Gordon's Bay

Gordon's Bay is a sheltered shore dive located between Clovelly and Coogee on Sydney's Eastern Suburbs coast. Its signature feature is an approximately 600-metre underwater nature trail marked by linked concrete drums and interpretive plaques. Access is on foot via the coastal walk, requiring a steps and gear carry to reach the entry point.

The site is generally shallow, with depth varying along the route but staying within a manageable profile suited to newer and returning divers. The nature trail provides a useful navigational reference when its markers are visible, making it a practical site for practising navigation and buoyancy. The bay is protected, keeping conditions relatively calm at the surface.

Marine life at Gordon's Bay includes blue gropers, rays, seahorses, cuttlefish, octopus and crustaceans, along with colourful fish. The water temperature can reach up to around 25°C, with the better diving season running from November to March. Diving at high tide is preferable, and the bay benefits from protection afforded by its position from open ocean exposure.
