Top Snorkeling and Scuba Diving in Port Botany

This dive site is a man made wall which was created when they made Botany Bay the new port for container ships. The wall is made up of many large concrete blocks of diff shapes which are randomly placed along the waters edge, these blocks create a wall of many many crevices and big cave like holes with a lot of spots where you can actually enter into one hole and exit out of another. Its a really interesting shallow dive and something a little bit different to what we all usually dive. A lot of fish life live amongst these big blocks and its not unusual to see very large species of fish. Put your boat in at Foreshore Road Boat Ramp, located on Foreshore rd, Port Botany. Its a big boat ramp area with plenty of parking. Its only a short 5min boat ride, you will head out with a aeroplane run way on your right and you will see the big container ships getting loaded up on your left. Once you get past the container ships head towards your left and go around the point at Molineaux Point Lookout. You can anchor up anywhere along the big concrete block wall, we usually throw the anchor out about 20m before the wall ends. I haven't dived this site from shore but if doing a shore dive caution needs to be taken when climbing down the concrete blocks to get to the water.

The Tri-bars can be entered at almost anytime and free access to the surface is continual. However many chambers and cathedral rooms can be found. Drive along the main road out to the port container wall park in the car park and check out the dive site by looking over the low wall. Move to the wire fencing and seek hole in same. Dive gear can be handled over the wall and then doned at the top of wall before walking (carefully!) down the tribars to the waters edge. Dive on the high tide for best vis and little current. The Tribars is also known as The Container Wall.
