North Coogee is a shore dive featuring a mix of reef terrain. Divers can explore depths ranging from 5 to 19 metres, with an average depth of 12 metres. Visibility typically fluctuates between 5 and 20 metres. While the site is generally protected from strong currents, surge can be a significant factor, particularly near the entry and exit points. Divers must navigate a rock platform, which can be slippery and presents hazards such as rip currents and sea urchins. Due to these entry conditions and potential surge, this site is suited for intermediate divers. Parking is available near the site.
