Join PRO DIVE Nelson Bay for a Spectacular day out on the water.
Definitely one of Nelson Bay's main attractions, Broughton Island has spectacular several dive sites to choose from. The most popular is the 'Looking Glass', a narrow channel through the centre of the island.
At the southern end the 'Looking Glass' is 16 metres deep dropping to 20 metres at the northern end, suitable for Open-water divers. Large boulders decorate the outside complete with swim- throughs filled with mating Port Jackson sharks at certain times of the year. Once inside, the fish life is amazing; blue groper, red morwong, bullseye and bream. At other times, grey nurse sharks and large eagle rays are seen at this spot. Sheer walls covered with baitfish and small sponges, patrolled by large black rays and grey nurse sharks in the warmer months.
There are deep (40m) rock walls around Broughton Island laden with Jewfish, snapper and kingfish. Caves at 'Esmerelda' and 'Fishermans' and many shallow rocky gutters with winding paths littered with wobbegongs and great marine life.
