About your Julian Rocks diving experience - Byron Bay

Byron Bay is home to the world famous Nguthingulli Julian Rocks. What makes this dive site so unique in being home to over 1,000 marine species both varied tropical and cold water marine life is the combination of both warm and cold water currents meeting at the rock. With only a 5 minute boat ride from a beach launch to Julian Rock you can be entertained by sightings of resident dolphins that live in the bay. During the winter months whale sightings are also very common.

You can expect on most dives seeing a variety of sharks, turtles, manta rays and large schools of pelagic fish. Julian Rocks provides scuba divers of all experience levels with a great diving experience. Dive depth varies across the sites and can be anywhere from 5-25m. Some of the sites you might dive include the Cray Cave an Gorgonian Hollow, Hugo’s Trench, the Nursery, the Needles and Cod Hole.

FAQ

Dive Trip Cancellations Policy - Customer

24-hour cancellation policy for diving; any bookings outside of 24-hours before departure can be changed or cancelled and fully refunded but, within 24-hours no changes or refunds are permitted for any reason including sickness including COVID. When you book a dive spot with Sundive, you are booking one of the limited number of trip specific spots on our boats. If multiple dives are booked in a day and it is decided, for any reason, not to join us on any subsequently booked dives after your first, we will be unable to refund or transfer those dives as the spots on the boat cannot be refilled at such short notice.

Dive Trip Cancellations Policy - Operator

If the operator cancels your trip for any reason including weather, you are entitled to a full refund or you can reschedule your booking.

Dive Course Cancellations Policy - Customer

Dive courses cancellation policy: A full refund will be offered if you cancel your dive course outside 7 Days prior to your start date..

Weather

All trips, especially snorkelling, are weather dependent. Water visibility is impossible to predict and can vary between days as well as between dives. As snorkelling takes place on the surface, good conditions are necessary for safety. If trips are cancelled due to weather, please understand this is for safety reasons (yours and ours) and is outside of our control. If we cancel your trip for any reason including weather, you are entitled to a full refund or you can reschedule your booking.

Medical Conditions

Sundive's trips take place offshore at Nguthingulli Julian Rocks where there are no immediate medical facilities and strenuous exercise may be required. Sundive's trips are therefore unsuitable for anyone with any medical condition that requires a medical device such as a pacemaker, insulin-dependent diabetics, allergy sufferers that require an epi-pen and asthma sufferers who require an inhaler.

Age Waiver - Scuba Divers and Snorkellers

Both SCUBA divers and snorkellers over 70 years of age require a doctor's medical performed within the last 12 months incorporating clearance for SCUBA diving or snorkelling but also including strenuous activity. The medical certificate must be provided at the time of making your booking.
