Scuba diving north of the Heads
Our Bluefish Point dive is located out and north of the Sydney Harbour Heads and comprises three main dive sites.
Site 1 is at the northern end, in a sheltered bay protecting our dive group from rough southerly seas and wind. We encounter a flat rock structure with depths ranging from 13m to 24m featuring ledges and splits with plenty of Sydney marine life to discover.
Big schools of big fish!
Divers then head east towards the point where large schools of pelagic and other types of fish congregate. We head back toward the boat in a circular (north-west) direction following a 1.5m ledge out toward a soft coral and sponge garden. When we get to the blue tulips sponges, we are on the lookout for a pair weedy seadragons.
Fiddler rays and blue devil fish
We next encounter a medium-sized boulder field at an 18m to 20m depth with sand patches, an environment well suited to large fiddler rays. Blue devil fish can also be found when looking in the ledges and caves of this area. Shy and reclusive, the blue devil fish move off quickly when they see divers.
A rock fishermen graveyard
Divers may come across new and old fishing rods and assorted fishing gear as many rock fishermen have been washed off the rocks in this area and have lost their lives.
This second site is our best one on this dive. We anchor or do a live entry where the fish congregate, then use the current to assist in a one-way dive south using the wall on the right arm to help navigation.
This rock wall is several hundred meters long and depth ranges from 10m to 24m. Divers will come across big black bull rays, kingfish schools (the latter typically early in the morning.)
Tons of sea life on view on this Sydney dive
There’s quite a bit to see on this dive, including red morwong, magpie morwong, bream, whiting and small subtropical fish. Giant cuttlefish can also be seen in the deeper sections among the small boulder structures.
As always on drift dives, we follow the master and guide’s instructions. If they think conditions are safe and within the divers’ capabilities and qualifications, then the dive will proceed as described on this webpage. Surface maker buoys (SMB’s) and time limits are required.
Dive #3
Site 3 is at the southern end of eastern facing wall. We anchor into the bay at 16m in a boulder field and generally do this when there is a westerly–northerly wind. Divers head north and meet the shear wall that is 20m tall in some places. Wobbegong sharks are commonly seen in and around the rock and sand line throughout this area.
It’s a beautiful way to finish an epic Sydney dive set.

We had our first-ever dive in Australia last weekend with Jason from Sydney Dive Charters and had such a blast. We hadn't dived in a while, but Jason was kind and patient, making us feel safe and comfortable. He took us to see seals and sharks, which was exactly what we were hoping to see. There were also heaps of whales to see from the boat, which made the experience even better. We couldn't recommend this dive more and look forward to come back for a second dive. Thank you, Jason!

We had a great dive with Sydney Dive Charter! Alizee was a great dive master and communication and coordination from the shop and was excellent. I would definitely do future dives with SDC if I am ever back in the area.

As a novice diver (OW 6 dives) I was a bit nervous diving outside my home country first time. We got taken care of very well and were guided perfectly despite the big swells and currents. Gear was also in top condition. Thank you very much!

Went for a double boat dive with Jason and Alizee on a beautiful Saturday morning. It was a smaller boat with a small group compared to other dive companies, making the experience not stressful and personable.We first dived at The Apartments and later on at North Harbour Aquatic Reserve. Despite being not the season, we managed to see 1x grey nurse shark. We also saw plenty of marine life like giant cuttlefish, port Jackson sharks and many more.Gear and tank hire were all ready on the boat when we were picked up from Rose Bay and the whole process was very smooth and easy. Jason and Alizee were both friendly and knowledgable. They’re patient with pre dive info and any questions we had. Both are experts on diving in Sydney and NSW, with a wealth of knowledge on different fish species in the area.We unfortunately dropped our camera after the first dive, but Jason has been very helpful with providing an email to confirm the loss of our items so we can claim from our travel insurance after our dives.We couldn’t have asked for a better crew to take us out - we will definitely be back to dive with Jason and Alizee, and highly recommend everyone else to reach out to them for a dive in Sydney - you will not be disappointed!Thank you very much Jason and Alizee!

Diving wasn't in my itinerary but I had a free day and there was a slot in one of the weekday diving schedule. So I grabbed it and had the best time! Felt like a VIP, with Sir Jason as by dive buddy. Booking was easy and the equipment for hire was top notch. Total had 2 shore dives in Shelly Beach, both about an hour long, and lots of remaining air to spare! And even it was my first time winter diving (I'm used to tropical waters), it was tolerable after some time thanks to 7mm wetsuits!

Great dives! Jason was a great guide. Port Jacksons, giant cuttlefish, common octopus, some nudis, frog fish, a few stone fish and a few Wobbegongs.

Had the best time with Sydney Dive Charters!Before booking my dive, I had a call with them to ask for recommendations since I haven’t really tried scuba diving in Sydney yet so I wanted to make sure to choose a package that’s worth it for me! They were very responsive and helpful — answering all my questions and concerns swiftly.During the dive day, my instructor, Jason, was sooo helpful. He made sure that I am comfortable and having fun the entire time. I’ve never had a very hands-on instructor ever!!! It was a premium experience 😁Thank you, Sydney Dive Charters!! 10/10 would recommend for sureeee ❤️

Thank you, Kieran, for an incredible diving experience with 4 memorable dives. Throughout, I felt safe and genuinely cared for as a customer. By the end of our last dive, it felt like I had gained a friend. Kieran, our dive instructor, played a crucial role in ensuring I experienced everything I had hoped for and more. Without him, it wouldn't have been as exceptional. I hope to visit again soon.

Had two awesome dives with Sydney Dive Charters! They were professional, had lots of knowledge about diving in the area and provided an amazing diving experience - probably two of my favourite dives so far since getting my OW certificate. I am definitely booking another dive with these guys the next time I’m in Sydney!

Great dives with great guides! We saw grey nurse sharks, giant cuttlefish, wobbegongs, and more! With everything we saw, it felt like we were on vacation somewhere far away, but it was just a short boat ride from Sydney harbor!

First dive at The Apartment was amazing - grey nurse sharks cruising among thousands of promfrets. Second dive was also good with giant cuttlefish, Port Jackson and Wobbegong sharks. Boat was a bit small but easy to get on and off. Sea was a bit choppy on the day (aka normal diving conditions for Sydney) so seasick tablets were certainly required.

This guy is all about money. After my personal experience on his boat, the other negative reviews confirmed this.Whilst it didn't happen to me, but he would definitely show no care whatsoever for inexperienced divers, based from what I've seen first hand. Basically it's just like paying for a spot in a small boat to just simply be dropped off in the ocean for a dive or two irregardless of the experience or ocean condition.I suggested everyone to check the lowest review first, especially about the "Chinese fisherman". Don't take a gamble.

03:02 10 Apr 24
Thank you so much for making my dive trip possible! After having to cancel two days due to the storm, Jason put a lot of effort into giving me a dive before I had to leave. He has a good eye for rays! Very professional, friendly and fun!

23:10 06 Apr 24
Jason and his team did an AMAZING job! My 14 year old son and I had a blast. We did a shore dive off of Shelley beach where we saw a giant cuttlefish eating a wobbegong shark! The next day we went up to the Apartments and saw quite a few sharks. What a great time!
Tomas Ducaud
10:03 05 Apr 24
Awesome operation! We were in Sydney on vacation and decided to die with Sydney Dive Charters and don't regret it one bit! We dove the Apartments and South Reef and saw tons of sharks, wobbegongs, massive cuttlefish, even a nudibranch resting on a wobbegong! I'd definitely repeat if I ever find myself in Sydney again.

I had a great dive with Jason. He knew where all the sea animals were hiding and he also introduced me to his friend “the blue groper aka groupie”. Never seen such a connection before… if you’re looking for a nice easy dive with a lot to see, Cabbage tree bay is the place. Definitely ask for Jason 👌

I was not sure what to expect with a dive in Sydney but was pleasantly surprised as the marine life at the site that we dived was great.Cuttlefish, nurse sharks, wobbegongs were the highlight with lots of others on display. I've done alot of diving so I know what good (and bad) looks like!On time boat (tick), good rental gear (tick), short travel to dive site (tick), great dive briefing (tick) friendly but focus boat crew (tick) diving was exactly as described (tick)Thanks Jason and team. We will be back.

Very warm welcome from Jason, who came to pick me up from the Ferry at Manly Wharf. Clear in his explanations and his briefing. Pleasant one-hour dive departing from Shelly Beach. Saw many rays, drays, blue grapers and leatherjackets. It's a shame not to have seen a shark or a turtle, but that's part of the game, it's not like diving in an aquarium. Jason had also been responsive in answering all my questions by email in previous weeks.

Jason , Alizee and Aisha from Sydney Dive Charters were amazing today - We had Alizee as our guide who fantastic and helpful throughout the day both in the water and out. . Aisha captained the boat and looked after us on board. Jason runs a professional set up with fantastic crew and a fast boat to get you in the water quickly . I thoroughly recommend Sydney dive charters . We will be return customers

I really enjoyed the diving which lasted over 70 minutes since the water was quite shallow. Hoped to see some grey nurse sharks but got to see lots of other animals. Felt like a small dive centre with a familiar vibe.

We accompanied Jason and Aisha on a double boat dive yesterday to Bluefish Valley and Bluefish Point. We were lucky enough to see a variety of wildlife including grey nurse sharks, a bronze whaler, cuttlefish, a turtle and plenty of fish. Jason was highly knowledgeable and briefed us on the dive sites very well. All the equipment and boat were to a high standard and Aisha was very helpful.

I watched these guys in the water over the weekend at Long Reef. Thankfully they anchored after us as we were able to see 16 grey nurse sharks peacefully cruising in the gutter as all of our groups lay along the top so to not disturb them and drive them away (this was the first time I had seen the sharks back at Longy in a year!!). Upon wrapping up our dive we decided to go back for one last look and found 3 or so sharks left in the gutter and the SDC dive groups swimming in and through forcing the sharks up and away.I have always been told not to go into the gutter and to preserve where these docile creatures just exist.Our guide signalled to the SDC guys to get out, this was met with a “calm down”.It was disgusting behaviour and such negligence for a stunning dive site and beautiful creatures. Whoever runs this company is a pirate, I’ve never been more disappointed in a dive company and humans in general. Shame you guys even exist with that lack of respect.

Jason is so professional guide. He know well how care fishes and customer. I just follow him. He care ahout me like princess. I’m so thankful about it. But i highly recommend preparing pill of seasickness when you go boat diving.It depends on person. For me it’s little hard. For sure that day have strong waves. Someone else calm of the waves😂. Anyway i saw sharks and seahorse and bluefishes and giant calamari etc…! It was amazing memory in sydney ocean😇

Booked from the UK, great communications, top notch gear (if renting), Jason and his team are the ones to dive with in and around Sydney, first class. One of the best operators I have dived with in nearly 1000 dives. Final observation is that Sydney doesn’t get enough good press for diving, just around the heads are some great sites and wildlife. Sydney Dive Charters know them all!

Going out on a Tec Dive recently with Sydney Dive Charters was fantastic! Jason and Aisha made the whole process smooth and easy – they know exactly what you need help with and when, lugging around heavy dive gear. They know where the best sites are in any given conditions and they make everyone feel welcome and a part of something fun. I highly recommend diving with Sydney Dive Charters!

I've only been diving with them once, but it was a very good trip! I hired their BCD and regulator - great quality, and it was even a wing BCD, rather than a jacket (pleasant surprise!). They accommodated having a drysuit regulator ready for me to go (not typical). I went on a Friday, so the boat was only half full, so plenty of space. Both crew and passengers were all friendly, and crew went above & beyond to help. Well maintained boat. One downside is we didn't split off into smaller groups when a few divers, both dives, got to 50 bar after 30 minutes. But to be fair, I didn't ask beforehand about how we can handle this situation. And based on the owner's reply to this review, sounds they're 100% cool with it!! Thanks so much Jason & crew!

As a tourist, I try to fit in diving wherever I'm going, and conduct a thorough research of reviews and dive sites from companies I dive with. From the start of the booking to end, I felt super comfortable with the team at Sydney Dive Charters. I called in for my reservation, and was given tips to arrive on time at the Rose Bay Quarry and also what equipment to rent (as the weather was quite cold). All the documentation was done through signing forms online (super convenient), with a phone number to reach directly (call/message) in case of any questions. On the dive boat, everything is set up already, so I didn't need to haul any tanks on from one location to another (which I experienced poorly with another company). While preparing for the dives, the team was great to help with the equipment in case we had trouble putting it on, and I felt well taken care of and safe diving! The visibility wasn't the greatest, but Jason still led the dives and was able to point out a few sharks we saw underwater. I would highly recommend Sydney Dive Charters.

Thank you Sydney Dive Charters for a wonderful experience! I hadn’t been for a dive in years and so I did a refresher course with shore dive. Jason was very patient and explained things really clearly which helped me get my confidence back. I also felt very safe and supported by him on our dive which helped me feel at ease and able to enjoy the dive. Saw lots of wonderful sea life and am well and truly hooked again!

03:44 01 Oct 23
I went diving with Jason and the team last week and it was absolutely amazing! They're very knowledgable about diving and showed us a fantastic dive site called "The Apartments". We saw so many different species of sharks which was an absolute highlight for someone like me who loves sharks. Will definitely dive with Sydney Dive Charters again soon!
Jack Harman
04:38 25 Sep 23
Had two awesome boat dives with Sydney Dive Charters. Jason and the team were extremely professional and reassuring to have in the water and gave divers a good sense of comfort when exploring the dive site! We saw whales and seals from the boat as well as Grey Nurse sharks, Port Jackson Sharks, Bulls rays and a huge school or Pomfret in water It was a great experience and will definitely be going again in the future!

Jason and Aisha were amazing. We had a wonderful day. The dives were absolutely memorable, with grey Nurse sharks, a cute cuttlefish, banded shrimps, a sponge gardens & many giant schools of fish. Everything was well organised. The diving equipment was top-level.We would go back with him for other dives around Sydney for sure.

07:39 01 Dec 22
Even with murky waters after a great swell, even without any sharks to be seen (i was really hoping to see some 😔), I still had a great time diving with the instructor. It was my first ever scuba dive, and despite my initial claustrophobia and discomfort Jason was such a comfort and encouragement that step by step I worked up to swimming (mostly) unassisted. We saw so many bright and colourful fish at Manly and I would highly recommend the experience to anyone who enjoys marine life. Just take it easy, stay calm, and trust the equipment and you'll have a great time.

Experienced and professional dive charting service. Dives sites were excellent and expertly guided by Jason despite harsher than usual conditions.If you are new to diving, get a few shore dives under your belt, as there is no hand-holding, and it is very much Go, Go, Go from the start! BCD, equipment is all assembled and ready on the board, as well as snacks and refreshments are provided.Overall a very positive no-nonsense experience. Especially recommended if you are an experienced or technical diver.

My girlfriend and I just did two boat dives with Jason last Sunday, the experience was amazing. I rented almost full set of gear from them, and Jason gave us a detailed briefing on the rental gear, which some dive operators do not provide such information but expect you to know their setup. Our trip was supposed to go to the Apartments, but in last minutes we had to change to another dive site as we were told that the water visibility was not very great in the past few days. I can confirm that as I did another dive two days before the Sunday dives, and the viz that day was too terrible that I had to call the dive. Jason used his best knowledge and picked a dive site, which had like 15 metre of visibility. We ended up encounter a lot of grey nurse sharks and some massive school of fish. The only downside from the experience was that the boat was a little bit small. But that was not really a problem to us as the boat was neat and we didnt really spend much time on it before we got into the water. Just remember if you are going to book with them, pack your things in a single bag as there is not much space. All in all, I would recommend them to my friends and will definitely book another dives with them in the future.

Did a double boat dive, and rented all the equipment. It was nice reminder from Jason to rent along the torch and hood, as the water was cold in Oct.The dive was beautiful, and we were given a nice cup of hot soup mid dive courtesy from Sydney Dive Charters. Really appreciate the experience.

Nothing in Sydney compares to Sydney Dive Charters! They pick you up from the wharf with all (high quality) rental gear good to go, so it’s super convenient! Also, whilst you can’t always guarantee good conditions, I’ve always had a good dive with Jason. On my second to last dive with Jason, it was raining and super windy, yet he was still able to find us a nice dive spot with great visibility! I’ll always book with Sydney Dive Charters when boat diving in Sydney!

Had a great time diving with Sydney Dive Charters. The boat was comfortable and well set up. Jason knows the area well, allowing us to make the most of the site.

The Apartments is an excellent site and will definitely go again with SDC to see more of what this amazing spot has to offer!

Sydney Dive Charters are my go-to for all boat dives in and around Sydney, the service is great and so hassle-free, no need to go pick up equipment somewhere beforehand, you just show up to the boat ramp and everything is ready! Jason is hands down the most knowledgeable person I have ever met when it comes to all things diving, Sydney sites and even Sydney history (wrecks etc). Both him and Kylie are are also great fun to be around, so the boat rides are never boring!

I booked Sydney Dive Charters for myself (a PADI instructor) and six students to complete the final two dives of the PADI Advanced Open Water course. Jason went over and above to help me. I had to rebook the dates due the Sydney lockdown and this was made as easy as possible given the uncertainty around restrictions. On the day he made sure to find dive sites that met my training requirements, gave my students tips about boat diving, and even stayed underwater to act as my DM on the deep dive when he had finished guiding his own divers back to the boat. The day before I had finished a bit late and was unable to get my tanks filled, Jason solved my problem for me last minute and had full tanks waiting for me on-board.Tip for new customers - don't forget to take your sea sickness pills!Thanks Jason and see you aboard for my next course!

Very friendly and professional service. The diving sites selection was pretty good too - managed to bump into a calony of nursing sharks and saw quite a big sea dragon.

A fabulous double boat dive! Saw some awesome marine life, helped by the clear viz.Wasn’t even that cold considering it’s the middle of winter.Kate and Jason were great on board, super helpful with setting up dive gear, particularly with a rookie diver like myself. They clearly know their stuff. Top notch gear too. Can’t fault anything!

Sydney Dive Charters gets a well deserved 5 stars! Jason and crew were absolutely professional providing us with top notch equipment, great advice and knowledge for top dive sites. We booked a double boat dive, they picked us up on time, the boat was spotless and everyone was super friendly. I highly recommend them and will certainly be diving with them again soon.

Sydney dive charters are a fantastic outfit. Very easy to book with. Loved their calendar so you could easily see what sites they were diving and when. Booked online and was contacted by Jason over text to confirm any missing details and to ask further questions.Got picked up from Rose Bay, all gear was on board already. Ordered full kit and went on a boat dive to the apartments.The kits is in fantastic order and the latest tech. I got a bit sea sick (don’t forget your travel tablets!) and the crew were wonderful at looking after me. Managed to do my two dives despite that. And saw so much - grey nurse sharks, wobbegongs, cuttlefish, a weedy sea dragon and an incredible jelly fish.Can’t recommend them enough and will certainly be using them again. Thanks for the great day out team!

We had such an amazing dive with Sydney Dive Charters this weekend - loads of sharks and a Weedy Sea Dragon! So professional, impeccable service, they clearly know the dive sites so well which comes with years of experience and local knowledge, makes such a difference to making a dive good to great, relaxed, efficient easy going. Boat was spotless and well maintained, rental equipment good quality. I look forward to diving with Jason and his team again soon. Thank you guys!

Great experience with a professional, friendly, and helpful dive team. Jason gave clear briefings, had a great boat set up that is perfect for diving, and provided top of the line hire gear. Jason has great local knowledge, and makes safety a priority. Looking forward to diving with them again.

Amazing diving trip with Jason and his crew! Great gear and logistic. Discovered some of the most beautiful underwater creatures. Jason knows where to find the best spots in Sydney bay and how to improvise when schedule doesn’t go as planned.

Thank you Jason and Kate for an amazing diving experience. As a relative beginner, I was a little nervous about my double-dive, but the team were so friendly and warm that I immediately felt comforable. The diving equipment was all new and state of the art, which made a world of difference, and the dives and visibility were spectacular.I look forward to coming back for more dives with this professional, passionate and kind team. Thanks again!

Great day out & a diving experience with Jason. His boat dive instructions are very clear and precise and helps every diver before entry and exit. The best part is when the divers are below, Jason makes sure that there's no other non-diving boat in the vicinity & keeps all the divers feel safe to surface. Gr8 job mate!

This was our third time diving with Jason & Sydney Dive charters and we're looking forward to many more. Jason, a true dive professional, has an enormous wealth of diving knowledge and runs the dives smoothly and safely. We have done a few courses on his dive charters and have the utmost respect for him and the charters he runs. We thoroughly enjoy the diving and information and knowledge we gain every time we dive with Sydney Dive charters.

I’ve never seen such a well organised, clean and tidy boat which to me, means someone really knows what they’re doing, I’m in good knowledgeable, safe hands and they take pride in their work and I respect that. Jason and his dive boat are a 5-star AAA operation that won’t disappoint.

Great diving. Jason is very professional and has great experience that allowed us to dive in safety without giving up a more challenging dive site despite tough weather conditions. He is always dedicated to the customers happiness and safety and always goes an extra mile to help out. Great addition to the team with the Dive Master Matt that perfectly guided our dives today. We saw heaps of sharks and a really giant cuttlefish. The boat is very comfortable and well equipped also with a toilet available. In addition the rental gear available from Jason is excellent quality.
