Tangalooma Wrecks
Moreton Island, QLD
About Tangalooma Wrecks
The Tangalooma Wrecks are 15 small steel and timber vessels - barges, dredges and pontoons - sunk between 1963 and 1984 to create a sheltered breakwater for small craft on the western (bay-side) shore of Moreton Island. The wrecks lie in 2 to 10 metres of water just off the Tangalooma Resort beach and can be entered from shore on calm days. Decades of sponge, soft coral and schooling-fish growth have turned the breakwater into one of the most fish-dense shore dives in QLD. Conditions are usually benign on the protected bay side, but visibility varies with tide and wind direction.
Visibility at Tangalooma Wrecks
Visibility at Tangalooma Wrecks typically ranges from 5 to 15 metres, though it shifts with swell, wind and recent rainfall. Year-round; clearest water April to October generally offers the best conditions for diving here.
