Dive right in to some of the best shore diving in NSW. Whether you're an experienced scuba diver or it’s your first ever snorkel… the Port Stephens Great Lakes Marine Park boasts a range of dive sites to suit all levels.
Like the popular Fly Point in Nelson Bay thriving with fish and famous for coral and nudibranchs and The Pipeline… a must see for macro divers and keen photographers.
Or how about a boat dive to Broughton Island, in particular ‘Looking Glass’ which is a dive through a crack / arch in the rock, which you’ll share with grey nurse sharks. This should be at the top of your agenda if you have not dived Nelson Bay before.
If the boats are not heading all the way to Broughton, there are more sheltered alternatives around Cabbage Tree Island which is just outside the ‘bar’.
Nelson Bay can be dived year-round. Diving in the Bay is tidal with the best visibility and weakest currents occurring at slack water on High tide. Use the tide times for Fort Denison in Sydney Harbour.
