Double Shore Dive Terrigal Haven

Terrigal Heaven
Please note this is two dives on the day a double dive

Terrigal Heaven is an easily accessible dive site with and easy exit and entry point. The dive site itself has a sloping sandy bottom. Underneath the moored boats is sand flats and seagrass. The seagrass in the Haven is a much-overlooked habitat with some of the most interesting critters. Follow the rocks on the right-hand side out and left-hand side exiting your dive. The is a Giant Anchor at the point sitting in 10metres of water most people use this as a reference point to go past and turn around to make their way back . If you find that you still have not used half your air, you can continue out following along the wall and you will be able to make two different journeys. If keep going out far enough you’ll come along an old boat trailer which has seahorse hanging around it on a rocky – kelp bottom.

The other journey is you swim up over the rock wall tide pending and go out over the other side and it is a large rocky boulder type bottom that goes down to 14 m in depth.

Terrigal Haven is normally the best place to dive on a southerly wind as its very protected.
