Sydney Project divers passion for exploration and going where no one been before inspires the group to find new wrecks and bring them back to life. The following database is for wrecks we have found, dived, or currently searching for. Once rust is in your blood, there is just something about diving wrecks that is hard to describe. The chance of a new discovery, the history and circumstances behind the loss of a vessel and in some cases the tragic loss of life. Visiting a ship for the first time since it went down, is a special feeling and a rare privilege that will always drive us to find new wrecks.
