Best for advanced divers, 1-12m, shore entry, moderate current.
Dampiers Landing at Sammys Well Campground is a shallow shore dive ranging from 1 to 12 metres, with an average depth of 8 metres. The site features hard coral habitat and requires advanced skill due to the presence of overhead environments, potential for strong currents, and variable visibility. Divers should be aware of hazards including entanglement, deep sections, and boat traffic. A surface marker buoy is recommended. The site is remote, and amenities at the campground may be limited. Divers and snorkellers should check current and tide conditions before entry, as incoming tides can stir up sediment and reduce visibility.
