Introduction
Uncover the enchantment that lies beneath the waves of Moreton Island, the place they call home to the world-renowned Tangalooma Wrecks. We’re talking Australia’s largest artificial reef system, with a whopping 15 shipwrecks deliberately sunk just offshore. The conditions are ideal, the water’s a gorgeous shade of blue, the sea is calm enough you can even sneak in a few tranquil moments, and the marine ecosystem is thriving. It doesn’t matter if this is your very first time diving or you’re an experienced diver chasing the next big thrill, you can bet that this will give you a tour of colour & diversity that will leave a lasting impression from start to finish.
