Magic Point
Magic Point and Wedding Cake Island, home to the endangered grey nurse shark! They may appear fierce, but these beautiful sharks are not the ferocious man-eaters they were once thought to be. In fact, they are often referred to as 'Labradors of the sea', and only use their fang-like teeth to feed on small fish and squid. Magic Point is one of 10 critical habitat areas for grey nurse shark, and the last known location in Sydney where they gather to feed, mate and pup. Take this opportunity to see these rare sharks up close!!

The Apartments
The Apartments is a dive that's guaranteed to impress even the most jaded of divers. Beginning at a depth of about 12 metres, and shelving away to 22 metres, huge rocks and boulders lean into the reef, forming caverns and swim-throughs. The most notable is aptly named, 'The Cathedral', a four metre swim-through whose vaulted ceiling and walls are lined with yellow commensal zoanthids. Sea-tulips are in abundance in this area and there are regular sightings of large pelagics, wobbegongs, and vast schools of fish.
