Dive-site story
Extending into the Port Noarlunga Reef Sanctuary Zone within Gulf St Vincent, this site offers entry via stairs and ladders at the jetty end. Divers navigate encrusted wooden pylons before exploring the parallel limestone reef system, with its drop-offs, swim-throughs, and marked underwater trail. Sheltered conditions make it a practical spot for training drills, macro photography, and night descents.
Dense invertebrate growth and sponge gardens encrusting the timber pylons
Natural limestone reef architecture with ledges, fissures, and swim-throughs
Port Jackson sharks resting across the sandy floor and beneath overhangs
Night encounters with hunting octopuses, cuttlefish, and rays
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Summer and autumn deliver settled seas and the warmest temperatures, while winter draws breeding aggregations of Port Jackson sharks.
