Why dive here
With 199+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, bull sharks, dolphins, dugongs and great white sharks - The Cutting Farkernell offers some of Sydney & New South Wales's richest diving. Water ranges 18-23°C, warmest January, February, March.
The Cutting, often known as Farkernell, sits just off the coast, a popular spot for Sydney divers. We've found it offers a good wall dive, dropping away to around 20 metres, sometimes a bit more. You'll typically find wobbegong sharks tucked into ledges and plenty of schooling fish. It’s a solid choice for an easy boat dive when you're looking for something reliable without a huge current.
