About this site
Shark Island sits just off the coast near Nelson Bay in Port Stephens, New South Wales, on Australia's southeast coast. Fingal Head refers to the headland and lighthouse area further north near Tweed Heads, so this listing likely points to a dive location around the Port Stephens island itself, an area of rocky reef exposed to the Tasman Sea.
