Boat access makes a local operator the practical way to reach Ghosties and time it to conditions.
Ghosties is a boat-access wall and bommie dive on the NSW coast with a sandy bottom, some weedy patches, and plenty of small-scale structure to work through. It suits confident scuba divers who are comfortable on boats and happy to read changing water movement, because the offshore setting can make the site feel more open than the sheltered inshore dives nearby. The draw is straightforward navigation, macro pockets, and an easy route that still feels like a real outing.

Scuba Diving
The site is a straightforward boat dive with wall and bommie structure over a sandy bottom. It rewards slow scanning through weed and relief rather than chasing depth or current.
Freediving
Not a natural freedive target; the boat-access layout and wall-and-bommie structure make it better suited to scuba than breath-hold laps.
Snorkeling
Snorkelling is secondary here. The best structure sits offshore, so the site is more useful for scuba than for a surface swim.
