Hervey Bay
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.
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. The highlight? A 100m swim through the ship’s open stern and vast tank deck. Guided by our expert dive team, you’ll have plenty of time to capture photos and marvel at the scale of this submerged wonder.
Departure Time: Varies according to tide times

Due to the open-style design and speed which we travel, it is very rare for guests to experience sea sickness on board. The most common time for passengers to ever feel nauseous on the water would be when the vessel has stopped. We welcome anyone that is prone or worried about seasickness to take any necessary medication prior to travelling.
Wipe Out has a marine toilet on board. These are not to be used whilst the boat is in motion and special care must be taken regarding use. The crew will include instructions in the tour briefing.
You can bring your own lunch, snacks and water. The vessel is limited on space, so please be conscious of bringing a small bag only. We are a licensed vessel so no BYO for alcoholic drinks.
Yes, small cameras to capture special moments is welcomed. Although we do have dry boxes under the seats designed to keep your belongings safe, all electrical and personal belongings are brought at your own risk and is no responsibility of K’Gari Salty Safaris if these items are lost or damaged during the day.
