The Wreck of the Alberta – Clint Hempsall

This Clint Hempsall dive site profile from the Coastwatch Vault is on the wreck of the Alberta, a 110m steam ship en route from Japan to Melbourne that ran aground on a shallow reef off Kingscliff on the northern NSW coast on the 19th of October 1890. The wreck lays approx. 5.5nm south of the Tweed bar and is a popular dive site. Calm weather is needed to dive it and Chris Mair from Ocean Diving & Photographics is a good experienced dive operator who can take you there. You can contact him on 0418 750084.
