Manly Sealife Sanctuary At Ocean World

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.
