About this site
Fairy Bower is a dive site at Manly in Sydney, with an easy entry from Marine Parade. Depths run from 7 to 10 metres, and the dive is all about moving slowly and looking into the cracks and crevices where sea creatures like to hide.
Moray eels, wobbegong sharks and Port Jackson sharks are the animals divers look for here. The slow pace and close looking make it a good place to practise buoyancy and observation skills.
