About this site
Terrigal Haven is a sheltered bay on the Central Coast, known for its beautiful shoreline and calm waters. Conditions are consistent and the water is easy to reach from shore, which makes it a good choice for beginner divers.
Grey nurse sharks are the best known residents of the site. The bay is protected from exposure, and it works well for freediving as well as for relaxed dives where skills can be built up in comfortable conditions.
