Varied diving in the beautiful sapphire coast of New South New South Wales.

We did six dives here, four wreck dives exploring two sunken tug boats,  and a couple of shore dives under the pier at Taritha.

The two tug boats, the Tasmin Hauler and the Henry Bolte, were sunk back in the late 80’s and lie in about 30m of water on a sandy bottom.  The Tasmin Hauler is largely in tact and full penetration is possible, though I didn’t bother, not having done any wreck experience yet.  The Henry Bolte landed on it’s side, and a big storm in the 1990’s further broke up the wreck.   The highlight of the Tasmin Hauler is the massive propellor, pictured in the gallery above.  Many anemones and reef fish have made the tugs their home

the pier dive at nearby Taritha is well worth doing, with a stunning assortment of fish and marine life.  Most common species were octopus, bull rays, , plenty of Nudibranchs, some strange frilly worms and a variety of reef fish life and the occasional seal thrown in for good measure
