The Waterfall Bay Caves dive sites are regarded as Australia's best ocean cave dive sites. Cathedral cave is one of the most visited caves of the Waterfall Bay Caves. It's a beautiful cave about 30 meters long and approximately 21 meters deep. The walls of the cave are covered with colourful invertebrates and sponges. There are three openings through which the cave can be entered.
The caves all undercut the cliffs and some of them require cave dive training before it's safe enough for you to enter.
Fortescue Bay
This is a very nice dive spot that is accessible from the shore. You can also use the damaged boat ramp. You can find cowfish and jackass morwong and many more other fish at this site. There's a wreck you can see at the southern part of the bay.
