About Waterfall Bay
Eight minutes from the Pirates Bay jetty, Waterfall Bay offers a range of sites suited to intermediate through advanced divers. Walls drop into deep water and shelter caverns, swim-throughs and the Cathedral Cave entrance system. Bright invertebrate growth normally found at much greater depth covers the rock at unusually shallow levels here.
