Green Point Reserve is a shore dive where the real reward is slowing down and looking closely. The reef runs from shallow areas down to 19 metres, giving you room to explore at a comfortable pace, though moderate current and surge mean you'll want to pick your conditions. Visibility ranges from 2 to 12 metres depending on swell and season. The site holds an impressive cast of cryptic species: pygmy pipehorses and weedy seadragons tucked into sponge gardens, frogfish sitting motionless on the reef, nudibranchs across the rocks, and octopus in the crevices. Port Jackson sharks, wobbegong sharks, and Australian giant cuttlefish round out a genuinely varied temperate reef experience.
