Sydney Harbour is said to have some 87 wreck inside the harbour with many more outside.
Some of the most notable include the Valiant and the Birchgrove Park off Palm Beach, the Royal Shephard and the Annie M Miller off the Harbour, the Dee Why, the Bellubera, the Duckenfield, the Myola, the Meggol and the Coolooli, off Long Reef, the Kelloe off Botany Bay, and the Tuggerah and the Undola off the Royal National Park in Sydney's south
Sydney is home of many diveable shipwrecks, although many of the better ones lie in the 40m or deeper range, requiring training, experience and equipment to safely dive them.

Must be advanced certified. Built in 1878-9 the SS Hilda was a collier that ran between the Newcastle and Illawarra coalfields. The ship went down in 1983 after running aground and stayed in relatively good condition until being blown up for its metal in 1958. Even though the wreck is well broken up, the remains of the Hilda still roughly lie in the shape of a ship, in two separate places. There is a large winch located about ten metres to the north of the engine with part of the hull under it. If conditions make the planned site unsuitable, then another site will be selected for the dive..Transport is not included for this dive, if you require a lift please early. If no lift can be provided the best option is an Uber to and from the site.

All divers need to be experienced in tec diving. The boat will depart from Tonkin street Cronulla. Just behind the cronulla train station
One of the better of the deeper wrecks off Sydney is the SS Kelloe. The Kelloe was a iron hulled collier. On the 13th of May 1902 the Kelloe went down after a collision with the Dunmore. Sitting on a sandy bottom broken by bits of the adjacent edge of the rocky reef, its depth is 48 to 51 metres. The wreck is sitting upright with the bow facing north. The main features of the wreck is the very large boiler and the engine. The boiler rises at least 3 to 4 metres from the bottom and is intact. The hull is opened out and is pretty messy and flat. On the eastern side the hull sits up a metre or two but otherwise, the main part of the wreck is absolutely flat. There is a large hole in the hull just forward of the stern that you can swim through. If conditions make the planned site unsuitable, then another site will be selected for the dive.
