Boat & Shore Dives
Sydney's topography leads to some amazing diving both right off the shore and from a boat. With an average of fifty different Sydney diving activities monthly, Abyss Scuba Diving offers a wide variety of PADI courses, FREE dives led by a divemaster, boat dives, weekend trips, freediving, and more! We are prepared to accept a wide range of diver certifications as long as you have sufficient proof of your certification for that dive; we can also organize a buddy if necessary.
If it has been more than six months since your last dive and you have completed fewer than twenty dives, we highly recommend taking a refresher (reactivate) course. This will ensure that you maintain your skills and stay updated in the most effective and enjoyable manner possible.
Sydney Dive Schedule
If conditions make the planned site unsuitable, the DM/Skipper will move the dive to the next best site. There is no refund if we do not make it to the planned dive site, as we cannot guarantee the specific spot on a given day.
Transport is not included in this dive. If you do not have your own transport, the best option is an uber to and from the site because of social distancing.

One of the better of the deeper wrecks off Sydney is the SS Kelloe. The Kelloe was a iron hulled collier. On the 13th of May 1902 the Kelloe went down after a collision with the Dunmore. Sitting on a sandy bottom broken by bits of the adjacent edge of the rocky reef, its depth is 48 to 51 metres. The wreck is sitting upright with the bow facing north. The main features of the wreck is the very large boiler and the engine. The boiler rises at least 3 to 4 metres from the bottom and is intact. The hull is opened out and is pretty messy and flat. On the eastern side the hull sits up a metre or two but otherwise, the main part of the wreck is absolutely flat. There is a large hole in the hull just forward of the stern that you can swim through. If conditions make the planned site unsuitable, then another site will be selected for the dive.
