Research
 

The URGQ has lead and participated in numerous diving activities which promote the conservation, preservation and understanding of the marine environment. Members have been involved with historical research and have discovered many of the major shipwrecks in SE Queensland including the Scottish Prince, Cambus Wallace, Aarhus, St Paul, Yongala - to name some of the more well-known historical shipwrecks.

URGQ projects have included a survey coral, sand and reef for the Marine Park Authority at Flinders Reef in Moreton Bay and a resource mapping project at Flinder's Reef, Moreton Bay Marine Park. The URGQ are currently involved in the on-going monitoring of the Curtin Artificial Reef that has been constructed by URGQ members.
