Moreton Bay is the Brisbane
region's offshore playground complete with unique diving experiences. Flinders
Reef has 10 magnificent acres of beautiful coral gardens and majestic drop offs.
There are more varieties of coral in this spot than in any other part of the Great
Barrier Reef. Off Moreton Island
lies Curtin Artificial Reef, one of the largest artificial reefs in the southern
hemisphere. It comprises a number of sunken craft and offers interesting diving.
The waters around Stradbroke Island are littered with shipwrecks including the
Cambus Wallace (1894), the Prosperity (1902), the Lorna Doone
(1888), the Sovereign (1847), the Countess of Derby (1853), and
a mysterious 16th century Spanish galleon in the brackish waters of the eighteen
mile swamp.
