Sydney is a wonderful tourist destination since there are so many interesting activities that are available for anyone that wants to try something special. Shark diving is one of the opportunities less considered in Sydney but an option that you will want to consider in the event that you want something that is adrenaline filled. Here are 2 options that you will appreciate, one for those that do not necessarily want to dive and one for those that want to experience an encounter with the predator at close distances.

You will only be able to take part in the certified shark dive if you are certified. If you are not, we recommend that you consider the night dive. It is available from December to February.

You should not worry about visibility since you will see everything you want to see.
