Is it true what I hear. That operators cant take OW or AOW divers into
the Brisbane. Unless of course you are either Recreational Wreck
penetration or Technical Wreck penetration qualified?

A quote from one of the operators:

It is anticipated that this particular dive site will soon become Australia's
premier wreck dive destination so book in early to be on of the first to
dive on her! Open Water divers will be able to descend to tour around the
top deck of the ship in around 15-16 metres but remember only qualified
Advanced Open Water divers will be able to dive to the base of the wreck and
you'll need to do your "Wreck Diver" specialty to penetrate the ship.

Wow All 5 wrecks here in the West are ok for OW to enter.
