Dive-site story
Set along the sandstone headland of Kamay Botany Bay National Park in Kurnell, this Sydney shore dive leads into kelp forests and sponge gardens. Divers navigate a rocky entry into the bay before following a slope of boulders and sand patches. The site works as a standalone out-and-back route or as the exit for drift dives starting at The Leap.
