About this dive site

This dive site features a vertical wall dropping to a sandy bottom, completely covered in a stunning array of colourful sponges, ascidians, and gorgonian fans. Renowned as one of Sydney's premier shore dives, its main challenge is the powerful tidal current, meaning dives must be timed perfectly for slack water. The sheer density and diversity of life, from tiny critters to large fish, make it a truly spectacular dive.
