Bushrangers Bay is a small embayment located at the eastern end of Bass Point Reserve.
An excellent sheltered dive site, it covers the whole bay including the shores, intertidal zones, kelp forests and submarine cliffs. The bay is three hectares in size extending from the mean high water mark to the seabed on the outer boundary.
As this is an aquatic reserve for plant and animal species and divers are requested to take care when touching soft corals as they break off easily. Within the reserve you cannot fish or destroy marine life. You are not permitted to collect dead or alive marine organisms, this includes empty shells.
One of the most striking features within the Aquatic Reserve is a cliff shaped like an amphitheatre in 10 metres of water, the cliffs are six metres high with hundreds of small cavities which are home to sea urchins and tropical fish.
