Diving with sharks at Manly SEA LIFE Sanctuary, Sydney, is an exhilarating experience, and one of only a few experiences worldwide where you're guaranteed an underwater encounter with sharks. Our colony of Grey Nurse Sharks range in size from 1 to 3 metres, and when you do your shark dive with us, you get to enter their domain - without cages! Dive in and discover the secrets of Sydney Harbour in Underwater Sydney, home to octopus, seahorses, lionfish, sharks, cuttlefish and more. Peer into our new rehabilitation facilities to see some of the success stories of our breed and rescue efforts. These new facilities allow Manly SEA LIFE Sanctuary to rescue and rehabilitate more marine animals than ever before. Manly is lucky enough to be a breeding habitat for Little Penguins, and is one of the last colonies on the mainland of Australia! The local population of Little Penguins is around 60 breeding pairs, and they come ashore to nest every night between July and February. Manly's Little Penguin colony has been listed as an endangered population, and the local area has been declared a critical habitat for the population.

We commence our tour on the magnificent Sydney Harbour, departing Cockle Bay Marina, Darling Harbour, Harbour Master Steps at Circular Quay and Manly East Pier. Gaze at our amazing city and marvel at its beauty as we exit out of the heads and within a short time we are out into the open ocean into whale watching country. Revel in the excitement of the first whale sighting as we spot our first pod on their annual migration. The first sign that whales are around is usually the blow. A humpback breathes through the blow hole on top of its head. When it expels its breath, the resulting burst of air and water vapour can be seen for as far away as two kilometres on a clear day. Our experienced staff has over 15 years of whale watching experience and will give you an informative commentary of whale behaviour and are dedicated to providing you with a close encounter with these gentle giants of the sea. There is complimentary tea and coffee on board and as we return back from our cruise we point out the highlights of Sydney and all it has to offer.
