孤岛海洋公园
新南威尔士州的一个必游潜水点是孤岛海洋公园（Solitary Islands Marine Park），这是一个拥有近 1000 种不同鱼类的保护区。
探索科夫斯港
科夫斯港位于新南威尔士州海岸，布里斯班和悉尼之间。这里是通往孤岛海洋公园的南部门户，既有来自北部大堡礁的暖水，也有较凉爽的南部海水。这种混合造就了独特的海洋生物和水下植物生长环境。
这里只有一家历史悠久的潜水中心。它提供全方位的潜水课程--从探索水肺潜水到完成专业潜水长和教练资格认证。该地区没有潜水度假村或船宿。
离海岸不远的孤岛上有 20 多个潜水点可供探索。 在海草中，可以发现琵琶鱼和裸鳃鱼等伪装的野兽。这里是世界上唯一一个每次潜水几乎都能保证看到灰护士鲨的地方。

科夫斯港最佳潜水月份
科夫斯港全年都可以潜水。夏季白天气温在 20 度左右，水温从十月的 19°C 逐渐升高到三月的 25°C。较暖的水温带来了热带鱼、蝠鲼和豹纹鲨等大型鱼类，以及华丽鬼琵琶鱼等稀有鱼类。
冬季的白天平均温度约为 20°C，水温为 19°C。水温较低意味着灰礁鲨和巨墨鱼等头足类动物的数量较多。裸露的海岸线比较脆弱，因此强风和汹涌的海浪有时会阻碍潜水之旅的进行。
