These are som e of the dive sites we frequent:

CABBAGE TREE BAY

This site is at the boat ramp at Norah Head. It is the regular training grounds for our student dives and also offers a great site for the certified diver after a nice relaxing dive. Max Depth 10m This site does have a boat ramp so entry on the right hand side of the ramp, stick to the rocks keeping the reef on your right on the way out , when you turn, Rocks on the left! Easy enoug! If you are diving this site pls remember to take a dive flag.

FLAT ROCK

This site is at the north end of Soldiers Beach at Norah Head. A giant stride off the rock shelf gets you in for a dive around kelp coverd boulders with large crevices and some swimthroughs. A highlight of the dive is some large crevices to swim through with a sponge wall, swim through and a great landscape. The exit is onto a sand spit that connects the rockshelf with the mainland and a bit of a walk back up to the carpark. Maximum depth is around 9m and care needs to be taken with the entry. Please check with us about where to step off the rocks.

LIGHTHOUSE

We have a few dives at this site. One stepping off the rocks at the "Lighthouse Fingers" and swimming around a large bommie. Another is "Lighthouse Bay" which is a rocky bay with crevices, overhangs and boulders. Both sites are magnificent with depths up to 12m however they are weather dependent as the rockshelves are exposed to the swell.

CATHERINE HILL BAY COAL LOADER

A nice easy dive. Bits and pieces of wreck scattered around the bay and under the old coal loader. Old Chain, pipes, and the Boiler from the Wallarah Wreck are popular with divers. Depths of 8-9m. Now that the track down has been closed it is impossible to get to from the road by car. Now we have to get into the site via the Surf Life Saving Club at Catherine Hill Bay. Its a bit of a walk across sand but well worth it. Weave your way in and around the pilons and have a nice scout around to see all the bits and peices left behind from days gone by.

CATHERINE HILL BAY TRENCH (SCREECH POINT)

To the right of the Coal Loader along the beach is the site called the Trench. This is a great dive for photographers. Sponge gardens, hard corals, soft corals, nudibranchs, amazing fish life. Lots of nooks and crannies. Max Depth 12m.

CATHERINE HILL BAY DESOTO INLET

Desoto Inlet about 75 to 100 metres long and 10 metres wide for most of its length. There are still some remains of an old car wreck driven off the cliff at the head of the inlet. In millpond conditions you can enter and exit the dive in the inlet but in bigger swells you cannot exit here, you would swim around to the trench. The bottom of the inlet is about 6 metres. Explore the head of the inlet, there is the wreckage of the car there and some great large overhangs. Max depth 16m.

TERRIGAL HAVEN

A Very easy and relaxing dive. You are sure to be hasselled by the Blue Grouper they are used to the divers and will swim along side you. Further out along the rocky wall to your right is a great anchor, swarming with schools of fish. Further along you might be lucky to see the weedy sea dragon and the eastern blue devil fish. This is a great night night dive also. Max depth 12m

TERRIGAL SKILLION CAVE

Can be done as a boat dive, but is easy enough to do as a shore dive if conditions are calm. This site can be treacherous if there is a swell. Swim along the rock wall and you come to a cave with a large boulder in the middle of the rock crevice. The walls are covered with sponges and anemones. Shrimp, blue grouper, wrasse and squid frequent this area. On the rare occasion you may even see a Grey nurse come into this area. Max depth 23m

SKILLION SLIDE

SWANSEA BRIDGE

Depth: 14m/45ft, Rating: Novice to Intermediate
The remains of the original wooden bridge, The pylons of the new bridges discarded building materials, shopping trolleys and bikes have created a huge man-made reef. This is the most concentration of fish that divers will see in the area. School of snapper, bream, whiting, tailer,morwong, sweep, leatherjackets, kingfish wrasse and other tropical species will be seen on this dive. The bridge can only be dived when the tide stops so it is important to check with the shop for dive times. This site can be very harzardous if dived incorrectly.

SWANSEA HEADS (THE LOG)

HALIFAX NELSON BAY

28m/90ft, Rating: Novice to Intermediate
Halifax Park had a great abundance of Marine Life. It has more recently been covered by thousands of cubic meters of sand. Divers often find themselves being bothered by inquisitive large blue groper, which beg divers feed them. A great variety of Nudibranch sourround the bottom in amongst soft and hard corals, sponges. You will sport the odd morey eel and be overwhelmed by the variety of tropical fish life. This site is not local but we do dive it when ever we get the chance.
