About HMAS Perth II
HMAS Perth II is Albany's signature boat wreck, a scuttled warship with a fixed mooring and an open-water-friendly upper structure. The wreck now carries coral and sponge growth and draws sharks, snapper, nudibranchs, and other reef fish across the hull. Plan on a local boat operator, moderate visibility, and conditions that are usually easier in the calmer winter months.
