My diving instructor at the Great Barrier Reef had indicated that, as an “advanced” open water diver, I was now able to dive the Dongala wreck, one of the top ten wreck dives in the world. Only trouble: I had already passed the site, and going diving there would mean backtracking some five hours… So I decided against it. Until I found out that in order to go to my next destination (Alice Springs in the Red Centre), I would have to backtrack anyhow. Yes! Done deal, on the bus I hopped and a couple of days later, I was sitting on a large Zodiac, being shaken thoroughly by a (still) rather rough sea. An hour of full speed waveriding later, our small group of divers (only 12 people) tumbled in the water to explore the Yongala wreck. Despite visibility not being completely tops, it was a beautiful dive, with as highlight a (highly venomous) olive sea snake swimming up to me…
