{"product_id":"queensland-ss-yongala-wreck-dive-day-trip","title":"Queensland SS Yongala Wreck Dive Day Trip","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis day trip from Alva Beach, near Ayr in North Queensland, takes you to the SS Yongala, a passenger steamer that sank in a cyclone on 23 March 1911 and now lies 12 nautical miles offshore. After check-in at the dive shop the boat launches straight off the beach, and about 30 minutes later you're tied onto the mooring above the wreck for two guided dives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Yongala is 109 metres long and lies on its starboard side, with the top of the hull at 14 metres and the sand at 28 metres. Drop down the line and the hull appears as a wall of coral with fish packed around it. Queensland groper hang near the bow, Maori wrasse and giant trevally patrol the length of the ship, and chevron barracuda hold in the blue above. Look down to the sand for marble rays and eagle rays, and keep an eye out for turtles and sea snakes working along the hull.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrip Highlights\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 guided dives on the SS Yongala, a 109 m wreck at 14 to 28 m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWreck sank in a cyclone in 1911 and lay undiscovered until 1958\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQueensland groper, Maori wrasse, giant trevally and chevron barracuda\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarble rays, eagle rays, turtles, sea snakes and bull sharks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall groups: maximum 12 divers a day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbout 30 minutes by boat from Alva Beach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Yongala Dive","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68039292191087,"sku":null,"price":409.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/1737\/1247\/files\/41642403_10156612366482114_5146808517960663040_n.jpg?v=1794205808","url":"https:\/\/divebookings.com\/products\/queensland-ss-yongala-wreck-dive-day-trip","provider":"Dive Bookings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
