Description

Shark Alley is an advanced dive site in the Port Stephens area, NSW. At 15 meters depth, this site lives up to its name with regular encounters with grey nurse sharks that aggregate in the rocky gutters and overhangs. The narrow channel between rock formations creates a dramatic setting where sharks cruise through at close range. Strong surge and currents can occur, requiring advanced skills. Beyond sharks, the site hosts wobbegong sharks, rays, and large schools of fish.
