Best for advanced divers, 5-35m, boat entry, moderate current.
Marley Point in the Royal National Park is an advanced reef and cave dive site located 5500 metres offshore. The topography features complex cave systems and sponge gardens, with depths ranging from 5 to 35 metres and an average of 18 metres. Divers must manage moderate currents and surge, which can push against cave walls. Visibility varies significantly between 5 and 25 metres. Due to the surge and current, this site is strictly for experienced divers. Boat entry is required, and timing dives around slack water is recommended to mitigate current impact. Always monitor conditions closely, as offshore winds can bring colder deep water to the surface.
