A Secret about Diving in Sydney
In Sydney, scuba divers are very lucky enough with good diving all year around. But a little-known secret about diving in Sydney is that during the months between July and September, we generally get the best diving with the flattest seas and the best visibility. The westerly winds at that time of the year bring nice flat conditions allowing access to many of the sites that cannot be dive at other periods of the year. As well the upwelling caused by the westerlies results in the visibility of fifteen meters or better on a regular basis.
During the period both the giant cuttlefish and Port Jackson sharks come into the area to mate.
So, providing you wear the appropriate thermal protection then you should plan to make diving in Sydney a year round activity.

Scuba Diving in Sydney
Australia offers some fantastic scuba diving with a broad range of marine life and Sydney as the gateway to Australia offers scuba diving unequaled by any large city. A recent study revealed that Sydney has more marine species than any other harbour in the world. Some 600 marine animals have already been identified and we can be sure that there are more to be found. One of the great attractions of scuba diving around Sydney is its abundant marine life.
Scuba Diving Magic Point, Sydney Australia, August 2013
Another great shore dive at Magic Point, Sydney, Australia!
We met at 6:45 in the car park, walked about 1km on sand and rocks, and jumped in 16 degree water... totally worth it :) We saw many Grey Nurse Sharks at both the small and large caves, large schools of Yellow Tail Scads, Eastern Pomfret and Old Wives; and lots of other critters not on the video, such as octopus, moray eels, nudibranch, etc...
Thanks to my buddies Ronnie and Sofiane for that awesome dive.

Australia's Great Barrier Reef | beautiful underwater nature | Scuba Diving the Ribbon Reefs HD
The Ribbon Reefs are a string of ten large reefs that together form the outer edge of Australia's Great Barrier Reef. One feature of the Ribbons is that they serve to shelter the inner reef from big storm damage.
The Ribbon Reefs are home to some of the GBR's most popular dive sites. Steve's Bommie, Lighthouse Bommie and Cod Hole are among the best known. But there are also other more recently discovered sites that were real standouts on our recent expedition (June 2011).
Acropolis is one of the sites that is new to me. It boasts the most perfect fields of Acropora coral I have ever seen. Table corals that are 12' / 3.6m in diameter are common here. Uninterrupted fields of staghorn corals extend beyond the 100' / 30m visibility in all directions. Coral cover is close to 100% on this reef. Such coral density is getting rare enough these days... but considering this whole region recently slept through Cyclone Yasi, then the still-pristine state of Acropolis is testament to the resilience of coral reefs, the protection the barrier offers the inner reef, and the general patchiness of storm damage.
Liz and I dived and worked on the Ribbon Reefs a decade ago—in fact, it's where we first met. During our expedition last month, we were thrilled to see the sites were in even better condition now than when we last saw them. Familiar coral heads and bommies seem to have more fish than ever. The corals are in better condition, and of course bigger than they were 10 years ago. The many anemones I used to film each week have found new tenants, but are still right where I last saw them: True clownfish have replaced the Pink anemonefish on top of Steve's Bommie, while Barrier Reef anemonefish have replaced Spinecheeks a little further down the site. It was like returning to an old neighbourhood... some faces may have changed, but the same houses stand strong.
This video shows a random mix of footage from the Ribbon Reefs dive sites. I hope it doesn't take another 10 years before I re-visit them again.

Sydney Project, South Coast NSW deep wreck diving
Over the weekend of the 15th and 16th of June after a few months of preparation, the Sydney Project dive team completed 2 dives to a depth of 135m and 125m on the SS William Dawes and Coast Farmer wrecks respectively on the continental shelf off the coast of Bermagui NSW Australia.
The expedition team consisted of 8 bottom team divers split into 3 teams
Team 1 David Tipping, Alex Lee and Chris McCran
Team 2 Ruslan Pnevski, Tom Gower and John Wooden
Team 3 Samir Alhafith and Scott Wyatt
As well as 2 support divers Ben Claydon and Luke Carden and a dive supervisor Steve Kang
The first dive was conducted on the Saturday on the wreck of the William Dawes to a depth of 135m
The second dive was conducted on the Sunday on the wreck of the Coast Farmer (which has yet to be confirmed) to a depth of 125m.
The decompression times varied between 3 and a half to 4 hours between the teams.
A special thank you has to be mentioned to Ben Claydon, Luke Carden and Steve Kang who drove all the way from Melbourne to be support divers and dive supervisor on this expedition, which included helping the bottom teams gear up, getting them safely in and out of the water, diving to 30m to collect their bailout cylinders whilst they conducted decompression as well as setting up all of the decompression stations.
A thank you to expedition leader Samir Alhafith for organising this trip and the charter.
Steve and Scott of Fish Bermi and Bermagui Bait & Tackle NSW to take us out.
Both days of diving saw perfect conditions and breathtaking visibility of at least 40m at depth.

Scuba Diving North Bondi in Sydney
Early morning dive before work. We got in as the sun came up so the footage is a little dark. Check out the cave and swim-throughs. We also helped a blue groper have a snack. We usually don't encourage feeding wild animals but this dive site is being over run with sea urchins. The urchins natural predators have been fished out and as a result are eating all the primary habitat, algae and seaweed in the area creating an imbalance in this area.

Originally posted by the shop itself end of 2013 under the title One of our fearless divers takes on a man eating shark, kind of, this video got shot down by them after spreading on facebook in the Sydney area. The operator refuses any comment and acts as if this video never existed. The rebreather diver is one of the shop owners, and currently still runs it.
