Bass Point shore cave with blue devils and macro life.
Bass Point shore cave with blue devils and macro life.
Blue Devil Cave is a Bass Point shore dive with a short swim from The Gutter to a small cave that rewards slow, careful movement. It suits divers who like compact routes, rich temperate marine life, and a site that asks for good buoyancy and clear return-path awareness instead of fast cruising. The surrounding reef and swim-out route often hold plenty of small life, so the dive stays interesting from the first few meters to the cave and back again.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Includes a small cave; use appropriate overhead-environment caution and maintain clear navigation back to the exit.
Access Restrictions
Shore access from The Gutter and overhead-environment awareness are the main planning constraints.
Legal Notes
Treat the cave as an overhead environment and follow Bass Point access rules.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Max depth is around 22 m, allowing time to explore marine life on the swim out and back.
Freediving
The site is much better suited to scuba, though the shallow route can be explored briefly by confident freedivers.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling only covers the entry water; the cave and the best wildlife are underwater.
