What weβre about
Join a group of likeminded Snorkelling and freediving enthusiasts. Join us here and on Facebook where you can connect and engage with the community between dives https://www.facebook.com/share/g/hrN5XcUgQmFpZJAq/
We will try to meet each weekend at one of the many fantastic Snorkelling locations across Sydney and the occasional road trip further afield. Our home base will be Shelly Beach at Manly, as it would have to be, arguably, the best place in Sydney to snorkel. Other sites will include; Clovelly, Gordon's Bay, Freshwater, Chowder Bay, Little Bay, Malabar, Maroubra, Bare Island, Fairlight Beach and many others. The calm waters of Shelly Beach are ideal for the beginner and advanced alike. We would love for you to join our group and come explore the many underwater treasures Sydney has to offer.

Bushrangers Bay, Bass Point Tourist Rd, Shell Cove, NS, AUπ¦π¦π¦ Snorkel with grey nurse sharks at Bushrangers Bay. π¦π¦π¦
It really is quite the experience snorkeling so close to these amazing gentle creatures. Hopefully there will be plenty of them about.
Bushrangers Bay is located at Bass Point near Shellharbour, approx 85km or an hour and three quarters south of Sydney. It is a Marine Reserve, with plenty of sea life. We should be able to car pool to organise transport. Please feel free to post up messages here if you require or are able to offer a lift.
We can have lunch at Shellharbour Ocean Beach Hotel afterwards.

This time is close to the peak of the high tide where the visibility should be best and the current at its lowest.
Feel free to stay around Oak Park if you don't feel confident with the snorkel to Salman Haul Bay. Or if it is rough there, feel free to walk round to Salmon Haul Bay where it is much more protected and meet us there.
It's an easy entry point to the right of the rock pool. We can explore here for awhile before we head off on our journey.
Once we reach our destination we can again explore for awhile then head back to Oak Park via the costal walking track.
We can grab a coffee and something to eat after at a nearby cafe. Or follow the path to Cronulla.
Looking forward to seeing you there.

Join us at 11:00am on the beach in front of the rockpools at the south end (https://goo.gl/maps/7e9CeTZYWLXAELhMA).
Parking is available in the South Maroubra Surf Club carpark (https://goo.gl/maps/Ay8Q8BjH5NsYGGBL9)
The location is open to the sea and so is dependent on prevailing conditions but there is a rockpool with plenty to see should the sea be too rough.
Afterwards, please feel free to meet with other members and continue the day with a stroll along the beach or the headland and have lunch at the kiosk and restaurant.
