About this dive site
This dive site is a deep, offshore reef system known for its dramatic underwater topography of large boulders, gutters, and swim-throughs. It is one of Sydney's premier locations for observing aggregations of Grey Nurse Sharks. The exposed nature means conditions must be right, but the reward is a spectacular dive.
