Why dive here
With 199+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, bull sharks, dolphins, dugongs and great white sharks - Latitude Reef offers some of Sydney & New South Wales's richest reef diving. Water ranges 18-23°C, warmest January, February, March.
Latitude Reef offers a straightforward dive, well-suited for those looking for an easy Sydney shore entry. The reef system here is mostly hard coral, providing shelter for smaller reef fish and nudibranchs if you look closely. It’s a good spot for a relaxed exploratory dive, especially for newer divers or for shaking off the rust. We'd suggest going on a calm day to make the most of the visibility.
