Dive-site story
Dropping straight down beneath the towering sandstone cliffs of Point Perpendicular in Jervis Bay, this vertical rock face plunges into deep coastal waters. Diver routes trace sheer crevices, overhangs, and sea caves blanketed in sponges and sea tulips before giving way to kelp-lined boulder slopes. Ocean swells and passing currents often bring pelagic visitors along the outer cliff line.
Sheer vertical sandstone wall featuring deep crevices and sponge gardens
Regular encounters with resting wobbegongs and seasonal aggregations of Port Jackson sharks
Weedy seadragons blending into the kelp base along the rock fringe
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Summer and autumn bring warmer waters and clear blue currents pushed in by the East Australian Current, though winter offers the highest numbers of Port Jackson sharks.
