Why dive here
With 199+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, bull sharks, dolphins, dugongs and great white sharks - Pig Island offers some of Sydney & New South Wales's richest reef diving. Water ranges 18-23°C, warmest January, February, March.
Pig Island offers a straightforward dive, often used for training or a relaxed day out. The site itself is more about the journey and the convenience than any spectacular reef. We’ve found decent macro opportunities on the sandy patches, and you’ll likely spot stingrays or small schooling fish. It’s a good spot for newer divers or those looking for an easy shore entry.
