Mistral Point is the rocky headland between Maroubra Beach and Mahon Pool, and below it lies one of the least-known good reefs on the Eastern Suburbs coast. McFadyen found it in 2001–02 while scootering north from the Mahon Pool shore entry and realised it was a separate site with its own topography. The structure is a set of walls running almost east–west, stacked one above the other as you come in from the sea: sand at 23 m, a first wall rising to 20 m, a second to 17 m, then the main wall with its top at 15 m and base at 17–18 m, and finally a shallower formation at about 10 m connected to the main wall by a gutter system.

The western ends of the walls have small overhangs. Growth is the usual Sydney mix of sponges, sea squirts and small gorgonians, healthier than at more heavily dived sites because almost nobody comes here. The sand edge is the highlight for many: nine weedy seadragons were counted on one May dive, and giant cuttlefish, eastern blue devilfish under the ledges and large mosaic leatherjackets are regular.

Schools of luderick, bream, one-spot pullers and yellowtail hang over the walls, kingfish pass through and firefish and tropical wrasse appear in late summer. It is not a beginner's site: the exposure means it is only diveable on a handful of flat days each year, the shore approach from Mahon Pool is long and the exit hard, and there is no charter support. For a private boat from Botany Bay on a winter westerly it is a rewarding wall dive that pairs naturally with Mahon Pool or Magic Point to the south.

Effectively boat only – charter operators do not visit, so it is a private-boat site. Launch in Botany Bay (Cooks River/Kyeemagh or Foreshore Road ramps), run out past Cape Banks and north about 6 km past Long Bay and Maroubra Beach to the headland north of Mahon Pool, 25–35 minutes. Run in towards the GPS mark from the north-east (heading south-west) and anchor when the sounder shows the walls rising from 23 m.

Shore access is via the Mahon Pool entry and a long swim/scooter run north – only for very experienced divers on a flat day.

North Maroubra is one of the most swell-exposed stretches of the Eastern Suburbs and this site is diveable on only a limited number of days each year. It needs a flat sea – no more than about 1 m of swell from any direction – and ideally a westerly wind; any southerly or north-easterly swell surges over the shallow walls and makes the anchorage untenable. As a shore dive from Mahon Pool it requires millpond conditions and a low tide for the exit.

Best in winter and early spring after several days of westerlies. Visibility is usually good because the coast here is steep and clean.

Descend to the sand at 23 m and travel east along the sand edge for about 10 minutes looking for seadragons, then ascend the first wall (23–20 m) and follow it west, checking the overhangs. Return to the anchor via the main wall (15–18 m) and finish along the shallower 10 m wall and gutters to the west before ascending the line.

No regular charter – private boat or dive-club (St George Scuba Club) only; McFadyen notes charter operators 'do not seem interested'.
