Terrigal shore dive below the Skillion with a boulder-formed cave, rocky wall, boulders, and kelp-covered shallows.
About Skillion Cave
Skillion Cave is a shore dive below Terrigal's Skillion where a large boulder has fallen into a reef wall to create a cave-like crevice. The site mixes a rock-platform entry, kelp-covered shallows, boulders, a wall, and a sheltered crack that rewards calm-water dives and careful route-finding. It is a strong Central Coast dive for photographers and divers who enjoy macro life, schooling fish, and a bit of swim-to-the-site effort.
