Long ReefThese three sites are adjacent to one another and lie just east of Long Reef Point, a five-minute boat ride. The main site is located along a large rock wall and drops to 15 to 20 metres. This huge rock formation has a large swim-through running from east to west of the rock. The western side is always home to masses of fish; bullseyes, roughies, yellowtail, pike and tailor. The boulders themselves are covered in sea tulips, sponges and bryozoans. There were plenty of starfish, large cuttlefish, wobbegongs and Port Jackson sharks. The cathedral (name of massive boulder) comes up to about eight metres and often visibility gets much clearer during winter. Swimming north of the cathedral following the wall you come across large gutters frequented by young grey nurse sharks. Watch for strong currents. 10-25 metres Black |
Magic PointMagic Point is the southern headland of Maroubra Bay - about 14 km south of Sydney Harbour. It is a significant aggregation area for Grey Nurse sharks. Despite their fierce appearance, Grey Nurse sharks are not considered to be dangerous to humans.They are a passive species with teeth designed for capturing prey such as fish, squid and crustaceans. The sharks can usually be found in a cave about 15 metres below the surface. This cave is really a large undercut section of the cliff wall - it is about 15 metres wide and about 5 metres deep at the western end. Once on the bottom, head to the cave and stop about five metres in front of it. The bottom is very silty and the sharks love to lie around and cruise around this little 'patch'. Expect around 8-10 grey nurse sharks. The sharks are accompanied by enormous schools of yellowtail as well as remoras. The sharks are very tolerant of divers but you should not reach out and touch or poke any of these animals. Staying still and calm will often be rewarded with sharks cruising right over your head or very close by. Wild movements and noises are more likely to just frighten them away. 16-23 metres Blue |
Manly BommieThis is a new dive site recently discovered off Manly. Site details and pictures will be posted soon 12-18 metres Green |
Old Mans HatA truly magical rocky reef dive accessible only by boat. Under the towering curve of Sydney Heads, the rocks jumble into the water and slowly give way to sponge gardens and a sandy kelp bottom. Suits all levels of experience. The further out you go, the deeper it gets. At Old Man's Hat a depth of around 20-26m can be reached, further to the east it gradually drops to 36-38m. The area is rocky with a few sandy patches. Sponges and soft coral can be found on the rocky bottom. Expect to see blue groper, cuttlefish, lizard fish, yellow tails, nudibranchs, pygmy leatherjackets, shrimps, ascidians, sponges, sea squirts and all sorts of other temperate marine life.
