Comments	Had a great time diving SS Yongala. Arrived the night before and stayed in the onsite Dive Lodge. It is like a hostel and had available breakfast of cereal, peanut butter toast etc. Seas were rough 6 ft plus waves so I used a transdermscop patch and was glad I did. One person who had not taken any anti nausea medicine was throwing up and didn't make the second dive. Not much current. The dives were great and the staff was very helpful and informative - even told us about the history of the ship etc. during the surface interval spent on the boat. Saw some sting rays, moray eel, turtle, etc. When we returned they had hamburgers and hotdogs ready for a nice lunch.
