Even once you have seen all the beauty of Moreton Island, its sandy
beaches and its blue waters, you still haven't experienced it all. Below the
surface is another world. The reefs and waters around the island are home
to many species of fish and marine life.
Flinders Reef and Smith Rock off Cape Moreton are two areas which attract divers. The beautiful coral formations are like many of those found along the Great Barrier Reef. Fish life here is prolific.

Experienced divers will enjoy the extra bonus of exploring many of the wrecks
around Moreton Island. Dating back well into the 1800's, vessels like the
"Venus", "St Paul", Aarhus", Grace Darling",
and more recently the "Rufus King" and the "Marietta Dal",
have sunk off the Island.
Old gravel barges, tug boats, concrete pipes, tyres, car bodies, two whale chasers and an old Brisbane tram are just some of the items which lie submerged in 20m of water off Cowan Cowan. The fascination of this artificial reef, known as the Curtin Reef, brings divers back time and again. It has become a major breeding ground for all kinds of fish including some rare reef specie. Please leave your spear guns at home as the bay side of Moreton Island is a marine sanctuary.
