About this site
Camp Cove is a small harbour beach on the South Head peninsula in Sydney, inside the entrance to Sydney Harbour near Watsons Bay, New South Wales. Its sheltered position tucked away from ocean swell makes it a popular spot for calm, easy diving rather than anything deep or drift-oriented. The site sits over a reef bottom with a maximum depth of around 8 metres and is rated a beginner dive. Divers here have reported barracuda, cuttlefish, eagle rays, frogfish, nudibranchs, octopus, pipefish, seahorses, snapper, squid, and wrasse.
