“Viz was down to about 3m so we decided to head over the reef after the anchor. The viz did improve to around 8m and was ok until we got to about 14m deep.

Decided to head back in and the viz was improving as we got back into the Haven.
Still better than going to work...

Park at Reid's Reserve, gear up and wade out into the little protected bay. Out near the end it drops down to around 2m, descend here.
Head North-east until you come to sand and the head south following the rock ledge.
Coming back, head north until you notice the rock formation flatten out with a small sandy channel, follow this South-west back into the protected bay.
Try not to enter the channel on an in coming tide as the current can be strong.
This can be an amazing dive on a good day where you can see so many things.
“Meh, still a good dive.

Unfortunately there is just under 80 stairs to get down to this site, these are a killer on the way back up but the dive is well worth it.
It is very easy to navigate this site. Head towards the East on the way out and West on the way back.
Enter from the shore at the bottom of the stairs, drop down in about 2 meters and follow either the right or left hand side. It narrows around the middle and then drops down to around 20 metres once you pass through the narrow channel into the outer 'bowl' (it is pretty much a figure 8). Again following the wall around and once you start to feel the surge of the open ocean, start to head back to the West. Exploring the sandy area can bring a few surprise findings.
To see, there was a huge array of fish as well as Grey Nurse Sharks, Port Jackson Sharks, Crested Horn Sharks, Spotted Wobbies, Southern Eagle Ray and a very rare sighting of a Sandy-back Stingaree.

Very nice dive once you get out past the barren boulders.
Several out-crops of rocks with very nice sponge gardens.
Entry is from the rocks in the Gutter, drop down and head North.
There is a rock ledge on the left hand side which is handy when you come back in.
Once you get to around 14 meters, start exploring.
You can find a range of fish, invertebrates and sponges.
When you are done, head south to come back to the Gutter and the exit.
This site can be affected by North/North East winds. One of our divers got into trouble when he tried to surface swim and was washed onto the rocks.

Nice site that has a cave going into the cliff about 100m, however due to the surge we did do the cave.
There was issue with a couple of the other divers so we didn't cover much ground but still saw a fair bit.
A Seal came to see what we were doing when we first descended.

The Haven can be dived in a few different way and on the right day can be an awesome dive site.
Dive 1 - the easiest way is to get in near the boat ramp and follow the rocks keeping them on your right hand side on the way out and the left on the way back.
Dive 2 - again getting in at the boat ramp, follow the rocks until about 20m past the big anchor and the head due East until you come across the sand again. There is very nice sponge gardens out around this area. Try to remember where you got to the sand so that you can head back roughly the same way.
Dive 3 - my favourite but can only be done on a calm day. Walk around the rock platform until you get to a little protected area and jump in. Head NE until you get to the sand and then dive back around to the boat ramp.
