Bushrangers Bay

Bushrangers Bay is an excellent shore dive with depths of only 6 to 18 metres and conveniently located at the tip of Bass Point.

A Marine haven

This bay is an aquatic reserve in order to sustain the prosperity of marine life and habitats. An exceptional, sheltered dive site for beginners and running east to west, Bushrangers Bay offers two distinct sections to explore. The inner bay is 3-6 meters and the outer bay is 15-18 meters deep. While slightly better on incoming tide, Bushrangers can be dived at any time. Shallow tidal pools surrounding the inner bay are home to countless invertebrates and crustaceans. Continue east and dive down to the seabed where you will find schools of fish, port jacksons and stingrays, as well as plenty of nudibranchs. For several years now greynurse sharks have been visiting and generally are observed gliding along the deeper channel between the two bays. Please read the code of conduct for greynurse sharks as they are a protected species.
