What is Shark Diving?

Shark diving is an exciting activity that involves diving into the deep blue sea with sharks. A shark dive can be both thrilling and intimidating, but don’t worry! With proper preparation and safety precautions, shark diving can be one of the most rewarding experiences. One of the most popular dive sites in Sydney is the Magic Point Shark Dive, known for its population of grey nurse sharks. This dive is usually done by boat, but shore diving is possible for experienced and fit divers, with the gear up point being close to Maroubra beach.

Before booking a dive, it is essential to obtain a fully completed medical clearance from a qualified dive doctor to ensure there are no contraindications to diving.

Shark diving is one of the most amazing scuba diving experiences. It’s safe and thrilling, no matter if you are a seasoned scuba diver or a newcomer to the sport. A dive tailored to your experience level affords a great opportunity to get amongst these majestic creatures up close and personal, along with the other awe-inspiring lifeforms which often accompany them in marine ecosystems. Whether it be observing them from afar or being amongst them as they feed, sharks of every kind provide an unforgettable experience for all scuba divers looking for something extraordinary.

Protocols for a Shark Dive with Grey Nurse Sharks

Grey nurse sharks, a critically important shark species, are naturally skittish and will flee at the slightest hint of danger. A National Standard for diving with grey nurse sharks has been established to ensure their continued presence in dive areas. It’s essential to remain still on rock walls when encountering these amazing sea creatures - if you touch them or startle them with noise from an underwater scooter, they’ll simply swim away to another location. This way, we can enjoy spending more time admiring grey nurse sharks before they leave our area!

Different Levels of Shark Diving Experiences

Shark diving in Sydney and New South Wales has something for everyone, regardless of their skill level. More skilled scuba divers can visit places like Fish Rock Cave at South West Rocks or the Pinnacle at Forster. On the other hand, novice divers should select a dive site such as Magic Point or Shell Harbour that still offers an intimate shark experience diving with grey nurse sharks but with minimal risk involved. If you are hesitant about tick shark diving, consider alternative experiences like swimming with dolphins.
