sites. With over 15 sites to dive only 5 minutes off shore,
Bicheno caters for all dive levels from beginner through to
instructor.
Dive Site:
Isle de Phoque
Description:
Located between Maria Island and Schouten Island, Isle de Phoques is an exposed island riddled with cave sytems and hosts a number of playful seals. An excellent dive if weatehr allows. Suitable for all divers.
Dive Site:
MV Lake Illawarra
Description:
On the 5th of January 1975 at 9.27 pm the MV Lake Illawarra,
under the captaincy of Boleslaw Pelc, crashed into the 18th and
19th pylons of the Tasman Bridge bringing down a 127 m span of
the bridge and sinking the ore carrier.
Today the Illawarra rests on the silt under the bridge in 35 m of
water. Light here penetrates down to around 26 m (but a torch is
still essential!) which is conveniently level with the ship deck at the
bottom of the bridge. The bridge itself spans up to 15 m with
numeroues port holes to look into on the way up. The smoke
stacks on top raise up to around 10 m. Moving from stern to bow,
and with some close examination, the ships radar domes and
hoists can be found. The ship itself is home to a surprising amount
of marine life including yellow jewel anenomes, crayfish and
cowfish.
Dive Site:
Hippolytes
Description:
Incredible structure, sponges and abundant fish life make this
one of the most stunning sites in the world
Dive Site:
Deep Glen Bay
Description:
A stunning 35m site with myriad sponges and a very impressive
wall leading back into a convoluted bay.
Dive Site:
Eaglehawk Neck
Description:
Provides access to a wide variety of beautiful sites from open
water to technical.
Dive Site:
SS Nord
Description:
If you are into wrecks then this is a great dive. The SS
Nord is an 81 metre long, 12.75 metre wide, 1,840 ton
freighter. It sank in the afternoon of 7 November 1915
after hitting 'The Needle' just near 'The Hippolytes'.
The wreck is for experienced divers comfortable with
bluewater ascents with maximum depths around 41m.
We recommend the use of redundant air systems for
safety. There is plenty of structure to investigate and the
wreck hosts many schools of fish.
Dive Site:
Mistaken Cape
Description:
The Easternmost point of Maria Island. Big and bold -
an awesome dive.
Dive Site:
Betsey Wrecks
Description:
Scuttled boats, barges and bridge sections over the last
50 or so years make this a fun rust graveyard.
Dive Site:
Cape Sonnerat
Description:
Cape Sonnerat is the easternmost point of Schouten
Island and the cliffs plunge down to well into the
40+ meter range. The location and the dive are
spectacular with a huge shear wall heading to the
deep sand below.
