Never before has Broughton Island & Cabbage Tree Island been accessible like this for freedivers & snorkellers!

Broughton island is situated a short 35-45 minute boat ride from Nelson Bay in Port Stephens (2.5 hours drive from Sydney). With an array of beautiful bays, clear blue water, amazing underwater marine life and set behind the stunning cliff lined backdrop and white sandy beaches, it is without a doubt one of NSW's biggest gems. The famous Looking Glass at Broughton Island is where we set anchor for the morning, and this dive site is famous for it's local Grey Nurse Shark population! 

We are commonly joined by dolphins on the drive out to the islands, and you will most likely see Blue Gropers, loads of fish, turtles & more often than not, the local Grey Nurse Sharks!
