Hyams Beach sits within Jervis Bay on the New South Wales south coast, where the bay's sheltered geometry produces some of the clearest water in the region during settled conditions. The seven sites in our database span seagrass beds, reef, and wall topography, with depths from the shallows to thirty metres. Shore and boat entry are both available, and the spread of sites caters to beginners through to advanced divers, including the deeper wall at Hole in the Wall. Species recorded here include grey nurse sharks, giant cuttlefish, spotted wobbegongs, fiddler rays, and bottlenose dolphins.
