SS Coogee, wreck

★★★★☆ (62)

The Coogee shipwreck lies about 4 km offshore between Point Lonsdale and Barwon Heads on a flat limestone and sand seabed. Facing north toward shore, the bow rests at 33 m and the stern at 35 m. The bow and stern remain intact, while much of the midships section is flattened or missing.

The Coogee is a striking wreck with yellow zoanthids, loved by photographers. It offers areas to explore, abundant fish life, and key features at the bow, boilers and stern.
