25.01.2022 Happy anniversary.... it’s one year today since ex-HMAS Tobruk was scuttled to create a world class dive experience. Thanks to the hundreds of divers that have already enjoyed her. To the others, what’s stopping you? If you have dived her please share your photos with us.

19.01.2022 Now is time to book that dive.

13.01.2022 I dived on the ex HMAS Tobruk today and for me it was a wonderful experience. I was the captain of the ship in 1991 and 1992 And it was great to see that she i...s still serving the Australian and international public after her years of service in the Royal Australia Navy. I was challenged on occasions to remember the layout, but in the main was reminded of what she looked like when I was in command. The experience was made all the better for the professionalism and support provided by the Harvey Bay Dive centre. Ed, Rachel and Matt all did a fantastic job of firstly making me feel welcome and providing great support and assistance during the dive process. I would highly recommend these guys to anyone who is interested in doing a fantastic wreck dive in Harvey bay. I will post a few photos once I have a chance to download them in a couple of days. Thanks again to the Dive team at Harvey Bay dive centre for a fantastic experience.

06.01.2022 Now's the time to visit dive site ex-HMAS Tobruk. As temperatures drop, visibility is enhanced. The site has proven to be a major tourist drawcard for the Wide Bay region with hundreds of divers exploring the site. It has been one year since the ship was scuttled off the coast of Bundaberg and Hervey Bay and Minister for Environment Leeanne Enoch said the positive feedback has been incredible. The wreck is expected to generate more than $1 million for the local economy annual...ly and support about 20 jobs in the region.
