The SS Kelloe is a shipwreck located 1300 metres off the coast of La Perouse, Australia. Resting at depths between 48 and 51 metres, this site is strictly for technical divers. The wreck structure presents entanglement risks, and the area is subject to strong, unpredictable currents that can develop rapidly. Visibility at the site ranges from 10 to 30 metres. Due to the significant depth, divers must manage nitrogen narcosis risks and mandatory decompression stops. Access is by boat only, and conservative gas planning is essential given the challenging conditions and typical dive duration of 18 minutes.
