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.

Max Depth: 78 Mtrs Average Depth: 75 Mtrs
Average Viz: 10 Mtrs Lives Lost: 0
Construction: Iron Sank In: 1920

The ship sank during rough weather in 1920 when it sprang a leak on it way from Sydney Harbour, Dawes Point . The wreck was only discovered a few years ago, and lays close to the wreck of the HMAS Encounter.

The wreck is broken up but the boilers, engine and paddels are still the dominant feature, and makes for a great photography. There is a lot of Brass on the wreck, probably due to the depth and limited time for people to take anything. Of course the wreck is protected under the Martime Heritage act.

Divers have to be carefull when diving around this wreck, as there is a lot of loose cables from previous bouy lines that the fishos keep on cutting.
