About This Dive Spot

The Cementco Wreck is a 67-meter-long hopper barge that was utilized in Moreton Bay, Brisbane, primarily for transporting fossilized coral for cement production. In 1985, the vessel was intended to be scuttled off Moreton Island to create an artificial reef but sank unexpectedly in rough weather, coming to rest upside down at a depth of 25 meters. This site serves as an artificial reef, attracting various marine life and providing a unique diving experience.
