CURRAJONG!
Night Dive... Wreck Dive... Sydney Harbour Dive.... Night of Friday the 13th!!!
Folks... We are venturing to dive one of the least visited, and arguably most intact wrecks around Sydney!
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 wealth of history and details of this wreck at Mcfadyen’s website below:
