Alva Beach SS Yongala Private Dive Charter
Alva Beach SS Yongala Private Dive Charter
1 Days • Daily
Dive with Yongala Dive
Book the Yongala Dive boat for your own group and head out from Alva Beach to the SS Yongala, the 109-metre passenger steamer that sank off North Queensland in 1911. A private charter lets the trip be planned around your group, and the boat can also work as a platform for film crews and research teams.
With the wreck to yourselves, the dives can follow your interests: time on the bow with the Queensland groper, slow passes along the coral-covered hull looking for moray eels and sea snakes, or hanging off the wreck to watch rays glide over the sand at 28 metres. For photographers and filmmakers, it means fewer divers in frame and dives planned around the shot.
