How to Dive Terrigal Haven

Overview

Terrigal Haven is a premier, protected shore dive on the NSW Central Coast, known for its easy beach entry and depths ranging from 3 to 15 metres. The site features a diverse underwater landscape of sand flats, seagrass beds, and rocky reef walls, making it a vital nursery for marine life and an ideal spot for both training and macro photography. Divers frequently encounter large resident bull rays, seahorses, and schooling fish, with a notable giant anchor resting against the reef wall at 10 metres.
