Foggy's Shark cave

The cave is just over the edge at a point where two cliffs come together. This dive site is part of an extensive reef system running north to south with a few great dive sites along it.

During the months of March to June, this is a reliable Gray nurse shark dive. More recently, we have noticed smaller Gray nurse sharks deciding to stay here until summer.

The cave extends back about 15 metres or so and is quite wide (say 10 metres for most of its length). It is not very high, may be two metres, as there is a copious amount of sand on the floor. Christian told me that the cave used to be a lot deeper but over the years it has filled with sand. The bottom is not too silty but care still needs to be taken to avoid stirring up the finer material. There are some nice small gorgonias on the roof of the cave and just outside.

Departure point is from Terrigal Haven boat ramp.
