About this Event
Did you know there is an underwater wildlife sanctuary right in the heart of Manly? Cabbage Tree Bay is its name, and it's home to more than 150 species!
Nestled between South Steyne and Shelly Beach in Manly, Cabbage Tree Bay is sheltered from the ocean, providing much calmer conditions and boasting an abundance of protected marine life.
Your host, Bella (@BellaGoesDiving), is a Northern Beaches local who has been swimming and snorkelling at Cabbage Tree Bay since she was a teenager. With a background in surf rescue and holding current First Aid & CPR Certificates, Bella brings a safety-conscious approach to every adventure. Plus, she's on great terms with the resident Eastern blue gropers!
