck sits in 19-28m of water you will need to complete a Deep Adventure Dive with us on your first dive or deep dive training elsewhere prior to diving with us. You will see the wreck in both dives, and as to it being 'worth it', it definately is.

Vodskibandit- No 'VW' is not aggressive towards humans, he does his thing and we do ours. As we have a 'no touch' policy we give him no reason to think that we would harm him. As to the Bull Sharks, the ocean is thier home so obviously they are out there but once again they tend to stay out of our way as we stay out of thiers! It is unbelievable diving so now you know VW and bull sharks aren't an issue you can come out diving with us!

[Vodskibandit]

Absolutely unreal amount of marine life - all of a pretty big nature! I can't get over the size of that 'VW' grouper against the hawksbil, it must be ancient, like some kind of prehistoric monster - is it aggressive toward humans being that massive? And is it safe with those bullsharks around? Those would be my two concerns.. otherwise it looks almost unbelievable diving

[jrscarsbrook]

This video brings back fond memories ... Their is so much to see that I am going to go back for a second helping!!

This video is beautiful - Thank you

[olaw93]

doing it in april if the sight is good enough! soooo stoked after watching this!!!

[ScreamingBlueFilms]

Hi-

I am doing the Yongala in a few days... What camera did you use to film? Did you use an underwater light?

cheers

[andaismfashionista]

Hi there, could you email me the video of this beautiful work? 

[MultiQueenOfPop]

love this vid,thnx a bunch 4 uploading this

[yongaladive]

Thanks for all the great comments guys. I myself have done thousands of dives and never seen fish life like this anywhere !!! The wreck itself is in about 29metres of water at the bottom and 15m at the top and amazingly the coral is still very colourful.

@yongaladive

This seems like fun. How would I get into diving?

[Mcstooger]

@brightlights456X Look up Remote area Dive ( RAD) in townsville, the best guys around just finished my advanced course with them tons of fun

[brightlights456X]

@Mcstooger

Can you take me?

[crc1126]

I did this dive way back in 1988. Saw almost everything in video except mantas and whale shark (seasonal). Did see lionfish, banded sea snakes,etc.....

[pcdana24]

@crc1126

I did it in 1987 took some huge pics with my nikonos 4a with a 15mm lens. Best dive of my life bar none. I have some pics of a sleeping nurse shark under the hull plus 3 huge mottled rays at night one of which is on my face book page. joe hughes.

2 people don't like fish

Good video, I keep worrying what will happen to it if things like what happend in

the gulf of mexico keep popping up.

[Billups97]

The ocean is really the final frontier on the earth, so much still unknown, keep up the good work.

I'm trying to get my girlfriend to go diving, but she's really afraid of sea life.. I've done it twice and it's simply an amazing experience...Look forward to doing it again,,,

[kmpa13]

amazing. how deep is it? i'd love to dive there

[shootsthingsdotcom]

@kmpa13 If i remember correctly its can be upto 40m at the sea bed so you need to be comfortable in the mid 20s to really enjoy it. I think it can have strong currents as my second dive was basically a drift dive. But you won't manage to notice anything else but the eco system as its the most condensed and compact, yet beautifully calm dives you will ever have. I came off 6 months marine conservation in the Seychelles when I did 2 dives on the wreck and its by far the most amazing dive ever.

[pcdana24]

@shootsthingsdotcom

The top of the wreck is 60 feet from the surface and 90 to the bottom. Piece of cake dive and I did my first dive at night when we hooked up and broke the 2 inch hauser line off the mike ball super sport. I was all over it in 5 foot seas at night with my camera and got a huge pic of a mottled ray. They had the Jesus line with a strobe out for the newbies.

[pcdana24]

@kmpa13

deep 60 feet to the starboard side 90 feet to the bottom.

"when i was, a young boy, my father, took me into the city, to see a marching band..."

[Raindarsus]

Great video, I especially love the music

[Raindarsus]

Man at 4:36 the shark looks like a futuristic submarine.

[youracuntfuckingtwat]

[vrodshewchuk]

Great video looks like a phenominal dive

[arthurkhoo82]

[Lauriewriter]

This is a wonderful addition to my Ocean Life playlist!

Laurie:-)

[TheDarkSinner11]

this is a wonderful video the sea is a beautiful sight when ur inside looking around at the amazing creature that are around you

[shamidiver]

awesome , been looking forward to diving this for 4 years ,only 4 months to go

[ministig]

Simply brilliant!

[Noz888able]

Nothing short of amazing! Great Video. I can't wait to return to OZ to dive this beauty!

[allandonnelly]

I can only echo the sentiments of the other posters who have been lucky enough to dive the Yongala. It's the most incredible dive I have ever done in my life. The sheer variety of species is mindblowing. You seem to spend the entire dive going from one "Wow" moment to the next. If you haven't dove the Yongala yet, put it at the TOP of your list.

[jotafl]

now, thats diving, wish had mo money so i too could enjoy that beauty. txs for sharing...

[MarineLifeActivist22]

WOW! That loooks amazing!

[aussiechelc]

after watching this video i just gotta go back again. its magic.australias titanic but with alot more fish

[nasafakedit]

aussiechelc = Stew179 who is sick in his retarded head

This creep is mentally Insane

[aussiechelc]

dove there last year with a girlfriend,had 2 dives and it was awsome,i want to do nitrox course so i can stay down longer. aia didnt want to come back up. The marine life was incredable. I have dove,norfolk island/fiji/phi phi islands and about 8 others in thailand/the brisbane wreck/lady elliot/musgrave/green island/fitzroy reef/and this dive is without doubt the best.

[Wootdiver]

I had 2 dives on this wreck in 2007. Its the best dive spot I ever did, its just wonderful!!

[YenzAuto]

Had three dives on this wreck in 1997 - to this date the greatest dive experience of my life. The video is great except I could do without the muzak :-D

[mistylatex]

I was there last Nov, and let me tell you... video doesn't not do Yongala justice! The abundance of life and colour would just blow your mind. I have dive at carins, townsville, airlie/whitsunday in australia, YONGALA is the that takes that CAKE!

We saw V W from afar (strong current could get any closer...)

Also saw 3 huge rays, 4 turtles, a sea snake, courtless countless fishes...

[GrahamGspot]

That is the most amazing video iv ever seen, Holy fuck. Hump back whales. If I lived there id install a decompression chamber in my house and dive 24/7

[jennapaa]

wow great video :) i would absolutely love to dive there soon and may i ask...what is the track that you have playing in the background...i can't stop playing it! cheers

[smashboy94]

my great grand father was the first one to find the sunken ship his name was william james kirkpatrick

[ScubaVideoServices]

Better with some good tune! Where did you find that?

[IDCS96982]

Amazing life on this wreck! I've been diving for a while and never got to see so much! I'm preparing my raft, will be there in December if the wind is with me!! Lol

Maybe be could edit with 1280x720 format, it would look great!

[smdvs]

Great video people! Might have to learn to dive and take a trip out with you one day. Ever come across that guy in the yellow kayak??
