About this dive site

This dive site is located on the southern side of Botany Bay. It’s named from a structure found on land nearby. A notable feature is that around July, you may have the chance to witness a significant whale migration, with approximately 100 whales passing through this area each day. Because it's further out than popular dive locations like Leap and Cape Solander, visibility tends to be better there. The site’s depth ranges from 16 to 24 meters. Expect to find a rugged underwater landscape consisting of boulders and small walls, which create interesting features such as small caves and swim-throughs.
