    Redhead Point is one of our go-to boat dives when we're looking for something reliable just off the Sydney coastline. It’s got a comfortable maximum depth of 11 metres, making it a relaxed dive for almost any certification level. We love dropping onto the sandy bottom, which is dotted with bommies and weedy patches that hide some truly interesting characters. Keep your eyes peeled for those impressive ocean wobbegongs, often just chilling on the sand, or the graceful glide of an eagle ray passing overhead. Visibility usually hovers around 11 metres, sometimes more on a good day, giving you plenty of time to spot the smaller stuff too, like nudibranchs crawling along the rocks or moray eels peeking out from their hidey-holes. This spot is a solid pick for a cruisy dive where you’re pretty much guaranteed to see some classic East Coast marine life without battling strong currents or complex navigation.
