Robert's Ramblings

Last week a lucky few of us had the chance to dive the AV Ulonga.

The AV Ulonga was a Murray River paddle steamer converted to be an ocean-going cargo vessel. She sank in 1976 in around 38m of water about 10 nautical miles off the coast of South Australian's Fleurieu Peninsula. At over 33m in length with some penetration, she makes for a fantastic dive.

Pictured above on the descent are Alexius, with camera at the ready, and Ken. Notice the extra tanks we all took down for the dive. I'll let you guess what's in them!

For more information on the history of the AV Ulonga checkout Steve Reynold's article at http://www.mlssa.asn.au/nletters/march2005.htm

Until the next post, take care out there and keep diving ( if that's what you do! ) ...Robert
