Wreck Dive on the HMAS Brisbane
Immerse Yourself in Australia's best Military Wreck Dive! Suitable for all levels of certified divers! The HMAS Brisbane was a Perth-class guided-missile destroyer that served in the Royal Australian Navy from 1967 to 2001. She was decommissioned and sunk as an artificial reef in 2005. Today, the HMAS Brisbane is a popular diving destination, offering divers a unique opportunity to explore a piece of Australian naval history. The HMAS Brisbane is located in 27 meters of water just 15 minutes off the coast of Mooloolaba on the Sunshine Coast. The wreck is in good condition and is home to a variety of marine life including large schools of fish, trevally and bait fish, along with resident bull and eagle rays, large Queensland grouper, crayfish, and octopus. Sunreef Mooloolaba's experienced crew will take you out to the wreck and provide you with all the equipment and training you need to have a safe and enjoyable dive. Water temperature ranges from 18 degrees in winter to 27 degrees in summer and visibility from 10 metres to 30 metres.

Australia's First Swim with Humpback Whale Encounters
The opportunity to swim with a Humpback Whale is a rare and very special one, and Sunreef Mooloolaba was Australias first operator to offer the experience, launching in 2014. It's a very special breathtaking experience that will leave you with a true sense of wonder about these amazing mammals. The experienced Sunreef crew will find and trail along at a safe distance from the whales to allow them to get used to the sound of the engines. Then, after assessing the whales' behaviour, they will move ahead of the whales. If conditions are right, they will then put the boat into neutral and allow guests to slide into the water with a Sunreef guides. Then its up to the whales - its a natural experience and 100 per cent on the whales own terms. They seem as intrigued by people as people are of them and often swim over and around for a closer look, gliding gently and effortlessly around you. Operates from July to October each year. Please check with Sunreef for dates and more information.
