The islands unique location offers dozens of dive locations and the advantage of dives in almost any weather conditions. Montague Island is recognised as on of the top 10 dive locations in Australia.  You can experience the sheer exhilaration of playing with up to 2000 very friendly, very agile, very playful Fur seals.

Surprised ! So are the many divers who are now discovering the charms of Montague Island on the South Coast of NSW. Because of its position it can offer different dives at different times of the year. For example during the cooler months you can experience the sheer exhilaration of playing with up to 2000 very friendly, very agile, very playful Fur seals. Or maybe witness one of nature's brilliant Humpback whales or the spectacle of a pod of dolphins. A few months later warm currents up to 25 degrees bring a mass of tropical fish and pelagics as well as the nutrients that feed the coral, nudibranchs, giant tube worms and gorgonea fans. It also brings with it creatures not normally seen this far South, creatures like the  occasional turtle , manta or sunfish as well as the usual hordes of kingfish, trevally and hosts of other reef species . We also have 400 to 500 seals staying for the summer months.


Every diver who experiences the joy of swimming with these cute playful wide-eyed creatures emerges with a feeling of amazement at the friendliness of these furry funsters.  Its an easy dive with most of the seals sunbaking on the surface within 20 metres of the anchored boat. Yet when a diver enters the water they just can't help themselves and come charging over to show off their agility to the strange clumsy creatures with bottles on their backs or snorkels in their mouths.

The colony consists of up to 2000 seals during the cooler months (June to mid Dec). Most of these are either rogue or non competitive seals rejected from the Southern colonies. Most are

male.
