Why dive here
With 199+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, bull sharks, dolphins, dugongs and great white sharks - Balmoral Baths offers some of Sydney & New South Wales's richest shore diving. Water ranges 18-23°C, warmest January, February, March.
Balmoral Baths offers a surprisingly productive shore dive, especially for those new to Sydney diving or looking for something easy. Stick to the netted areas and you'll often spot seahorses clinging to the ropes. It’s a gentle spot, usually sheltered, making it a good choice for a relaxed afternoon. We've even seen the occasional octopus here, tucked into the sand flats.
