Clovelly Snorkel Pictures

Clovelly Bay may be Sydney's most popular snorkelling location. It is a sheltered bay which consistently has decent snorkelling. Sharks are rarely found here: you are very lucky if you see one!

The star of Clovelly Bay is Bluey, the friendly male blue groper. Actually, the original Bluey was illegally killed by a spear fisherman in 2002, so the current male blue groper can be called Bluey the Second. Other than Bluey, there are a lot of common fish: trevally, stripeys, wrasses, toadfish, scalyfin, white ear, etc.... On occasion, one can also find garfish, old wives, pygmy leatherjackets, octopuses, and nudibranchs. If you're lucky, you might see an eel or lobsters hiding in the rocks.
