Fish Rock Cave

Fish Rock Cave. If you’re diving in New South Wales and someone says “cave,” this is probably what they mean. We’ve done it a few times now, and honestly, it holds up. You drop down, usually to about 24 metres, and then you’re into the mouth of it. It’s not a tight squeeze, not like some of the keyhole entrances elsewhere, but still, you feel that shift as the ambient light starts to fade. The whole place is a 125-metre swim-through, a proper tunnel, and it’s dark enough in sections that your torch earns its keep. We love seeing the bullseyes packed into the cavern – they’re so dense sometimes they look like a shimmering, moving wall. And the grey nurse sharks, they're the real draw, often just hanging out in the gloom, completely unbothered. You might spot a Hawksbill turtle cruising past too, or a wobbegong tucked into a rocky overhang. It’s a dive for those who enjoy overhead environments, but it’s not particularly challenging – more an adventure than a technical test. For us, it’s a site that feels genuinely different from your typical reef dive.
