2nd dive of both my Deep and Nitrox courses - the Centurion is the skeletal remains of a collier that sand back in 1887 off quarantine head in Sydney. Not allot remains however you can still make out the framework and it definitely attracts allot of marine life.
Sam had us complete some navigation off into the sand - so no visual navigation aids; just a compass and kick cycles... A pretty easy task we were given maybe 15mtrs out of visibility of our start point - turn around and head back to the start point.
Large Morey Eel, some Wobbegong and lots of fish life - site is more than easy to explore in 30 mins...
Nice dive - although not high on the do again list.
