Recherche Bay on Bruny Island is a sheltered, shallow shore dive featuring reef and seagrass environments. The site is suitable for beginners due to the mild currents found within the bay. Divers should be prepared for cold water temperatures ranging from 12C to 17C throughout the year, necessitating the use of a 7mm wetsuit or drysuit and a hood for comfort. Weather in this remote southern region is changeable, and visibility can vary between visits. Parking is available at the site. Divers are encouraged to move slowly through the seagrass beds to observe the local marine life that inhabits the area.

Ninepin Point on Bruny Island is a sheltered shore dive featuring a reef and kelp forest environment. Divers navigate depths between 3 and 10 metres, with an average depth of 7 metres. The site is characterised by a tannin-rich freshwater surface layer that significantly reduces visibility, often creating conditions similar to a night dive. Divers should be prepared for cold water temperatures ranging from 12 to 17 degrees Celsius. Due to the low visibility and overhead environment, this site requires careful planning. Parking is available at the entry point. While suitable for beginners, the challenging light conditions and cold water necessitate appropriate thermal protection and the use of a torch.
