In 1982 the local diving community with much assistance from Fisheries achieved that which they had been pushing for a number of years; namely having Bushrangers Bay named as an Aquatic Reserve. Thus this much protected hourglass shaped bay has a lot to offer. Access to the bay is via a purpose built stairwell which leads onto a pebbled beach. This can be a spectacular dive with easy navigation due to the shape. The inner bay is only 5-6 meters maximum, following the channel into the outer bay dropping to 18-20 meters maximum depth with a huge diversity of fish life. The temperate water reef system and rocks seem to have a congregation of marine life due to the protection which the bay has had for the last 27 years.
