Diving at this site reveals a shallow underwater world, where wrecks maintain a fragile structure. Though some of the wrecks have partially collapsed, their recognizable remnants still captivate divers.]

Get in

Prepare for an unforgettable underwater adventure at Miller's Point, where you can embark on an exciting boat ride. Alternatively, for those seeking a more daring approach, you can venture into the depths from the shore entry at Seaforth, near Boulders Beach. If you choose the shore dive, follow the sign pointing towards IMT and turn off the main road. Park behind the IMT building and proceed through the gate to the right. As you traverse the dunes, anticipation builds for what lies ahead. Venture into the shallow waters near the building, surrounded by vibrant kelp and fascinating boulders. Embarking on a thrilling 500-meter swim, navigate towards a bearing of approximately 071 magnetic, starting from the corner of the beach closest to IMT. Beware of occasional patches of dense kelp on the inshore reef and rocks rising to the surface, presenting obstacles to divers. Consider deviating from a fixed bearing towards Nimrod rock, identifiable by white water. Dive beneath the surface and continue swimming about 130 meters on a bearing of 138 magnetic. Keep in mind the presence of other rocks at Phoenix shoal, which might make their presence known. To maximize your chances of discovering the wrecks during a shore dive, swim on the surface and take multiple bearings as reference points. Utilize at least three, or ideally all, to compensate for any potential errors in navigation. As you lower yourself into the water, you'll find predominantly sandy seabed. Once you reach your approximate position, the haunting beauty of the wrecks may become visible, like dark patches beneath the surface, beckoning you to explore their secrets further.
