My favourite dives

LIGHT HOUSE WALL
ULLUDULLA
Dive map of lighthouse wall site This is a beautiful dive that can be done as a stationary boat dive or can be done in current as a drift dive as the wall runs north-south with the prevailing current in this area. Towards the south the wall swings out to the east and becomes less defined with large rocks and boulders appearing. I have dived this with Ulludulla Dive Supplies. Some people dive the Ulladulla lighthouse from the shore, but they are unlikely to get out to the wall without a substantial swim. The wall top is about 15 to 18 meters and goes down to the sand at 20 to 25 meters, depending on the part of the wall you dive. The wall is covered in growth, many small ledges contain miniature sponges gardens and overhangs contain gorgonia. You may find the resident Bleakers Blue Devil fish under a ledge or Rays, flat head or sharks on the sand line, Red and Blue Mowong and other school fish proliferate. You may also find a moray eel under a boulder, or s weedy sea dragon amongst the kelp.
BURRAWARRA WALL
MALUA BAY
gorgonian growth
Invertebrate growth
(By Jenny Feltham)
 I have dived this location on a number of occasions with Malua Bay Dive. About 30 minute boat trip south from Mosquito bay. The dive (as Gordon, the skipper, describes it) is like the back of my hand. A number of finger forming a series of vertical walls, leading into blind canyons. The top of the wall is about 8-12 meters from the surface and the bottom depth is around 25 meters. The walls are covered with beautifully coloured soft corals, sponges and gorgonians. There are many small fish varieties that follow you around the bottom and school around you at your safety stop.
BOWLING GREEN
JERVIS BAY

MV Indulgence - a great place to spend a couple of days
This location is west of Bowen Island and can only be accessed by boat, I was lucky enough to be on MV Indulgence (eat, sleep, dive, repeat) when we have visited this site. Not as you might imagine a large expanse of green grass, but a large expanse of patchy green weed. I have only dived this location a couple of times, but as I am a sucker for weedy sea dragons it's like paradise. The last dive I did on the bowling green we joked on coming back to the boat that there were so many weedys we could use them for kindling. Weedy sea dragons are not the only things in this area, Port Jackson sharks, Wobbegongs, Butterfly gurnards, lots of different rays and heaps of different stuff.
