Maze is a boat-access NSW site for sharks, rays, and schooling fish.
Maze is a boat-entry Australian dive with maze-like terrain, clear-water windows, and a mix of sharks, rays, turtles, and schooling fish. It suits divers who are comfortable with boat logistics and want a site that rewards both terrain following and relaxed marine-life watching. Settled conditions make the dive more rewarding, and the open-water feel means it works best for divers who can keep buoyancy steady and stay aware of the plan.
