The Best Time to Dive in Sydney

 

Are you a scuba diver? If so, then you're in luck - Sydney offers great diving all year round!

But if you're looking for the best diving experience, stick around between July and September when the flat seas and amazing visibility make for an unforgettable dive.

Plus, the westerlies during that time bring the perfect conditions for exploring many of Sydney's sites that are inaccessible at other times of the year. So, mark your calendars and get ready to dive into some of the most spectacular waters in the world!

So, providing you wear the appropriate thermal protection then, you should plan to make diving in Sydney a year-round activity. 

Best Time to See Specific Marine Life

If you're looking to see specific marine life while scuba diving in Sydney, knowing when they are most prevalent can help with your timing

You should go during warmer months for Grey Nurse sharks and wobbegong sharks. Baby Port Jacksons also come out of their eggs throughout January-February, whereas their parents come into Sydney waters to mate between July and October. Giant cuttlefish are around between July and September!
