Wave Break Island

Constructed on the inside of the Seaway to prevent storm waves entering the Broadwater, this island’s isolated sandy beach dips gently to 11 metres alongside a rocky wall producing an excellent protected site for introductory dives, scuba lessons and snorkelling. Boat access is necessary to dive at this location. There are lots of small colourful fish around the rock wall and it is a great “muck dive” location. Of all the seaways dive sites this is where the most stick pipefish are to be found. The Seagrass Bed to the South and the Canyon to the east are also interesting habitats.
