About this dive site

This dive site is a Sydney shore dive located within a protected aquatic reserve, offering exceptionally calm and shallow conditions, thus often used as a training dive site when Cabbage Tree Bay is not calm.

It is renowned for its seagrass beds and rocky reef structures which provide a habitat for an incredible variety of macro life. Divers often explore along a submerged wall, discovering critters like Giant Cuttlefish, octopus, and numerous fish species, making it a favorite for photographers and night divers.
