Port Stephens (Nelson Bay) is a beautiful, relaxed holiday area located 230 km north of Sydney. This picturesque, blue-water bay is bordered by clean beaches, rugged bushland and a number of weather-beaten offshore islands.
Diving outside the bay is fantastic, with plenty of reefs, deep drop-offs and a number of historic shipwrecks. Even inside the bay, the diving is great boasting three of the top shore dives on the east coast of Australia.
