Welcome to Sundive Byron Bay - Scuba Diving at the Julian Rocks in Byron Bay, Australia
Located just 2.5 kilometres from Byron Bay, one of Australia's most popular travel destinations, Julian Rocks Marine Park is rated as one of the top five scuba diving locations in Australia. The mixing of tropical warm currents with cooler temperate waters makes the diving near Byron Bay unique.
Due to its amazing diversity and abundance of fish life with over 1000 recorded species of tropical, temperate and pelagic fish, Julian Rocks has earned a reputation as being one of the most prolific fish dives in the world. Whales, Dolphins, Manta Rays, Leopard Sharks, the endangered Grey Nurse Shark and three species of Turtle are all common visitors to Julian Rocks. All the action is just 10 minutes from Byron Bay's main beach!

Massive Bait Balls at Julian Rocks
Since late May, we have experienced bait balls gathering at Julian Rocks in never before seen dimensions. Whole areas around Julian Rocks are covered in tiny bait fish, giving a spectacular display of silver flashing when they are chased by predators. The bait balls also bring in huge schools of big fish feeding on them such as Snapper, Trevally, Kingfish and Jewfish. Even the Grey Nurse Sharks want some of the action and start munching on the little fish. Check out this fantastic video by Andy Green showing the "bait blanket" in the Needles. For more amazing bait ball shots check out Mark Gray's video and stills on our Dive Conditions page.
