Charter Sealife V in Sydney
Many of the world's best scuba diving sites are accessible only by boat. Whether you've never tried a boat dive or you've logged dozens, it can often be a little easier than entering from shore, such as during our Learn to Dive program. PRO DIVE's Sealife V is the biggest, most frequently operated dive boat in the spectacular Sydney Harbour and beyond!

The rumors are true, Cody is truly a magician, just as much as I talk underwater! She must eat a lot of carrots based on the critters she finds. Warm energy on the boat in rough seas. Thanks Artur, Daniel & Dean too. by Matthew Thurn - 11-May-2024

I had a really good time. My best diving boat trip in Sydney. However, it would be nice to provide buckets to rinse the dive gear after the trip is done. But that's just a tiny remark on a fantastic day. by Alvaro Moran Gago - 27-Apr-2024

Located North of Sydney Harbour. The main site at Long Reef is located along a large rock wall and drops to 15 to 20 metres. There is a huge rock formation that has a large swim-through running from east to west called The Cathedral. The cathedral one of the sites highlights is formed by two massive boulders leaning against each other and is covered in sea tulips, sponges and bryozoans. The Cathedrals ceiling is always abundant with sealife. Once you reach the western side it is home to masses of fish; bullseyes, roughies, yellowtail, pike and tailor. There are plenty of starfish, large cuttlefish, wobbegongs and Port Jackson sharks. We find visibility gets much clearer during winter so keep this site in mind for a mid winter dive. Swimming north of the cathedral and following the wall you come across large gutters, frequented by young grey nurse sharks. Note - Watch for strong currents.

Located of South Head, Macquarie Light House offers a great dive and we often see a group of seals.
Magic Point is easily one of Sydney's most iconic dive sites. It is renowned for the large ledge/cave along a wall that starts at 7m and reaches 16m at its base that is home to some truly famous inhabitants, Sydney’s grey nurse sharks.
Historically, the cave has been home to in excess of 30 sharks at a time and has seen them congregrating even to this day. In 2013, Magic Point was designated a protected area from fishing to help the grey nurse shark numbers recover.
But sharks are not the only sea life to discover - divers can see wobbegong, Port Jackson sharks, cuttlefish, bull rays, yellowtail, weedy sea dragons and pineapple fish. In the right season, you might even catch sight of humpback whales and bottlenose dolphins.
A Marine Protected Area north of a line drawn from North Head to grotto Point.
