TSS Currajong Night Dive
Details
Event information
What do you get when you combine a Sydney Harbour Boat Dive, a Night Dive, and a Wreck Dive?? You get one hell of an awesome dive that’s what.
The TSS CURRAJONG!
That’s right folks, we are venturing back to dive one of the least visited, most intact wrecks in NSW. At night! The TSS Currajong, a nearly 70 meter long ship that has been sitting at the bottom of Sydney Harbour for over 100 years. This collier ship sits at a max depth of 27 meters and lays under one of Sydney’s busiest ferry paths (which is why we are diving this monster at 1am)!
A full history and details of this wreck are available at Mcfadyen’s website below:
