Description

About your day with K’gari Salty Safaris

The Ex-HMAS Tobruk, a colossal underwater playground and world-class dive site, awaits off the stunning Fraser Coast. Located 25 nautical miles NNE of Hervey Bay, this sunken behemoth rests in 30 meters of water. The ship, tilted dramatically on its side, offers divers a thrilling journey through its eight-level labyrinth. From the sunlit shallows at 11 meters to the mysterious depths of 30 meters, every level reveals a new underwater wonder.

Trip Overview

Mooring midship, you’ll explore the full length of this underwater giant over two dives, timed with gentle neap tides for optimal conditions. Visibility ranges from 8m to 20m, peaking in winter.
