THE ICONIC S.S. YONGALA WRECK︱GREAT BARRIER REEF︱AUSTRALIA BEST DIVING ︱4K VIDEO

An incredible profusion and diversity of marine life on a single wreck. The density of fish and soft corals alike are simply outstanding, mind-boggling. Not only can this stunning dive fulfill any diver's fantasy but it would also be the ideal representation of what a perfect dive truly is should it be revealed to non divers.The S.S. Yongala is said to be one of the best dives in the world , it is the understatement of the century !

Very kind of you , thank you 🙏

Спасибо большое за интересное вида, желаю вам всего самого наилучшего.

[@UnderwaterJourney]

Very kind of you to say so , thank you very much

[@stonefish1318]

Wow thats a fishsoup! So many individuals and different species in such a density you can find rarely around the world...

[@UnderwaterJourney]

Thanks a lot for watching and for your comment Stonefish13. I totally agree with you. I have never seen so much life on a wreck, neither before nor after. The wreck was covered in schools of colorful fish of all sizes ( e.g the grouper was just huge).I was pissed off at first when we were told that entering the wreck was prohibited but when i realised the sheer number of fish while descending , i knew it was gonna be a spectacular dive nonetheless...and it was ! Stunning dive spot indeed , one of a kind !

[@ronmick1978]

Absolutely stunning! It’s definitely on my bucket list

[@UnderwaterJourney]

Thank you very much Ron , very kind of you . Oh yes , it should be on your bucket list . The marine life on the wreck is just incredible , the richest i have ever seen on a wreck . It is not for the faint hearted though as the ride can be quite rough. Almost half of the participants turned green that day 🤣. Another positive aspect is that it is not a crowded spot , so excellent experience .

Another lovely video, thanks for sharing. Love these living wrecks but not dived there. Beautiful images again.

[@UnderwaterJourney]

Hello Michael , i just came back from the P29 wreck ( bad viz today) . Thank you again for your great comments. The Yongala is truly an amazing wreck , not exactly for the structure itself but for the incredible life on it . Rough ride but worth it . Thanks Michael

[@UnderwaterJourney]

Hi Michael , i came acroos this link today : www.nationalgeographic.org/projects/pristine-seas/ .Real nice , it thought it might be of interest . Cheers

[@michaelmuir4548]

@@UnderwaterJourney thanks so much for sharing Yann. What a great site. There is loads of information there but I couldn't resist opening up my laptop to see on a big screen and looking at each of the places around the globe. The videos and still shots as expected from National Geographic are just incredible . Some of the places I have never heard of but they have wonderful underwater life. What great work they have done and continue to do with the marine reserves and protected areas. Thank you.

[@UnderwaterJourney]

@@michaelmuir4548 My pleasure Michael . Take care !

[@celblau5336]

Excellent editing, the music on point does not interfere and the volume is nice, the camera angles are fabulous, I did not know that there was that wreck, the S.S Yongala, good job!

[@UnderwaterJourney]

Hello Underwater Marvels . My sincere appreciation for your kind words . It is indeed an incredible dive spot in the middle of nowhere . What is said about this site is true , the density of life is amazing . Thanks again .

[@jacobbusk6507]

[@tunabank]

Yeah~! Yongala is real one! I love this :)

[@UnderwaterJourney]

Thank you very much for watching . Yongala is an awesome wreck indeed

[@jmheket]

Beautiful video... the geek in me would love to know what it was shot with..??

[@UnderwaterJourney]

Thank you so much for watching . The geek in you deserves an answer 😂 . Sony AX 100 + Gates housing and Keldan lights.

[@czele123]

❤️ it. Beautiful dive site, perfect video. Was this filmed recently ?

[@UnderwaterJourney]

Hi Radek , Thank you very much , yes it is a fantastic dive which I did a bit over a month ago . Cheers !

[@czele123]

Yann Faure Hi Yann, great to see such lively site .Last time we emailed i was considering trip to Philippines but we decided to visit Komodo instead. Beautiful place as well. I made short video, have a look if you like. Cheers! kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5mwZJavopuZnKc

[@BlueHorizonDiving]

Yongala is such a beautiful wreck and looks like you got so lucky with the currents too

[@UnderwaterJourney]

Agreed ! One of the most amazing wrecks in the world . The currents were actually mild on that day compared to the ones i had experienced on Wolf's rock a few days before. Two dives were unfortunately not enough to fully explore this fantastic wreck and its area. Would love so much to dive it again .Thanks for watching ! 😀

[@BlueHorizonDiving]

@@UnderwaterJourney Oh yeah. We only did two dives on the wreck but had wicked currents on it and most o the divers bailed on the dives. Was worth it when got down

[@UnderwaterJourney]

@@BlueHorizonDiving Currrents were ok but the ride was rough , 5 ouf 11 divers were sick in between dives or on the way back. This dive is not for the faint hearted.

[@BlueHorizonDiving]

@@UnderwaterJourney not at all!

[@billmcmango4229]

Wonderful footage, a bit overly dramatic and distracting music choice imo

[@UnderwaterJourney]

Thanks a lot for watching Bill , i appreciate your comment and your straightforwardness ! I guess i got carried away because the story of this wreck is truly dramatic but i might have overdone it , you're right . Thanks again

[@billmcmango4229]

Thanks for uploading. Yes, the Yongala is a very dramatic and tragic story.
