Double Boat Scuba Dive

Double Boat Scuba Dive — Jervis Bay’s two-tank morning run launches from Woollamia and stitches together the bay’s best underwater drama across kelp forests, cavernous walls and historic wrecks. Meeting at Dive Shop unit 3/ 1 Erina rd Huskisson to gather gear at 7am and departing the wharf at Woollamia Boat ramp by 8am, this five-hour trip is designed for certified divers who want a focused, marine-life-rich experience with local guides. On any given day the itinerary pivots to conditions: the Wall offers a dramatic drop-off where grey nurse sharks patrol the blue, while The Docks serves up kelp beds, swim-throughs and soft corals.

The Drum and Drumsticks are a maze of caves and boulder gardens with a resident fur seal colony, and the Nursery is a protected nursery area hosting juvenile fish, wobbegongs and weedy sea dragons. When conditions allow the SS Wandra Wreck yields macro life and a sense of history amid timber ribs and encrusting sponges. The operators load two guided dives into the schedule, with a knowledgeable skipper, dive guide, safety briefing, hot drinks, snacks and onboard toilet.

Expect to glide through seagrass meadows and sponge gardens, and keep an eye on the bow for dolphins. Seasonal highlights include Australian and New Zealand fur seals most commonly seen May–November, and humpback whales passing through between June and November. This trip stands out because the guides are local to Jervis Bay and choose sites based on current conditions and animal activity rather than a fixed route.

That flexibility maximizes encounters with weedy sea dragons, grey nurse sharks, octopus and colorful nudibranchs while making the most of the bay’s varied geology: cliffs, swim-through caverns, rocky outcrops and a wooden wreck that speaks to the bay’s maritime past. Practical notes: the trip is for certified divers only; group size is limited to a maximum of 12 divers for attentive guidance; bring water, swimmers, towel, wind jacket and warm clothes for post-dive comfort; sea sickness tablets are recommended if you are prone. The operator supplies reef-safe sunscreen and basic snacks.

For underwater photographers and wildlife lovers this is a compact, high-value dive day—two distinct sites, intimate groups, and an experienced crew who know where the bay’s signature life is hanging out. Whether you want macro time on the wreck or a chance to watch grey nurse sharks on the Wall, this two-tank outing delivers a tight, well-run sample of Jervis Bay’s underwater world. The meeting location at Huskisson allows easy access to local accommodations in nearby Wollongong or Nowra, and many divers pair this trip with shore dives around Booderee National Park or a beach day in Hyams Beach.
