With 199+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, bull sharks, dolphins, dugongs and great white sharks - Leah Lumps offers some of Sydney & New South Wales's richest diving. Water ranges 18-23°C, warmest January, February, March.
Leah Lumps is a boat dive accessible from Sydney, offering a straightforward experience for most divers. We’ve found it’s a good spot for a relaxed drift, often revealing wobbegongs tucked into crevices and schools of yellowtail scad darting across the reef. Visibility can be a bit variable, but on a good day, it’s a pleasant dive, generally free from strong currents. It's a reliable choice when you just want to get wet without too much fuss.
