Magic Point is synonymous with sharks diving! Best known for its Grey Nurse sharks, but also Port Jackson Sharks, Crested Horn Sharks and Wobbegong sharks. It must be noted the sharks at Magic Point are wild creatures which migrate up and down the coast and it cannot be guaranteed that you will see them on any particular dive.
The dive site itself can start as shallow as 8 metres depending on where the boat drops its anchor. From there you cruise east and drop down to 15 metres with the aid of a wall. Along here you will find a larger and a smaller cave where the Grey Nurse Sharks hang about.
Be careful not to get to close, they can be timid for such an impressive animal. Continue east and the seafloor becomes covered with small boulders, large schools of various fish can be found cruising through and around the various rock formations, at a depth of 24 metres the sand line starts. Weedy sea dragons, rays, and blue gropers are common sights along the sandy edges.
All rental dive gear is needed to be collected from the shop. Transportation is not included for this dive. Our dive boat pickup for the majority of our dives is located only five minutes from the dive centre. Head south from the shop down Rocky Point Road to San Souci Park. The pickup will be at fisherman’s wharf at San Souci Park. There are plenty of parking spots available.
