    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Inscription Point, right in Kurnell, gives you a straightforward shore dive. We usually see plenty of wobbegongs tucked into the rocks and often a few Port Jackson sharks cruising around. It's an easy entry for a relaxed dive, good for getting back in the water or testing new gear.
