Freshwater is a Shore dive over rocks and along a wall. It starts at the channel by the pump at the ocean pool. The shallow channel quickly gives way to rocks, boulders and ledges along the wall. Can be done as a there and back, or one way off the rocks and right to the channel by the pool. Fauna can be a bit hit and miss, though occasionally stingarees, shovelnose rays and blue groper are seen.

Manly Bommie at Manly is a shallow, squat bommie 50m offshore dive. Rectangular plateau of rock with crevices running east-west surrounded by sand. Lots to see in the crevices, take your time and just keep going around. Fauna appropriate to the terrain in the crevices and deep gutters: Sergeant Baker, morwong, crimson-banded and Maori wrasse. Kelpy rocks and boulders, of various sizes, with the sandy base into the bay which is 7m max so best dived at high tide if you have a choice.

Shelly Beach at Manly is a Scenic Shore dive. Two separate dives with different terrains: North Side is boulders to sand; south, along the Esplanade, is rocky and kelpy. A large variety of mid-size temperate reef fish can be found; lots of juveniles; occasional Bull Ray, Dusky Whalers and Dolphin. Blue Fish Point Wall at Manly is a colourful wall dive with sponge and a few soft corals, and lots of little stuff. Scuba divers carry their cylinders on the Bare Island Bridge after finishing a dive at the La Perouse area.

Bare Island attracts divers hoping to spot the elusive weedy sea dragon, a gorgeous creature with vibrantly colored stripes, found only in certain areas of Australia—they live all around Bare Island, among the kelp beds and can be seen in most dives. Your odds are good of finding a shark too, with Port Jackson sharks, wobbegongs, and even dusky whalers seen frequently around the island.

Most dives around Bare Island are to a depth of around ft. This dive site is easily reached by boat, giving advanced divers access to the largest naval warship to be sunk within the Sydney region. Large openings have been cut into the hull, allowing divers access to areas like the guided missile area, engine room, and bridge deck.

In the winter months, you have a chance to see migrating humpback whales, but divers can regularly spot kingfish, bannerfish, octopus, and sharks.
