Wreck of the Marietta Dal and Smith Rock Dive Trip

Wreck of the Marietta Dal and Smith Rock Dive Trip

Marietta Dal Shipwreck Dive into history at the incredible Marietta Dal shipwreck! This mighty 7,500-ton Liberty ship, built in the USA in 1944, now rests as one of Brisbane’s most fascinating underwater playgrounds. On May 15, 1950, while loaded with sulphur, oil, tractors and general cargo, the 140-metre vessel struck Smith Rock and eventually split in two — creating an unforgettable dive site. Today, the wreck lies scattered between 10–18 metres, bursting with character and marine life. You’ll weave through twisted steel plates, beams, and the long prop shaft — but the real show-stoppers are the tractors on the seafloor, looking like mini underwater tanks! Add in caves, ledges, and gutters teeming with fish, and you’ve got a dive that’s as thrilling as it is unique. Smith’s Rock Smith’s Rock is pure adventure! Three dramatic granite pinnacles rise to just 6 metres below the surface — rugged, mysterious, and buzzing with life. With a maximum depth around 20 metres and plenty to explore at about 15 metres, every turn reveals something new. Expect schools of batfish and butter bream swirling around you, along with colourful reef residents like cod, angelfish, beaked coralfish, clownfish, and damsels. If you’re into the big stuff, keep an eye out for wobbegong sharks, turtles, and spotted rays cruising by. And during whale season, you might even dive to the haunting soundtrack of distant whale song — magic! Between dives, relax on board with light snacks and refreshments, soaking up the sea air and swapping dive stories before heading back in for round two.
