Technicolor tropics

The big headlands that extend like great pincer-like arms to form Jervis Bay are a major reason behind the excellence of the diving here. The whole of the east coast of Australia is swept by a tropical current arising from the Coral Sea; these headlands jut out into this great stream of warm water and capture some of it. The warm water, accompanying tropical marine life, and clear, calm conditions make for the best diving anywhere along the southern coast.
