About this site

Cannon Patch is a historic shipwreck site within John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, offering snorkelers the chance to explore around the remains of a sunken vessel.

The site is accessible by boat, with boat tours available from the park. As with other sites in the park, visibility can vary depending on weather conditions.

Cannon Patch is suitable for snorkelers of varying experience levels, as the park caters to a range of skill levels across its different sites. Peak season runs from December to April, when sites can become more crowded; weekday and morning visits tend to offer calmer, less busy conditions.
