Following
Captain Cook drive all the way till you reach the Toll Gate into Kurnell
National Park that will lead you to this magnificent dive site. Make sure
you have $6 in change on you as the machine does not accept notes. Once in
the park continue up the road, past the discovery centre entrance and the
turn off for the monument, continue along the road till you see a small car
parking area on your right at the top of the incline.
To avoid the risk of
being swept out to sea, the leap is best done on an incoming tide and makes
for a great drift dive. To get to the entry point, extreme care needs to be
taken when climbing down the rock face and onto the rock platform below.
This dive site is therefore best recommended for more experienced and
confident divers. Make a giant stride entry off the rock platform (waiting
for the water to reach its highest point before jumping) and then fin
yourself away from the rocks. Descend onto the boulders and head left along
the boulders towards the Steps entry/exit point. You can either seek deeper
depths by looking for a sand line or you can follow the boulders at around
11m and check out the cool sponge gardens.
If you do decide to seek depth,
keep a close eye on your air and come up to the shallower depths to conserve
air so as to reach the exit point underwater. Get out of the water at ‘the
Steps’ entry/exit point. If the conditions are too rough to exit at the
Steps, you can drift or snorkel towards the Monument/Inscription Pt exits.
If you plan to dive this site for the first time, our friendly instructors & dive masters would welcome the opportunity to fully brief you on this site prior to your dive. |
