Dive Sites in Sydney

Gordon’s Bay

Gordons Bay is one of Sydney’s most beloved shore dives, hidden between Coogee and Clovelly. The sheltered cove forms part of an aquatic reserve and offers calm water, rocky reefs, and abundant marine life. Divers can follow a 600-metre Underwater Nature Trail marked by a chain that leads around the best parts of the bay. With easy entry, shallow depths, and plenty to see, it’s an ideal site for Open Water divers and those refining their skills.
