Scuba Diving in Terrigal

Imagine yourself kneeling down on the sand feeding hundreds of small fish with crumbs of bread from your hands. Have a look around at the small stingrays swimming by and the tiny fish with whiskers fanning through the sand looking for worms whilst the Blue Gropers tempt you with their eyes to feed them!

The seabed of the Central Coast is an underwater wonderland with dive locations ranging from sponge and coral covered reefs to dramatic drop offs with underwater caves and swim throughs. Many ships have foundered off the central coast and their skeletal remains can be found on the sea bed. These then become artificial reefs and havens for great schools of fish.

Below is a short list of some of the most popular dive sites on the Central Coast:

Foggy Cave 39m – Bateau Bay – A well known, grey nurse shark dive, from March to April.
Skillion Cave 20m – Terrigal Headland – This is a well known dive site.
Poles Reef 14m-21m – Wamberal point – A pretty shallow dive, with an underwater headland that attracts a dense school of yellowtail and bulls eyes.
Fifeshire Reef 14m-18m North Avoca – A series of fingers of reef with sandy gutters in between.
The Pinnacle 17m-27m – Bateau Bay – This curious rock formation comes up of the sea bed at 27m like a block of apartments.
Galava Wreck 50m – 3nm off Terrigal – The prettiest of our local wrecks covered in yellow soft coral, well broken up since it sank in 1927.
