- Diving the Zanoni in 2022 with the Flinders University Underwater Club. The 338 ton composite barque Zanoni was built in Liverpool in 1865 and was 139 feet (44 metres) in length. It was built by W H Potter & Co and owned
by Thomas Royden & Sons and intended for the East India trade. The Zanoni is the most intact 19th century merchant sailing vessel located in South Australia.
Unfortunately the day we dived the wreck (and the nearby barge), the visibility was only 3-4 metres. We were also visited by a friendly little Great White shark on the surface. Not much of the wreckage remains, but it is worth one dive
Dr Harris an Craig you guys are Legends love the videos guys
Those videos made me realise how I miss scuba diving, stopped during covid due to travel restrictions. My last trip was northern wrecks in February 2020 in the Red Sea 11 days of livaboard and will never ever forget how scared I was initially only done open water year prior had about 50 dives only and then brushed shoulders with some exceptional divers with 5k plus dives.
Finished my side mount and then enjoy the rest of a trip, wether was not great but wrecks have changed my perception for life. Unfortunately our follow up trips plans with my oldest son. Have been put away and now it's 3 years not getting wet.
When I look at my hollis side mount in storage I want to go back again so bad...
Awesome and thank you for your inspiration I can feel.the itch again 😀
