Home Bommie is one of the standard Ulladulla boat dives and gets its name from being close to home port. The Marine Life Network describes it as a double-ledged wall of 15–26 m covered in sponges, sea whips and sea tulips, with large boulders, crevices and caves. Dive Adventures Ulladulla lists it at a maximum of 26 m and standard 15–20 m, and promotes the colourful marine life, the caves and occasional seal encounters. Fur seals from the colonies at Montague Island and Jervis Bay sometimes visit Ulladulla's reefs, especially in winter and spring.

The two ledges give the dive a natural structure. The upper ledge at around 15 m has kelp and reef fish, while the lower ledge and the base of the wall hold the best invertebrate growth: sponges in many colours, sea tulips, sea whips and sea squirts. The boulders at the base create crevices and small caves that shelter eastern blue devilfish, wobbegongs and Port Jackson sharks, and morays in holes in the wall. Over the reef there are schools of yellowtail, silver sweep, one-spot pullers and pomfrets, along with red morwong and blue groper.

Because it is close to the harbour, Home Bommie gets dived when other sites cannot be reached, and it suits Open Water divers who can manage an 18–20 m dive with a guide. It is a good introduction to Ulladulla's offshore reefs before tackling the deeper sites. The name is shared with other bommies on the NSW coast, so check you have the Ulladulla one.

Boat access only. Charters and private boats launch from the public ramp inside Ulladulla Harbour, reached off the Princes Highway in the centre of Ulladulla (about three hours' drive south of Sydney); there is trailer parking around the harbour and the dive shop is a short walk away. As the name suggests it is one of the closest sites to the harbour, a few minutes' run, and it is often the choice when the swell is too big for the longer trip to Burrill Rocks.

The operator anchors on the bommie; no public mark has been published, so private boats should ask the dive shop for the position.

Its closeness to the harbour makes it a bad-weather fall-back. It still takes easterly swell, but the depth keeps divers below most surge, and a short run means a trip is possible in seas that stop the longer trips. Avoid strong north-easterly afternoon winds in summer, which make anchoring and recovery uncomfortable.

Visibility drops after heavy rain and large seas; the clearest water tends to be in autumn and early winter.

Descend to the upper ledge, then drop to the base of the wall and circle the bommie along its lower ledge, looking into crevices and the small caves. Return along the upper ledge at 15 m to the anchor.

Dive Adventures Ulladulla runs Home Bommie regularly on MV Duckunder (lists max 26 m, standard 15–20 m, caves and seal encounters). McFadyen lists Home Bommie with the Burrill Rocks pages.
