Does the club dive the exHMAS Hobart?
Yes, we do. The exHMAS Hobart is subject to strong tidal currents, so generally we only dive the wreck when there is minimal tidal movement – i.e. near or during a ‘dodge’ tide event. We add any ‘good’ days for diving the ex HMAS Hobart to the club calendar that fall on a Saturday or Sunday. Sometimes, there may only be a few weekends per year when the tide is ‘right’ to dive the wreck. The exHMAS Hobart is in 30M of water, but for those who are less qualified/experienced, the deck is at around 15M, and there is still plenty to see at that the deck level. We launch from Wirrina boat ramp, which is about 1 hr 15 min drive from the club rooms. It’s around 8KM out to the dive site from shore, so on a calm day it will only be around a 20 min boat ride to the site. We usually do a double dive, and each diver will require a SCUBA cylinder (tank) per dive. Each diver is also required to have a safety sausage. The cost is as per our pricing page (double dive) plus a $5 towing/SDFSA buoy levy p
