FORMER HMAS ADELAIDE DIVE SITE MAKES WAVES

After years of uproar over its sinking off the Central Coast, the former HMAS Adelaide is making waves as a dive site.

  1. Could someone pass me that guy’s hat, I might need it… this dive site brings money to a just few people. The proponents of the scheme, namely. Dive schools, dive boat operators. It salves the ego of Central Coast Tourism.

    What an absolute waste of money.

    Even if 10,000 people dived on it every month, the risk to a beautiful, irreplaceable natural beach would not be worth it.

  2. The 700 that took the plunge last month must be swimming under water from the haven,possibly at night. The seas have been huge for the last three weeks until three days ago.Today the seas were calm and no divers were on the site this afternoon.Maybe they could not find the location as the bouys keep breaking away.I thought I saw one in the haven! maybe I was dreaming, like those that believe it will be a great tourist attraction. Keep the spin up it made the local headlines today.
