Dive-site story
Located along the rugged northern headland of Jervis Bay Marine Park, The Docks is defined by sheer sandstone walls, tumbled megalithic boulders, and shadowed undercuts. Divers navigate kelp-topped ridges before descending to where the reef structure meets clean white sand. Giant overhangs shelter dense clusters of sponges and ascidians, while curious blue gropers frequently shadow divers moving between the rock formations.
Extensive sandstone swim-throughs and boulder piles sheltering cryptic fish
Regular encounters with friendly Eastern blue gropers and resting wobbegongs
Dense sponge gardens and sea tulip colonies growing across vertical rock faces
