I've dived at 16 sites in Jervis Bay:
Name | Location | Area | Country | Wreck | Freshwater | Description | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Boat Harbour | East of Longnose Point, N side of the Bay | Jervis Bay | Australia | Probably wouldn't look like much on the daytime, but it made a good night dive with a weedy sea dragon, cuttlefish and a moray eel. Clear water and good phosphorescence. | |||
Bowen Island | Jervis Bay | Australia | Site consists of huge boulders with swim-throughs. | ||||
Cathedral Cave | Point Perpendicular | Jervis Bay | Australia | ||||
Darts Point | N. side of the Bay | Jervis Bay | Australia | ||||
