Shelly Beach

Shelly Beach is Sydney's most famous beginner-friendly shore dive, located next to Manly Beach. This protected marine reserve at 14 meters depth features a diverse rocky reef teeming with marine life habituated to divers. The site is renowned for its friendly blue groper, giant cuttlefish, wobbegong sharks, and Port Jackson sharks in winter. Easy beach access, gentle slope, and typically calm conditions make it the go-to dive site for Sydney's dive schools and visiting divers.
