Sidemount Dives

SIDEMOUNT

Sidemount Dives

Sydney's first exclusive Sidemount shore dives — small groups, guided by Sidemount instructors.

Sidemount Exclusive Small Groups Sydney's First

Want to join a Sidemount group led by one of our Sidemount instructors? We're the first in Greater Sydney to run double guided shore dives exclusively for Sidemount divers. There are plenty of great sites to choose from — let us know if you have a request.

Guided Sidemount Shore Dives

  • Our most popular dive sites include Gordon's Bay, Bare Island (La Perouse), Little Bay, Kurnell and Clifton Gardens.
  • Divers have more fun and feel more relaxed in smaller groups, so we limit our shore dives to five certified divers per group.
  • We meet here at Dive Centre Bondi in the morning (8am weekends or 9am weekdays) to organise equipment and choose dive sites based on weather and conditions.
  • After completing two guided shore dives, the day usually finishes around 3pm.

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?
The guide and the dives. You can select any additional equipment rental during the booking process.
Do I need certification?
Sidemount certification is recommended for these dives — bring your own harness or ask about rental. Not yet Sidemount certified? Get in touch and we can help you get started.
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?
They're very welcome to meet us at the dive site, but unfortunately we don't have a spare seat in the vehicle for them.
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.
