With 199+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, bull sharks, dolphins, dugongs and great white sharks - Acheron Ledge offers some of Sydney & New South Wales's richest reef diving. Water ranges 18-23°C, warmest January, February, March.
Acheron Ledge, off the Sydney coast, offers a solid wall dive. We often find schooling yellowtail scad here, along with wobbegong sharks tucked into the crevices. It’s a reliable spot when the swell is down, suitable for experienced divers comfortable with deeper profiles and potential current.
