Amity Point is a shore-accessible reef dive site located on the northwest tip of North Stradbroke Island, inside Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia. Although described as Brisbane's most popular shore diving destination, reaching the site does require a boat. A notable feature of the reef is that numerous car bodies have been dumped there over time, creating artificial structure that now serves as habitat and shelter for marine life.
The reef runs from 5 to 15 metres depth, with a rocky bottom interspersed with the sunken car bodies. The artificial relief provides varied terrain for exploration and is particularly rewarding at night, when nocturnal species become active among the wrecked vehicles.
Marine life at Amity Point includes reef fish, moray eels, octopus, nudibranchs, flatheads, parrotfish, globefish, wobbegongs, stingrays, stonefish, crabs, shrimps, and crayfish. Night dives are especially productive, with crabs, shrimps, crayfish, and parrotfish found sheltering and sleeping inside the car bodies.
The site is tidal like all Moreton Bay locations and is best dived at high tide. It can also be done as a drift dive. Stonefish are present and warrant careful attention to where hands and feet are placed. With a maximum depth of 15 metres and a beginner difficulty rating, Amity Point is well suited to new divers and is regularly used for diver training, as well as being a popular night dive.
