Situated between Manly Beach and Shelly Beach, Fairy Bower is a dive site that is part of the Cabbage Tree Bay Aquatic Reserve and, as a result, has a broad range of fish life. It’s a shallow dive and access to the site is from a small set of steps that straddle the wall that runs along Marine Parade and then across the rocks.

Situated between Manly Beach and Shelly Beach, Fairy Bower is a dive site that is part of the Cabbage Tree Bay Aquatic Reserve and, as a result, has a broad range of fish life. It’s a shallow dive and access to the site is from a small set of steps that straddle the wall that runs along Marine Parade and then across the rocks.
There really is a surprisingly good range of aquatic life out there from Turtles to Dusky whaler sharks through to Cow nosed rays. This is a dive to take slowly and have a good poke around in the gutters, cracks and crevasses that run across the site.
You can find Wobbegongs, Fiddler rays, the odd Eagle ray, Giant cuttlefish, Estuarine catfish, Eastern blue gropers, plenty of Stingarees, a resident Turtle if you are lucky and, in season, juvenile Dusky whaler sharks. There has even been the odd Grey nurse shark spotted there. In addition, there is a lot of smaller life fish life to observe.
