HUSKISSON GUIDED TOUR FIELD GUIDE
Shoreline Safari: Explore Jervis Bay’s Reefs from Huskisson
A shore‑based, two‑hour guided snorkeling or scuba option in Jervis Bay Marine Park — this guide explains the format, entry requirements and what you can expect to see.
Shoreline Safari: Explore Jervis Bay’s Reefs from Huskisson.
From the sandy edge of Huskisson you can step straight into Jervis Bay Marine Park with a PADI‑certified Dive Master at your side. Ocean Adventure from the Shore is a shore‑launched snorkeling or scuba option that leads small groups to reefs and beaches around the bay for short, focused dives and surface swims over rich reef habitat.

Outing Highlights
PADI‑Certified Dive Masters Lead the Way
Each outing is personally led by a PADI Certified Dive Master who will brief you from shore and, for scuba, accompany qualified divers in the water — ensuring efficient shore entries and an informed approach to local reefs.
A Short Window into a Very Wild Bay
In a single short outing you can encounter an extraordinary range of animals — turtles, blue gropers, giant cuttlefish, Port Jackson sharks, wobbegongs, seals, dolphins and even humpback whales when they pass through — subject to season and timing.
Shore Launches, Single or Double Dives
Trips run from the shore to nearby dive sites in Jervis Bay, offered as snorkel sessions (up to nine people) or scuba (single or double dives for qualified divers, smaller group limits apply).
What the day feels like
What the outing actually feels like
The pace is purposeful: a shore briefing, a short walk to the water’s edge and then a measured entry into clear bays and reef gutters. Whether you stay at the surface with a mask and snorkel or descend for a guided shore dive, the outing concentrates the best of Jervis Bay into a compact two‑hour window.
