Boat & Shore Dives
Sydney's topography leads to some amazing diving both right off the shore and from a boat. With an average of fifty different Sydney diving activities monthly, Abyss Scuba Diving offers a wide variety of PADI courses, FREE dives led by a divemaster, boat dives, weekend trips, freediving, and more! We are prepared to accept a wide range of diver certifications as long as you have sufficient proof of your certification for that dive; we can also organize a buddy if necessary.
If it has been more than six months since your last dive and you have completed fewer than twenty dives, we highly recommend taking a refresher (reactivate) course. This will ensure that you maintain your skills and stay updated in the most effective and enjoyable manner possible.
Sydney Dive Schedule
If conditions make the planned site unsuitable, the DM/Skipper will move the dive to the next best site. There is no refund if we do not make it to the planned dive site, as we cannot guarantee the specific spot on a given day.
Transport is not included in this dive. If you do not have your own transport, the best option is an uber to and from the site because of social distancing.

Located on Ship Rock Road, it wont take long to see how this site got its name. The only way to dive it, is high tide. Dropping over the wall, takes you into another world, full of pineapple fish, angler fish, decorator crabs (if you can spot them), cuttlefish and much more. Be at the store at more than 30 mins before to collect your gear and meet your dive masters before driving yourself to the site.
Note that this is not the shore dive site that we often visit. It is in the same area but this site is accessible from a boat.
The reef that extends from the famous arch runs quite far South and is mainly flat with large boulders on the edge and the sand line. The site ranges from 20-35m and has lots of colourful sponges. Expect to see lots of fish life including Yellowtail, Silversweep, Blue Groupers, Leatherjackets and Port Jackson Sharks.
If conditions make the planned site unsuitable, then another site will be selected for the dive..

This photo dive is designed for people with a camera so it will be a go slow dive to allow you to get the perfect shot. (The site will be confirmed on the day).
For this dive you must be confident in the water. This site is one of our favourites and is usually conducted as a drift dive with the incoming tide. It is a bit of a clif walk down, you need to be confident in the water. Step off the rocks into the big blue and let your self be taken along the wall, looking for weedy seadragons, rays and Pj’s. Its always good to get to the site early to get set up and then park your car at the exit point. The second dive will be held at The Steps.
