Specifications:

The RMS Quetta is one of the oldest and best known ship wrecks in Australia. This originally Scottish passenger liner sank the 28th of February 1890, when she struck a coral mount at low tide. More than 130 people died and diving here requires a permit and good planning skills. The huge currents and variable tides make this a very difficult dive. She lies in 6 to 18 meters of water and is home to millions of fish. Cods, trout, angelfish and barracuda are just a few. Parts of the ship are spread out across the ocean floor, but unfortunately many of the artifacts were removed to musea to protect this historic site.
