Forster
Shark Diving Weekend

26-27 November 2005
$295

Forster is located approximately 350km north of Sydney. The area is renowned for always having Grey Nurse sharks throughout the year. If you want to dive with sharks this is the place to do it. There always seems to be a high level of excitement on board a dive boat heading out for a shark dive. Divers who have never dived with sharks before are nervous and excited at the same time. Experienced shark divers seem calmer, but still look excited. Your first dive with the grey nurse sharks at Forster is one that you will never forget. To see these beautiful, graceful and terrifying looking creatures up close in their own environment is an experience that not many people have. For most people the Grey Nurse sharks will be the biggest creature they ever see under the water.

But apart from sharks, the diving around Forster and Seal Rocks has a lot to offer. The water is usually clear, and a whole range of other sea creatures inhabit the waters. Wobbegongs, bull rays, turtles, beautiful sponge gardens gorgonians, morays, groper, the occasional marlin, schools of bream and yellowtail, plus much more. There are numerous dive sites to choose from up at Forster and Seal Rocks, The Pinnacle is a dive that has to be done to be believed. Ranging from 24-40m it has large gutters with sharks cruising around, wobbegongs laying peacefully on the bottom, huge schools of fish hanging motionlessly in the water, giant bull rays. Last time I dived the Pinnacle a huge turtle swam past us while we were doing our safety stop. Another great dive is Jimmy’s Cave at Edith Breakers (10-36m), an underwater cave system and giant swim throughs, it is very spectacular and it has to be dived to be believed. A lot of these dives are deep dives and I recommend you complete the deep module of your advanced course before doing these dives, or gain some experience with diving to 30m before hand
