On the northern side of Botany Bay this site is a nice easy dive with beautiful colourful sponge gardens on a wall from 17m to 24m. Expect
to see loads and loads of colour on this dive with heaps of bright
pokemon (sea tulips) with lots of ledges to look under and fish to
greet you. From schooling old wives to port jackson sharks and of
course some beautiful nudibranch this site is a must do. Remember your
torch for this dive as it will bring the colours out at depth and
allow for you to check out all the over hangs.
This one is best to do on an incoming or close to high tide to get the
best visibility.
This dive site consists of a wall that runs north-south. The reef top is about 17 metres and it drops to 26 metres in spots. There can be a wealth of marine life including leatherjackets, silver sweep, small seapike, yellowtail and other fish. Keep your eyes open for overhangs and some small swim-throughs and arches. A great dive site to explore. If conditions make the planned site unsuitable, then another site will be selected for the dive..
The Abyss diving boat is surpassed by none when it comes to comfort, speed, and convenience. With its ability to quickly travel to a variety of dive sites, divers can easily get in a second dive and be back home before lunchtime. Additionally, the hot showers on the back deck are always appreciated by those who love luxury accommodations. All things considered, the Abyss boat makes for a much more enjoyable diving experience than other boats on the market today.
The 12.5 meter-long ally collar RIB was custom-made in 2020 and is similar to marine rescue boats; therefore, it can move quickly with its 900 horsepower engine while remaining stable.

Safety requirements for boat dives
The Dive Sites schedule is a guide for our planned locations, but if conditions are unsafe, we reserve the right for the boat skipper to choose an alternative site.
If the dive site is deeper than 18 meters, you must have completed your Advanced certification.
You must have a safety sausage to dive. If you do not own one, don't worry! You can buy one when you book your guided boat dive online or on the morning of the dive.
The double guided boat dives includes Divemaster's services for all the divers on the boat. Having a personal DM will be an additional $199.
If you haven't dived within the past 6 months and have not completed 20 dives, then you must take a refresher dive prior to the boat dives.
