Guided or unguided boat dives to Sydney's offshore reefs and wrecks.

Guided or Unguided Offshore Reefs & Wrecks 20-30m Depth

Dive Centre Bondi runs guided and unguided boat dives to Sydney's offshore reefs and wrecks, at depths of 20 to 30 metres. Guided trips suit newly certified Advanced Open Water divers or visitors to Sydney; unguided trips are for experienced local divers with their own buddy team. Each charter includes two dives with a break in between.

Discover Adventure!

Guided Boat Dives: our team of friendly Divemasters and Instructors will greet you on the day, help organise your equipment, provide briefings and take you on two guided dives exploring one of the numerous reefs or wrecks around Sydney. Unguided Boat Dives: these dives are available for experienced or regular Sydney divers who have buddies or teammates to go diving with. Boat diving experience is a must. Note: transportation is not included with unguided boat dives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find quick answers to the most common questions about our courses, scheduling, prerequisites, and gear.

How do I book a dive?
Pick a date on the booking widget, complete the form, and you'll receive a confirmation email.
What's included in the price?
All scuba gear, tanks, weights and instructor guidance. Personal kit (mask, snorkel, fins, computer) optional — rental available.
Do I need certification?
Yes — you'll need Advanced Open Water certification (or equivalent) and to have dived within the last 12 months to join our boat dives.
What if conditions aren't safe?
We monitor conditions daily. If the dive can't go ahead safely, we'll reschedule at no cost.
What if I need to reschedule?
Rescheduling is free as long as it's more than 72 hours before your dive. Inside 72 hours there's a $50 transfer fee.
Can a friend or partner join for the day if they're not diving?
Unfortunately not on our boat dives — every spot on the boat is limited and reserved for divers.
I want to do this privately, or with just my friends — can that be done?
Yes! We run private dives and tours for individuals and groups when the scheduled dates don't line up with your availability. Get in touch and we'll arrange one for you.
Where will we dive?
This depends on the conditions on the day. We always pick the best and safest site for the swell, wind and visibility at the time, and we'll confirm where we're heading on the morning.
Where should we park?
Ocean Street North is your best bet — free parking all day, a short walk from the dive centre. From there you can either come with us to the dive site or take your own car.
Can I use my own vehicle?
Definitely. Meet us at the dive centre to get fitted for your equipment — we'll transport it to the site and back for you. If you drive yourself you can head off straight from the dive site instead of coming back to the centre for the clean-up.
Should I come earlier to try on the equipment?
No need. The start time is the time we want you at the dive centre — fitting your equipment is already built into it.
I don't have a dive buddy — is that okay?
Absolutely. We'll pair you with another diver in the group or with the instructor running the session. Coming on your own is completely normal here.
I don't have any equipment — can I still join?
Yes. We have a big range of scuba equipment available for you to use.
