Killcare sits on the Central Coast of New South Wales, and its two sites, Bullimah Beach and Maitland Bay, are both shore-entry dives within or near Bouddi National Park. The terrain is varied for such accessible sites, covering reef, wreck, kelp forest, and seagrass habitats within a shallow depth range suited to beginners. Species recorded include port jackson sharks, reaper cuttlefish, abalone, smooth toadfish, sea stars, and frilled file shells. Maitland Bay in particular offers habitat diversity in a single dive. Conditions are temperate, with a shore break and potential rip currents requiring attention on entry and exit.
