Bass & Flinders

No reviews yetAustralia, NSW, Sydney

You can start diving here and drift (at high tide) to Oak Park. Located on the most southern tip of the Cronulla peninsula. Park in front of the Bass & Flinders Point. You can dive this site all the way round to the Oak Park site - also on this website. A fairly long dive you'll need a big tank or good air consumption to do it - typically takes and hour. You won't go much over 6 to 7 meters, so it should be doable by most. Follow the sand reef line till you hit the BIG rock wall of Oak Park at 6 meters and then turn left - heading west - and go home to the pool.

Windy Point

No reviews yetAustralia, NSW, Sydney

Visibility varied at different points in the dive, the gutter was clear and the boulders was clear however the swim along the reef edge had low visibility. Cronulla. Park in Via Mare and make your way down to the waters edge on the left side (north) of the observation deck. Upon entering the water you will find a deep narrow gutter that leads out at approx 55 degrees. This turns into a sand gutter with plenty of rays. Follow the reef around to the right 150 - 200 metres to a drop off and explore amongst the boulders for Port Jackson Sharks.

Oak Park

No reviews yetAustralia, NSW, Sydney

Oak Park is one of the most popular dive sites on the Cronulla Peninsula. It's also a great site for night dive. The 1st reef at Oak has some interesting features. There is an old rock pile, some nice sandy parts good for practicing gear removal and diving techniques. Some good ledges that have some large undercut crevices exist along the main wall that can contain many types of fish. It has some nice sponge gardens and a good spot for numerous nudibranchs if you look closely. If you do make it out to the 2nd reef and get along the wall to the north you might just get to the broken urinal and then the cave. Located almost at the end of the Cronulla Peninsula on the southern outskirts of Sydney. Enter at the back of the Pool at the end of Jibbon Street.
