Best for intermediate divers, 10-40m, boat entry, strong current.
South Point is a boat-access reef and wall site in Western Australia that features a drop-off ranging from 10 to 40 metres. The topography is defined by its steep wall structure, which experiences strong currents. Divers and snorkellers should be prepared for variable visibility between 3 and 15 metres. Due to the depth and current, this site is suited to intermediate divers with strong buoyancy control. The site is exposed to deep water and requires careful planning around tidal windows. Surface marker buoys are essential for ascents, and divers should remain aware of their depth and the presence of sharks at all times.
