South-West Wall - Gold Coast Seaway

A great starting point for the timid diver, a sandy beach entry with a gradual decline to 5 metres.

At this location the incoming current has lost most of it’s strength and on the days when rough seas with SE winds have stirred up sediment and reduced the visibility in the South Wall area, by the time it gets to the South West Wall most of the sediment has dropped out and visibility will improve.

This is a shallow area and the maximum depth encountered is 8 metres. It is rare to see the big fish here but this is the nursery area for a lot of fish and is a great “muck diving” area.

It is quite silty and finning near the bottom will reduce the visibility for other divers down current.

This is the area where it is possible to find the Ornate Ghostpipefish, Robust Ghostpipefish and Sea Horses.
