The SS Tuggerah sunk in 1919, and now rests on its port side at a maximum depth of almost 48 metres off Wattamolla in Royal National Park.
The Tuggerah is ideal for technical divers, and is chock-filled with abundant fish life.
The first thing you will see upon descending is fish. The bullseye, yellowtail, and grouper make it virtually impossible to see the wreckage. Once you have anchored the boat at the bottom of the ocean and secured the dive site, look around. The fish life will be so …
The SS Tuggerah sunk in 1919, and now rests on its port side at a maximum depth of almost 48 metres off Wattamolla in Royal National Park.
The Tuggerah is ideal for technical divers, and is chock-filled with abundant fish life.
The first thing you will see upon descending is fish. The bullseye, yellowtail, and grouper make it virtually impossible to see the wreckage. Once you have anchored the boat at the bottom of the ocean and secured the dive site, look around. The fish life will be so prolific that you will have to be as close as two meters to actually see the boilers. The boilers are almost perfectly intact and often home to very large wobbegong sharks.
Time seems to fly at this depth and there is so much to see, although the visibility is normally quite good, with most dives having visibility of 15 metres or more, it is hard to appreciate what the wreck offers because of the fish life obstructing your view.
