Great Barrier Reef Diving with ''Bargara Beach Dive'' Comments This extremely popular site features a more pronounced headland than some of the others and therefore usually provides a little more protection during poor weather and unfavourable seas. Because the area is so easily accessable to divers of all skill levels and is dived by many people, it is important that novice divers pay particular attention to correct buoyancy and finning techniques to keep the reef in a healthy condition for others to enjoy. Suitable For ... Snorkelling, novice or experienced scuba divers Depths 0 - 10 metres Entry and Exit Points The site can be accessed from locations to either the North or South of the headland. A steep embankment from the top of the headland to the rocks requires cautious negotiation. During choppy sea conditions some protection can be attained on the leeward side of the point. In calmer conditions either side can be utilised and with a tidal current running a drift dive around the headland can be both relaxing and enjoyable. A partially enclosed pool (known as ?the moon pond') is located immediately to the South of the headland and provides an excellent entry/exit point during mid to high tides. Bottom Topography Basalt rock, extensive soft corals and some hard corals extend to both the North and South of the headland and out to about 50 metres from shore. The remaining bottom comprises mainly of flat sand with some scattered bombies. Cautions Divers should use caution while walking over the shoreline boulders particularly nearer the water's edge where they can become extremely slippery. Entries and exits during choppy sea conditions can become hazardous with slippery and/or barnacled rocks. Due to the popularity of rock fishing in this area, the bottom is often subject to entangled monofiliment fishing line, hooks, lures, etc. Divers should exercise caution and always carry a sharp knife. Getting There Situated approximately 15 minutes drive South of the Bargara Shopping Centre. Reached by driving South along Woongarra Scenic Drive from Bargara, turning right into Rifle Range Road, left into Back Windemere Road and then left into Innes Park Road to travel back towards the coast.
