Exposed Port Macquarie wall dive with drift lines.
North Shore B Wall is a Port Macquarie north-shore wall dive with a drift-friendly profile and exposed coastal conditions. It suits divers who are comfortable planning around moving water, surf, and an exit that can change with tide and swell. The dive is less about an easy reef cruise and more about reading the wall, staying compact, and treating the day as condition-led.

Safety Notes

Access Restrictions
Access and exit can be limited by rough-track conditions, ferry timing, and the state of the beach or wall.
