The Commonwealth Ships Graveyard #3 is located 7km east of Torquay through to Pt. Lonsdale. Many of these vessels were stripped down and scuttled by an explosive charge or an opened valve cock, and many remain fairly intact to this day. These vessels were decommissioned from the early 1900’s through to 1999 and range in depth from 30m to 82m. However not all was scuttled, many were overtaken by the adverse conditions that Bass Strait is infamous for. Penetration can be had on some wrecks, and there is little tidal current or shipping to be concerned with so wrecks can be dived at any time of the day. The main constraints are wind strength and the size of the swell. There are 39 Wrecks to choose from and consist of tugs, dredges, barges, lighters, coastal freighters, subs, a paddle steamer plus a patrol boat.

This site is dedicated to promoting the adventure of diving the wrecks and reefs of Torquay and to allow divers the opportunity to do the wide variety of diving as offered by Scuttlebutt Scuba Charters.

So, enjoy looking around. We can supply quality equipment or supplies for any diver at a very competative price. See what we offer, check out the wrecks & reefs we do, see what course best suits your needs, and book in to the next dive.
