Shark Bay - Sydney & New South Wales

Alright, Three Wrecks. We’re talking about a proper Caribbean wreck dive, but with a bit of a twist on St. Vincent. Forget deep, technical stuff here. This site is all about exploring some well-colonised structures in comfortable depths, maxing out at about 18 metres. You drop onto Devil's Table reef first, which is a nice warm-up, then you hit the wreck run. The highlight for us is definitely the Strattman tug, but you've got two smaller yachts, Viviana and another, scattered along the reef. We love poking around the tug's engine room, imagining what it was like back in the day. The structures themselves are fairly intact, offering plenty of nooks for morays – we've seen some fat green morays peeking out, and the smaller blennies and gobies are everywhere if you slow down and look closely. Butterfish shimmer around the superstructures, and you'll often spot horse-eye jacks cruising by. Visibility averages around 17 metres, which is decent enough for enjoying the silhouettes of the wrecks and the life that’s made them home. This spot is perfect for anyone who loves a good wreck but doesn't want to push the limits on depth or current. It’s a relaxed, rewarding dive.
