This dive site, Sue's Groyne, is easily accessed via a short walk from Chelydra Park car park in Australia. Divers enter from the beach and navigate outwards, initially walking out to about 2.4 meters before encountering a drop-off to approximately 4 meters. A sandbar to the left of the groyne wall maintains a depth of around 1.9 meters for about 150 meters from shore before dropping to 4.5 meters. The maximum depth reached is 7 meters, making it an excellent site for leisurely dives.
The site is home to a diverse array of smaller marine life. Divers can expect to spot octopus, striped juvenile catfish, toadfish, triggerfish, squid, and cuttlefish. Occasionally, juvenile Port Jackson sharks are also observed, adding an exciting element for keen-eyed divers and photographers.
Given its shallow depths and easy access, Sue's Groyne is suitable year-round, weather permitting. It's particularly well-suited for beginner divers, snorkelers, and freedivers due to its gentle conditions and varied macro life. The site is a fantastic spot for macro photography, offering plenty of interesting subjects in its sandy and rocky environments. Divers should be mindful of conditions and plan dives during calmer periods for optimal visibility.
