Why dive here
With 199+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, bull sharks, dolphins, dugongs and great white sharks - Crocodile Head offers some of Sydney & New South Wales's richest diving. Water ranges 18-23°C, warmest January, February, March.
Crocodile Head, off Sydney, presents a straightforward shore dive, generally suitable for less experienced divers when conditions are calm. The entry can be a bit tricky, but once in, you’ll find a rocky reef sloping gently, scattered with sponges and anemones. We often spot wobbegongs tucked under ledges and schools of yellowtail scad darting about. It’s a decent spot for a relaxed afternoon dive, though visibility can be variable.
