There is a dive shop where you can walk from the beach, We were scuba diving under the pier. It's not that deep, it's very calm, so maybe it's perfect for beginners. You can take a closer look and photograph, say, a species of fish that is endemic to Australia. I'd definitely love to see Woody Sea Dragon. There seems to be a wide variety of other creatures, so you might want to look for them If you love the ocean, whether it's a private tour or a group tour, you might want to join. It's easy to make reservations online
