Fairlight is a beginner-friendly shore dive in Sydney's Manly area, located in the sheltered waters of North Harbour. This easy-access site at 14 meters depth features a mix of sandy seagrass beds and rocky reef that supports diverse temperate marine life. Divers regularly encounter seahorses, pipefish, cuttlefish, blue-ringed octopus, and nudibranchs. The calm, protected waters make it an excellent night dive location where nocturnal species like octopus and decorator crabs become active.

Absolutely stunning dive site. The visibility was exceptional and we spotted several species we had never seen before. Will definitely come back.
Great spot for advanced divers. Currents can be tricky but the marine life makes it worth it.
One of the best dive sites in the region. Highly recommended.
