Diving in Sydney- North Bondi

Friday, December 10th, 2010

North Bondi is easily one of our Faverouite dive sites. The local residents that make North Bondi its home include the majestic Weedy Sea Dragon, which is almost exclusive to the NSW coastline. These beautiful creatures are part of the seahorse family and display a fantastic array of colours making them a huge attraction for local, interstate and overseas underwater enthusiasts. One of the friendliest and most curious of all the fish at North Bondi is the protected Blue Groper. One in particular, who is affectionately known amongst the local divers as Bluey, appears on a regular basis looking for food and attention.

A few hundred meters east of Mermaid Rock about 12 – 15m below the surface, you can find two cave systems, Cathedral Cave and Slot Cave.

Cathedral Cave is about 20m – 30m long. A gap in the top of the cave allows some light to enter making this a fantastic site for photography. Slot Cave is a large swim through starting at about 15m and exiting at 10m. Within both caves you can find schools of Bullseyes, Pomfrets, Damselfish and Yellowtail. Large boulders play host to fantastic sponge life and the colourful nudibranchs, ideal for macro photography.
