Description

The Far East is an advanced dive site in the Port Stephens area, NSW. At 30 meters depth, this remote reef section offers some of the most pristine diving in the region. The exposed location attracts impressive pelagic activity including grey nurse sharks, schools of kingfish, and occasionally hammerhead sharks. The rocky terrain features dramatic walls covered in gorgonian fans and deep-water sponges. Strong currents and depth demand advanced certification and experience.
