About Halifax

This is a novice dive even though it carried a serious current warning and can get a bit deep in spots - 18mtrs to 27mtrs. It also doubles as a night dive. The entry is simple, and then it's a bit of a snorkel to decent which hits 30m. The coral is as prolific as the marine life. Weekends this dive site can be a mad house. There are plenty of walls here at 6, 10, 15 and 21 with lots of nook sand crannies to explore. Another entry option is at high tide in Sydney harbor at Fort Denison and doing a half hour drift.
