Review:

Located just off the shore of the protected sand island of Moreton Island, the Tangalooma Wrecks are comprised of a cluster of 15 sunken boats that were scuttled by the Queensland Government between 1963 and 1984. The ships were destroyed to provide a spot for the residents of Moreton Bay to anchor their boats and offer an outstanding snorkeling and scuba-diving experience. The shipwrecks can be reached by walking or riding a beach bike along the beach from the Tangalooma Island Resort and then a short swim from the shore. The wrecks now have coral growing on them and are home to a variety of marine life ranging from over 100 species of fish, dugongs, dolphins, and wobbegongs.
