4. Captain Cook's Landing (Botany Bay National Park)
When the famous James Cook arrived on the shores of Botany Bay, he was probably too taken by the sight of land before him that he did not realize what a treasure of sea creatures he had beneath his feet. Found inside the National Park, this site has rocky entry; hence, it is recommended for intermediate snorkelers. There are lot of wonderful sea species to see though, one of which is the popular Weedy Sea Dragon of Sydney.
5. Bare Island

Ideal for beginner and advanced snorkelers, you can make it your mission to do an exploration of what wonders it has to offer: fishes, rays, sea horses and maybe, some cute turtles.
