Catherine Hill Coal Loader - Sydney & New South Wales

G 6 Point, just off its namesake Glamping Number 6, offers a solid wall dive. We’ve found the dominant feature here is the drop-off itself, a substantial wall covered in hard coral, barrel sponges, and some impressive sea fans. Maximum depth is a comfortable 19m, making it a good option for those who prefer to keep things a bit shallower. Look for the overhangs and a small hole near the top of the reef. We often spot Speed Jacks darting past, and Midnight Snapper are usually hanging around. If you’re into the smaller stuff, keep an eye out for nudibranchs and various shrimp and crabs tucked into crevices. Visibility averages a clear 26m, so you’ll have plenty of light to explore the wall. It’s a decent site for a relaxed dive, especially if you appreciate good coral formations.
