Why dive here
With 199+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, bull sharks, dolphins, dugongs and great white sharks - Yena Gap offers some of Sydney & New South Wales's richest reef diving. Water ranges 18-23°C, warmest January, February, March.
Yena Gap, a shore dive tucked away in Sydney, often flies under the radar. It's a great spot for macro enthusiasts and photographers seeking nudibranchs, gobies, and blennies in its rocky crevices. Entry can be tricky over the boulders, so calm conditions are your friend here. We'd suggest it for experienced shore divers looking for something a bit different from the usual Sydney suspects.
