Why dive here
With 199+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, bull sharks, dolphins, dugongs and great white sharks - Whale Of A Time offers some of Sydney & New South Wales's richest diving. Water ranges 18-23°C, warmest January, February, March.
Whale Of A Time is one of those Sydney sites where you just might spot a passing humpback during migration season, hence the name. It's a shore dive, fairly shallow, with rocky reefs and kelp beds, typical of the area. Expect to see wobbegongs, eastern blue gropers, and cuttlefish amongst the rocks. We'd suggest it for divers who enjoy a relaxed local dive with a chance of something big cruising by.
