Look forward to it being sunk in the bay but let’s keep Red boats and Luke English from calling it there own. Other dive operators would be better promoting it.

I support having the Steve Irwin as an artificial reef in port Phillip bay.

Only on the condition that all plastics be removed prior to sinking, ie, chairs and other fittings.

This is a vessel that started its life as a fisheries patrol vessel and finished it as a conservation vessel with 9 years in the Antarctic with the anti whaling campaigns. 45 years of doing good the ocean and the world. She deserves to live!

Don’t sink it outside the heads this time, do it in Portsea Hole.. it’ll last longer

Being a SSCS volunteer that have taken heeps of public tours around the ship and have helped prep her for the Antarctic campaign over the years, it be great to have her here in Melbourne her last resting place , Melbourne has always been her home so just makes sense we can't have any other state getting her ! .... being a local diver it be awesome to visit her
