Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Kelvin Grove
It looked mighty nice, however you may now find it impossible to dive there. Apparently the neighborhood association decided to 'privatize' the beach, which effectively ended all diving there, unless you can kayak in from elsewhere. We present the site, nonetheless, in the hopes that it will one day reopen to us Marine Explorers. You must go to the marina at Lions Bay and get a parking permit then return back to Kelvin Grove.
Heading North from Horseshoe Bay, after about 10km, take the first exit into Lions Bay. Wind your way South, toward the water. You'll dead end at the park.

Me and my buddies dove this site couple of times before we found a new wall on the far left side of the bay. We entered on the far left side point (where the picnic table is located) and after we dropped down we followed a little boring sandy/rocky bottom, swimming for about 10 minutes at 40ft. The wall we discovered there was a nice gradual to steep slope from around 40 to 70 ft with average level of life on it. Saw a big octopus in a crack. There were multiple little caverns along the wall with rockfish and lingcod. We came to the end of the wall where the bottom continued with just sand and rocks. That's where we turned on half air and went up a little shallower to explore the wall a bit more on the way back. This was a nice dive where we did not get too cold as we did a fair amount of swimming. We would definitely like to explore the wall a bit more next time. The vis was pretty good for October.
