Whale Of A Time is a shore entry reef dive in New South Wales sitting at 18 to 22 metres, with visibility swinging between 5 and 25 metres depending on conditions. Moderate to strong current and surf entry demand solid buoyancy control and situational awareness, and decompression management is a real consideration at depth. The reef rewards methodical divers who slow down and look closely. Weedy seadragons and pygmy pipehorses are among the standout finds, alongside anglerfish, nudibranch, and octopus. Giant cuttlefish, moray eels, blue groper, eagle rays, and Port Jackson sharks round out a genuinely varied temperate assemblage.

Voodoo is a reef and wall site that drops away to 28 metres, combining a shallow reef top with a proper wall and drop-off that rewards divers who push deeper. Visibility runs 10 to 25 metres, with the clearest conditions typically in June and August. Moderate current is the norm, but it can build quickly, so solid buoyancy and drift experience matter here. Wobbegong and Port Jackson sharks rest along the wall, bull rays cruise the sandy transitions, and Australian giant cuttlefish are a reliable find. Sponge gardens dominate the deeper structure, with nudibranchs scattered throughout. Kingfish and Eastern blue groper work the mid-water column.

Tabbagai Gap combines natural reef structure with artificial reef elements to create a varied dive across 18 to 24 metres of water. Visibility swings considerably, anywhere from 10 to 30 metres, and current can run hard through the gap, so reading conditions before dropping in is essential. The sponge gardens are a highlight, providing dense cover that attracts wobbegong sharks resting on the substrate and Port Jackson sharks wedged into crevices. Weedy seadragons move through the structure alongside eastern blue groper, while nudibranchs and Australian giant cuttlefish reward slower, methodical searches. Surf entry makes a boat the only sensible approach.

Voodoo Wide is a multi-feature site combining wall, reef, cavern, and drop-off terrain that rewards divers who can work with moderate currents and surge. Depths run from 20 to 30 metres with visibility reaching 15 to 25 metres on good days. The site's structure creates sheltered pockets where Australian Giant Cuttlefish, Weedy Seadragons, and various nudibranchs congregate, while Port Jackson Sharks, Wobbegong Sharks, and Nurse Sharks favour the deeper sections and cavern recesses. Yellowtail Scad and Eastern Blue Groper round out the fish life. Rip currents, strong surge, and depth make this a boat-access site suited to experienced divers only.

The Cutting at Farkernell is a wall and cave dive that drops to between 24 and 29 metres, making it strictly advanced territory. Visibility ranges from 10 to 30 metres depending on conditions, and while currents are typically mild, they can strengthen without much warning. The wall and cave structure provides excellent habitat for wobbegongs, Port Jackson sharks, and moray eels tucked into crevices, while southern eagle rays and bull rays cruise the deeper water. Giant cuttlefish, blue groper, and nudibranch add detail to the reef sections, and schools of yellowtail are a regular presence mid-water. August tends to bring the clearest conditions.

Boat Harbour's main draw is its cave system, which shelters a surprisingly varied mix of temperate species in depths ranging from 3 to 17 metres. Visibility runs 5 to 15 metres depending on conditions, and a moderate current keeps the water clean but demands you pick your timing carefully. Inside and around the cave, wobbegong sharks and octopus tuck into ledges, while Port Jackson sharks are a reliable find. Weedy sea dragons and giant cuttlefish patrol the shallower areas, and eagle rays pass through the wider sections. Surge and surf at the shore entry require a confident, controlled entry and exit.

Xanadu Reef drops from 26 to 44 metres along a wall structure that puts you firmly in deep diving territory, so gas management and buoyancy control matter here. Moderate current runs across the site, and surge can push you around on the wall, but that same water movement feeds the sponge gardens and draws in pelagics. Yellowtail scad and kingfish work the mid-water column while wobbegong sharks and Port Jackson sharks hold tight to the structure below. Keep your eyes on crevices for Eastern blue devilfish and weedy seadragons, and scan the reef face for nudibranchs and Australian giant cuttlefish. Visibility ranges from 5 to 15 metres depending on conditions.

Yena Extension is the deeper counterpart to the main Yena site, dropping to 23 metres along a wall structure that rewards intermediate divers willing to push beyond the shallows. Depths run from 15 to 23 metres, so you'll want to keep an eye on your air and bottom time. Visibility ranges from 5 to 20 metres depending on conditions, with the clearer days offering a proper look at the reef and wall. Various reef species make their home here, and the absence of current means you can take your time working the wall without fighting the water. Access is by boat, and boat traffic in the area is the primary hazard to stay aware of during ascents.
