Why dive here
With 199+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, bull sharks, dolphins, dugongs and great white sharks - Yena Extension offers some of Sydney & New South Wales's richest diving. Water ranges 18-23°C, warmest January, February, March.
The Yena Extension, off the New South Wales coast, offers a straightforward dive, often a drift depending on the prevailing current. You'll generally find the bottom here a mix of sand and scattered reef patches, home to a decent collection of temperate fish. It's a solid choice for a second dive or for newer divers looking for a less challenging drift. We usually spot wobbegongs tucked under ledges and plenty of schooling yellowtail scad.
