Dive-site story
Sandstone shelves step down into boulder fields and sandy fringes at Sutherland Point, situated along the Kurnell headland in Kamay Botany Bay National Park. Kelp beds blanket shallow ledges before yielding to sponge-covered reef. Divers track the point's contours toward Inscription Point or The Steps to find macro critters and temperate marine life sheltering under overhangs.
Weedy seadragons camouflaged along kelp and sand lines
Sandstone gutters and overhangs sheltering wobbegongs
Giant cuttlefish hunting along rocky reef edges
