Grey Nurse Shark Reef Double Dive for Certified Divers

Get amongst the marine magic at the Nurse Rock reef dive, just a quick boat ride offshore from Sunreef in Mooloolaba. Certified divers can experience the thrill of swimming with endangered Grey Nurse sharks, especially during winter when these gentle giants cruise the area. Shark encounters here are relaxed, camera-friendly and perfect for a bit of adventure with your underwater mates.

There's plenty to explore once you're below the surface - duck between chunky boulders, swim through cheeky rock formations and keep your eyes peeled for colourful schools of surgeon fish or maybe a chilled-out turtle gliding by. With visibility ranging from 10 to 20 metres and depths from 14 to 30 metres, the site suits both new and experienced divers.

Your day kicks off at Sunreef. After checking in, you'll organise your kit (with help if you want it), sort the paperwork and certification, and get a thorough briefing as you cruise out on a 20-minute ride along the Mooloolah River. Dives last up to 50 minutes or until you and your buddy use 50 bar; then it's back aboard to swap salty stories.

Back at the shop, the crew will rinse your gear so you can just chill and relive the dive. Please note, you'll need to fill out an online waiver after booking. If you've not dived in 2 years, a Reactivate course is required. Weather can shake up the schedule, and if you get seasick, consider medication. Pregnant divers or those with certain medical conditions can't participate.
