My take away from six months in Sydney is that I've got to say I think the local diving is entirely underrated. Shelly Beach is the best shore access, but definitely get out on the boats into the apartments, magic point, etc. Some of the best diving I've ever done. Man, I'm nostalgic just thinking about those 90 minute dives watching weedy sea dragons out in Manly. Definitely need to get back there someday.
