Pretty common site to see somebody diving into a river.
But I can't ever remember seeing anybody diving into Sydney Harbour.
Milson's Point ferry wharf makes a good diving platform
Full size crop compressed better than the full fame.

Excellent capture! Is that a bottle of beer on the side?

I could not quite see it clearly enough , but I don't think so.

There was a wedding shoot happening , so if the photog was creative , and had a sense of humour..well I would have tried for it anyway

I'm sure if I had waited 10 minutes I would have got a shot of the water police , or some type of security. There was a police helicopter in the area , with a diver in the back seat , so they could have got some training in if they had wanted to

The dive was perfectly executed by the way, no bellyflop!
