When you’re lucky, you’ll get to see a shark. The Solitary Islands will often bless us with plenty of Grey Nurse Sharks, and wobbeygongs. Although “incidents” with sharks can occur, they are very, very rare. If you see a shark it’s passing through and a beautiful sight to see.

All year is a great time! In colder months, despite the chillier water temperature, we see more Grey Nurse Sharks. A lot of people prefer to dive when the water is warmer, but it is spectacular all year round.

With the necessary training and experience, the limit for recreational scuba diving is 40 metres. Beginning scuba divers stay shallower than about 18 metres unless you are a Junior Scuba Diver then it is 12 metres. Although these are the limits, most of the diving sites are no deeper than 16-18 metres where the water’s warmer and the colors are brighter, and we will tailor to people’s experience and certifications when determining how deep to go.
