Esperance Star

Esperance Star was a dive liveaboard ship operating out of Brisbane, Australia, and skippered by Captain Trevor Jackson. Built in Esperance Bay in Tasmania in 1973, she was one of the first liveaboard dive boats to operate from Cairns in Qld . In later years she gained some notoriety throughout the country for having located more than a dozen previously unknown wrecks along the coast of southern Queensland and being the dive platform used for what became known as the "Centaur Dive" on 14 May 2002. The dive helped disprove the theory that the AHS Centaur was off Cape Moreton near Brisbane.

The Esperance Star is a steel 17 m (56 ft) ship and her design is based around Tasmanian crayfishing vessels. She underwent a major refit in 2009.
