Can you be more specific? there is 2,000+ miles of coastline between the two cities and more diving than you could do in a lifetime...

A must do is the HMAS Brisbane out of mooloolaba about 1hr north of brisbane sunk in 28M, weather can be a bit shitty though so best plan a few days in the area,
Sydney has fantastic diving of all levels from 5m bimbles to 75m+ Wrecks
Jervis bay 3 hrs south of sydney has fantastic liveaboards and excellent diving
water round sydney is from 16 in the winter to 23 in the summer.
cant help south of there although I hear the water's cold 'Brrr'

Most of the dive shops seem pretty good as long as you avoid pro-dive although they do seem to have the shiniest boats

There are some not bad reef dives out of Mooloolaba too. And they're only a 15 min boat ride, no bleaching in evidence, better than some of the reefs off Cairns, though sadly that's not hard these days.

Byron Bay is good, as are the Solitaries a bit further south. I went out of Coffs but have since been told the northern ones are better out of Wooli.

Then there's South West Rocks, which I've not done personally.

Some nice wreck diving out of Portsea near Melbourne. Can be rough though. Big southern ocean swell down there. It moved me a metre or two either side on the bottom at 34m.
