The site is situated 13 kilometres from shore and offers depths ranging from 6 to 13 metres, with an average depth of 10 metres. Divers should be prepared for strong currents, which often necessitate drift diving, and surge in shallower areas. Visibility typically ranges between 10 and 30 metres. Due to the overhead environment and potential for strong currents, divers should be proficient in deploying a surface marker buoy. The site is best dived around slack water to manage current conditions.

North Solitary Islands is a reef site located off the coast of New South Wales, Australia. The topography offers a wide depth range, extending from shallow 5-metre sections down to 42 metres, with an average depth of 20 metres. Visibility typically ranges between 20 and 30 metres. Access is strictly by boat, and the site is characterised by strong currents, making it essential to monitor conditions closely.

Divers should be aware of surf near the entry point and sharp coral. Given the fluctuating conditions, it is recommended to consult with a local charter operator regarding recent visibility and current strength before planning a dive.

Pimpernel Rock is a deepwater pinnacle located off the coast of New South Wales. This advanced site features a complex topography of walls, caves, and reef structures that descend to 48 metres, with an average depth of 27 metres. The site is exposed to the East Australian Current, which can create strong, unpredictable conditions suitable for drift diving. Visibility ranges from 10 to 30 metres. Due to the significant depth and potential for powerful currents, this site requires careful decompression planning and is strictly for advanced divers. Boat access is mandatory, and divers should be prepared for shifting conditions throughout the 60-minute dive duration.

Woolgoolga Headland at Emerald Beach offers a shallow shore dive and snorkel experience across a rocky reef. Depths range from 5 to 12 metres, with an average of 9 metres. The site is suitable for beginners, though conditions vary; the rock pool area is generally sheltered, but divers should be aware of potential rip currents and surf.
