Longnose Point is an inner-bay headland on the northern shore of Jervis Bay near Honeymoon Bay. McFadyen is frank about it: it is not a great dive site by any means, but it serves as a shallower dive protected from northerly seas for those times when that is exactly what is needed. Depths run from about 5 m to 22 m over rocky reef, boulders and sand.

The reef supports the usual inner-bay community – leatherjackets, wrasse, blue groper, bream and luderick, with cuttlefish in the cooler months and weedy sea dragons in the weedier sections. Small walls, overhangs and cracks provide some structure, and the sand edge is worth checking for rays and flathead. There is nothing dramatic, but a slow dive can still turn up nudibranchs and other macro life, and conditions are usually calm.

The site is most useful as a fallback when strong north-easterlies make the outer coast unpleasant and the operators want a sheltered spot for a second dive or for training. It is also listed by the Currarong Community Association among the bay sites that can be reached via Long Beach when the Beecroft Weapons Range is open. Divers wanting more from the northern shore should look to The Docks and Inner Point Perpendicular, and those who want a relaxed, shallow, uncrowded dive will find Longnose Point perfectly pleasant. Darts Point, just to the west, offers a similar profile with ridges and giant cuttlefish. A torch helps bring out the colour of the sponges under the overhangs.

Charters depart Huskisson (Dive Jervis Bay; boats in Currambene Creek), and private boats launch at Huskisson, Callala Bay or Murrays Beach. Cross the bay north-east towards the Beecroft Peninsula shore; Longnose Point is the headland on the northern shore between Honeymoon Bay and Darts Point, about 10–15 minutes from Huskisson. It can also be reached via Long Beach when the Beecroft Weapons Range is open.

The northern shore of Jervis Bay is sheltered from all ocean swell except a large south-easterly rolling in through the entrance, and it is protected from northerly and north-easterly winds by the Beecroft Peninsula, which makes it the standard summer venue when afternoon nor'easters roughen the outer coast. Strong southerly and south-westerly winds blow across the bay and make the northern shore choppy and the crossing from Huskisson wet. Visibility varies considerably with sea state and rainfall – typically 8–20 m.

Tidal currents are weak except near Point Perpendicular and the entrance.

Descend at 8–10 m, follow the reef edge along the point to 15–20 m, then return shallower among the rocks. Keep the dive simple – the site's value is its shelter.

Dive Jervis Bay (Huskisson; boats Avalon and Genesis) runs double boat dives most days, and Deep 6 Diving Jervis Bay / other Huskisson operators also visit; site chosen on the day according to swell and wind. Used mainly as a sheltered fallback.
