How to Dive Little Manly

Overview

Little Manly Cove is a protected shore dive ideal for new divers and training. Just minutes from Manly Wharf, this sheltered bay features a gentle sandy slope with scattered rocks and seagrass beds that host seahorses, juvenile fish, and rays. Averaging 3 m deep and maxing around 6 m, it’s also a popular site for snorkelling or equipment check-outs before heading to deeper dives nearby.
