Dive-site story
Located off the rugged headland north of Shelly Beach in Sydney, Blue Fish Point features dramatic sandstone reef architecture. Massive fallen boulders create overhangs, gutters, and deep swim-throughs that give shelter to diverse temperate marine species. The site faces the open Pacific Ocean, meaning underwater surge and swell dictate dive conditions, but rewarding calm days reveal classic New South Wales coastal diving.
Extensive sandstone boulder gardens and deep swim-throughs carved by oceanic surge
Regular gatherings of Port Jackson sharks resting in gutters during cooler months
Kelp-covered reef edges hosting eastern blue gropers and resting wobbegongs
