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.
Diving Club Sydney
We have a very active dive club with club dives and events run regularly. Or if you want to travel we have our professional dive leaders leading multiple trips every year to a range of local and international dive locations, so there is something to suit everyone.

Sydney Diving : Australia's PORT JACKSON SHARK HD
From the tropics to Diving at Bare Island, La Parouse, NSW, Australia... After so long, finally had a chance to see a PORT JACKSON SHARK. Its winter and breeding time for these migratory sharks. Normally found southern parts of Australia , they head north to shallow waters to breed. Saw this 5 ft.(1.6 mar shark). Water was at 17c (62.6 f) and my hands would sometimes shake while holding the camera. La Parouse is a historical site and takes many visitors from all over the world. I was fortunate that my adventure has taken me here to meet one of the most interesting shark species out there. OH! and check out the Blue Groper! the state symbol of the territory. Thank you Sydney Dive Safari for taking me.

Diving Little Bay - Sydney's Prettiest Dive Site
Little Bay is one of the prettiest dive sites in Sydney. The bay floor here is about 3.5 to 5 metres deep, depending on tides. Go up over the rocks and enter the open ocean.
.As you go, look for golf balls, they are everywhere. There are some nice overhangs along and small canyons and couple of swim-throughs. There is also some nice fishlife, yellowtail, seapike and sweep. Closer to the shore, there are some luderick and eastern blackfish hiding in the overhangs.
Sydney Underwater - Diving Oak Park
This video is the third film in a mini series about scuba diving in the Sutherland Shire, in southern Sydney. Oak Park is located just around the corner from Cronulla and has a small population of resident turtles! I've dove this site probably around 10 - 15 times and have spotted turtles (there are 3 different turtles that frequent the area) on about 35 - 40% of my dives here. Which is more frequent than up on Great Barrier Reef! Insane hey!
The site itself is super shallow and a perfect beginner dive, its loaded with cool corals and a ridiculous amount of fish! It's easily one of Sydneys best dives! For maps and more detailed site information visit the 'Visit the Sutherland Shire's' website.

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.
