Limestone Head: a sheltered Albany boat dive with easy navigation.
Limestone Head is a sheltered Albany boat dive with a rocky limestone reef, easy navigation, and plenty of fish life. Reached by a short run from the marina, it is best treated as a relaxed temperate-water outing, with the comfort coming from its protected position and simple line rather than from any technical challenge. The reef profile stays friendly and open, with fish schools and a calm-weather feel that make it a good low-friction dive when the south-wind window is on.
