Scuba Diving Sydney

This Scuba Dive Sydney dive starts at the boat ramp mentioned above. Enter the water and drop to the bottom. It is about three metres deep. Head to the north-west and you will gradually get deeper. After 15 metres you will go over a small reef. Turn to your left and head south-west across the sandy bottom. After about five minutes you will reach the main reef. As you go you may see things like large flathead, numbray, small rays and flounder. The depth will be about five to six metres on the sand. Where you meet the reef (Point A) is the main section of the reef and you should follow the edge (on your left) as it goes first north-west and then west. Keep to the main higher reef and you will sort of swim through a gutter (large whitish rocks on left and a “wall” of kelp on right) with a flat rocky bottom. After about 25 metres you will cross over onto sand. The reef continues on your left and turns a little to the south-west.
Another 25 metres further on a sandy finger runs to the left into the reef (depth 8 metres). This finger goes off in a south-westerly direction while the main reef goes west. In poor visibility this can cause confusion and cause you to move away from the real edge of the reef up onto the top of the reef. Care needs to be taken as this leads to an area where you can get lost and not easily find your way back to the reef edge. If this occurs, head in a northerly direction until you regain the sand.
Near this location there are some large boulders out on the sand. In this area at about 8.5 to 9 metres, there are some orange sponges on the isolated rocks off the main reef. In this area there is often red Indianfish. They are about 25 cm long. All along here there is a very prominent wall with then bits of reef or isolated rocks located off the wall. There are also lots of old bits from the bridge (pylons and decking) and even part of a powerboat. Examine the rocks, the overhangs, the (normally dead bits of) kelp on the sand. You will find some amazing fish here.
