On the trip out from the Pittwater, the towline broke, and she was swamped by a large wave, sinking in minutes. This was in 1981, thus the Valiant is ones of Sydneys most recent wrecks. The Valiant lies with a tilt to the port side on a sandy bottom. The wreck has a lot of growth, with various anemones and sponges becoming food for a variety of fish life. Although not as prolific as the fish life on the Southern wrecks, its quite impressive.
Visibility can range from very good to lousy.
The inside of the wreck has silt, thus being realistic, without dangerous. The Valiant is served by several operators, notably Atlantis Dive at Palm Beach, which has a wharf at the rear of the shop on the protected Pittwater. All rights reserved.
