Advanced Open Water Scuba Diving Course - Sydney - Manly

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.

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.
