Terrigal Haven - Sydney & New South Wales

Wild Beast Point feels exactly like its name suggests: a wild, untamed corner of the Poor Knights. We’re talking proper drift diving here, where the currents dictate your journey, sweeping you past walls painted in hues of orange and purple. The maximum depth is only 17m, but it’s the constant flow of water that makes this place so exhilarating. You’ll often find yourself eye-level with schools of snapper or barracuda, their silver scales flashing as they hold their position in the current. We love this spot for its raw energy; it’s not a place for leisurely pottering. Instead, you're on the move, soaring along a vibrant reef face. Keep an eye out for the resident banded morwong and the occasional green wrasse darting between the crevices. Visibility can be a bit hit-or-miss, sometimes dropping to three metres, but even then, the sheer volume of life makes up for it. This dive suits those who embrace a bit of a thrill and aren't afraid to let the ocean take them where it wants to go. It’s a good one for anyone chasing pelagic encounters, even if a manta ray is a rare sight here, the possibility keeps you scanning the blue.
