Off the coast of Sydney, Australia, near Terrigal and Avoca Beach on the Central Coast, you’ll find the Ex HMAS Adelaide. Access to the dive site is facilitated by boat from the dive center, making it easy to embark on your underwater adventure.
Its prime location offers easy access for divers from Sydney and nearby areas. With a drive time of approximately 1h30 from Sydney, the Ex HMAS Adelaide is an ideal destination for a day trip or weekend getaway.
Diving this relatively new and well-preserved military shipwreck is a unique privilege. The wheelhouse which houses the captain’s chair is a great spot for a keepsake photo as is the combat information centre (CIC). This area is one deck below and aft of the wheelhouse and easily accessible by a hole that has been cut into the deck in the wheelhouse.
