This dive site is a sheltered Sydney Harbour bay, renowned for its incredible macro life and critter population. Divers explore the pylons of the public wharf and the outside of a netted swimming enclosure, which act as a fantastic artificial reef. It is one of Sydney's most popular sites for training, night diving, and finding the iconic White's Seahorse.
