About Barries Bay

Barries Bay is a Port Macquarie reef dive in Limeburners Creek National Park with gutters, rocky structure, and a shallow-to-mid-depth profile that draws wobbegongs, rays, turtles, octopus, and seasonal sharks. Calm days make the inshore reef and bay edge the most workable part of the site, while the outer edge is more open and deserves a disciplined, conservative plan. It is a better choice for methodical reef work than for a rushed or casual drift around the bay.
