Idol Bay - Sydney & New South Wales

Idol Bay offers a straightforward shore dive, popular with local dive schools for training and for those looking for an easy entry. The sandy bottom gradually slopes, reaching around 10 to 12 metres, with scattered rocks and small patches of seagrass. You’ll usually spot wobbegong sharks tucked under ledges and plenty of nudibranchs if you look closely. It's a calm spot, ideal for new divers or a relaxed afternoon dip.
