Torpedo Drift is an advanced boat-access drift dive located in Booderee, Australia. The site features depths ranging from 8 to 30 metres, requiring careful planning around current cycles to avoid excessive gas consumption. Visibility typically fluctuates between 10 and 30 metres. Divers should remain alert for entanglement hazards caused by discarded fishing line, as the area is a popular fishing spot. Due to the moderate to strong currents and depth, this site is strictly for advanced divers. Boat access is required, and local operators provide charters and air fills for those planning a visit.

Plan your dive around the current cycles rather than convenience, as a poorly timed entry will burn your gas fighting the flow before you reach depth. The best pelagic encounters with marlin and tuna tend to come during the December to May window, so that is the period worth booking a charter around.
The site is accessed by boat, typically with dive operators from Huskisson like Dive Jervis Bay. It is located on the northern side of Jervis Bay's entrance, near Point Perpendicular.
