    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Osbourne Shoals offers some interesting diving just a short boat ride from Sydney. The site is a series of rocky reefs and ledges, attracting a decent variety of temperate marine life. We often spot wobbegongs tucked into crevices and schools of yellowtail scad darting about. It’s a solid pick for divers looking for a reliable Sydney dive without going too far offshore.
