Forster Shark Month Special – 4–5 July

This is not just another Forster weekend — it is a special Shark Month edition created for divers who want a deeper, more social and more meaningful shark diving experience.

Join Abyss Scuba Diving for a weekend of classic Forster diving, with the chance to encounter grey nurse sharks, seals, reefs and some of the best marine life on the NSW coast. You will enjoy the usual Forster weekend inclusions, including accommodation, scheduled boat dives, tanks and weights, and a relaxed weekend away with the Abyss crew.

For this special Shark Month departure, we are adding a few extras to make the weekend even more memorable.

Shark Month bonus inclusions

• Limited-edition metal Shark Month stubby cooler
• Shark Diver T-shirt
• Saturday night dinner
• Guest shark conservation presentation from Sarah Han-de-Beaux from Spot A Shark
• A social “dive and dine” evening where you can learn more about grey nurse sharks, shark conservation and the role divers can play in protecting the marine life we love

Important certification requirement

This special departure is for Advanced Open Water certified divers or equivalent only.

Unlike our regular Forster weekends, the PADI Advanced Open Water course is not available on this trip. Divers must already hold the required certification before departure. Please make sure your certification is current and attached to your Abyss account before booking.

Trip price

$645 per diver

This includes the normal Forster weekend package plus the Shark Month extras listed above.

Why join this trip?

Forster is one of NSW’s great shark diving destinations, and this Shark Month special brings together diving, dinner, education, conservation and community in one weekend. It is ideal for Advanced divers who love sharks, want to learn more about them, and want to be part of a one-off Abyss Shark Month event.

Marine life encounters are always with wild animals and cannot be guaranteed, but Forster offers some of the best opportunities in NSW to dive with grey nurse sharks and enjoy a memorable weekend away.
