From Ettalong

Dragon Alley
Max Depth: 16 metres
This is a sponge garden behind Barrenjoey Headland. Weedy seadragons are the highlight here, found among kelp, sponges and gorgonians. It is at its best during the incoming tide when seas are calm.

The Valiant
Max Depth: 27 metres
The Valiant was a small tug boat that sunk off Broken Bay, whilst on its way to being scuttled in 1981. The wreck is still quite intact and lies on its port side. The safety stop can also be exciting when kingfish are feeding on the massive schools of yellowtail. A nice easy wreck to dive which always offers something new to see. You may even come across a wobby or two.

Hole in the Wall
Max Depth: 18 metres
Good easy dive in calm conditions. There are lots of swimthroughs, small overhangs, trenches and boulders. You will find heaps of little stuff and a few species of schooling fish.

Birchgrove Park
Max Depth: 50 metres
The ‘Birchy’ was a coal collier of 640 ton. It sank off Avalon during a Southerly in 1956 after leaving its Newcastle port bound for Sydney. It was carrying 500 ton of coal at the time and in rough weather it capsized and sank. Only 4 of 14 crew survived as they were unable to launch their lifeboats.
It is a dive for experienced divers only.

St Michaels Cave
Max Depth: 10 metres
Located between Avalon and South Head, this is a novice dive with plenty of small stuff to see. You will come across large gullies, small overhangs and boulders. This dive boasts a mixture of fish life and perhaps a leafy sea dragon. Flat seas a best for this dive.

Trawlers Reef
Max Depth: 33 metres
About two kilometers offshore from Bangalley Point. With deep sea growth, colourful sponge gardens and many species of Southern fish. A great dive for the advanced diver.

First Point
Max Depth: 20 metres
A pleasant reef dive that features many sea sponges and other schooling fish life. On this dive you will be amazed by the number of swim throughs and overhangs in what reminds you of a natural amphitheater rock wall.
