DIVE SITES
Forster has wall diving, underwater caves, archways, shipwrecks, pinnacles, tropical and temperate varieties of fishlife, colonies of Grey Nurse sharks that live here all year and heaps more.
Most times of the year the water has an impressive clarity that makes observing and photographing the marine life an unforgettable experience.

The main attractions are the Grey Nurse Sharks that can be seen all year round. The Pinnacle is an excellent dive site located offshore where you pass schools of pelagic fish during your descent down the anchor line to a depth of 30 metres where the Grey Nurse Sharks wait to be observed by YOU!
Seal Rocks is world renowned for its wall to wall Grey Nurse Sharks and amazing underwater terrain, we have 20+ sites with new ones being found all the time, this truly is the land that time forgot (luckily). Blue Groper, Moray Eels, Turtles and numerous other varieties of fish can be found at Latitude Reef.

Find "Agro" the tame Loggerhead Turtle that swims around the bommies of Idol Bay. Bennetts Head Bommie is a good site to watch colourful small marine life such as Nudibranchs and Anemones. And there are many more sites to explore.
