Barracuda Point

Barracuda Point, just across the channel from Barbara Beach, is a prime example of why we love a good boat dive. Sure, you *could* try the shore entry, but trust us, the effort isn't quite worth the scraped knees when the boat ride is so quick. Drop in, and you're immediately greeted by vast fields of purple sea fans swaying in the gentle surge, interspersed with some truly impressive hard coral structures. We’ve spent whole safety stops just watching the light play through them. The maximum depth here is 19m, making it a comfortable dive for nearly everyone. Our favourite part? The sheer density of reef fish, often schooling so tightly you feel enveloped. Look for the bold yellowtail parrotfish nibbling away, and keep an eye out for the smaller, more cryptic residents like spotfin dragonets near the sand patches. Turtles, both green and hawksbill, are regular visitors, often just cruising past, unbothered. It's a relaxed, vibrant dive, best suited for those who appreciate healthy coral and abundant fish life without the need for extreme depths or strong currents.
