About this trip: 25th - 28nd January 2024
The dive site
We head out to Montague Island marine reserve for a double boat dive on Saturday & Sunday morning! After a 25 minute boat ride we will arrive at the island where the seals can be found.
Marine life
Montague Island has a wide variety of marine life. In the cooler months, dive with up to 1,800 very friendly and playful Fur Seals, or even witness Humpback whales and pods of dolphins. During the warmer months, the warm currents bring a mass of tropical fish and pelagics as well as the nutrients that feed the coral, nudibranchs, giant tube worms and gorgonea fans. From February also witness Grey Nurse sharks, occasional turtles, sunfish and large schools of kingfish, trevally.
What you will see
Home to the largest fur seal colony on the NSW coast, Montague island is a breeding ground for around 15 bird species – while dolphins, whales and endangered Grey Nurse Sharks can all be seen at various times of the year. Most of the seals are at a depth of 3 – 15m, which provides a great dive experience for all dive levels.
