Amazing! The Yongala Dive crew are highly organised and very professional. We landed in Townsville, picked up a car and drove to Alva Beach (near Ayr) to the Dive Shop and accommodation. A relaxing drive about an hour and a half from Townsville airport (we saw an abundance of wildlife including a turtle on the road down). We arrived and... More

perfect clear water with amazing visibility and a lot of interesting things to see. The water is pleasantly warm. More

Great day out on the boat... More

Unfortunately, we were on a tight schedule and were not able to schedule our dive ahead of time, so we could not dive the Yongala this time. =( However, one of the staff made a suggestion for where we should dive on the Great Barrier Reef and called/booked our overnight dive trip for us! That is great service. I cannot... More
