DIVE SMART Castle Hill
Some of our favourite sites around Sydney
Most weekends will find us diving around our harbour city. Sydney has some easy, yet beautiful shore dives and plenty of boat dive sites along the coastline just outside the heads of the harbour. Sydney's water temperature ranges from 16 degrees Celsius in winter to 22 degrees in summer - a 5mm wetsuit is fine, with hood and extra layering for winter if you feel the cold.
