The promise of this Shelly Beach dive is spotting dusky whalers if it's the right time. It's in the suburb of Fairy Bower lies south of Manly where you'll head past the wharf to get to the site. Second street left is Victoria, first right, Darley Street) and the road leads straight up to Manly Hospital. A bit away from the bottom of the steer on your left is Cliff Street at the end is Bower. Take a right into it and head down till you see Bower lane. Once you are in the water - head out north east until you reach the reef which you can follow for ten minutes until you turn around. There are sharks around always a meter or two away from the floor. If you follow the reef to where you began ands head over the slope along its western side you'll see plenty of rocks and tunnels in the wall to explore. Further along is a 3m long concrete sewer pipe and a motorcycle! The reef keeps heading out south to Manly beach but your turn around mark is 45 m.
