Point Blaze marks the southern end of Fog Bay, about 20 km south-west of Dundee. The Marine Life Network notes that 'most of the tropical bluewater species can be seen' in the area, and it is known to anglers for reef fish and pelagics. It is one of a chain of remote reef areas along this coast – Roche Reef to the north, the Peron Islands a further 30 km on – that are fished far more than dived.

Detailed underwater descriptions are not published. From the regional geography, divers should expect a mix of fringing reef, rocky ledges and coral bommies on sand, with the robust coral communities typical of turbid Top End waters: massive and encrusting hard corals, leather corals, sponges, gorgonians and sea whips. Fish life likely includes coral trout, snapper, cod, sweetlips and fingermark, with Spanish mackerel, queenfish, trevally and occasional sharks around the points on the moving tide. Turtles and dugong occur in the region.

The attraction of Point Blaze is remoteness: few people have dived it, and there is a real sense of exploration. The drawbacks are the long open-water run from Dundee, strong tidal flows around the point, variable visibility and abundant crocodiles on the adjacent coast.

This site is included on the strength of the Marine Life Network listing; anyone planning a dive here should treat it as an exploratory trip, go with experienced local boat operators, and be fully self-sufficient. It suits experienced divers who value remote, undocumented sites over reliable conditions.

From Dundee Beach (two hours' drive from Darwin), launch over the beach by tractor and run about 20 km south-west across Fog Bay to Point Blaze. The run crosses open water and should only be attempted in a seaworthy boat on a calm dry-season morning. There are no facilities at Point Blaze; carry spare fuel and water, locate reef on the sounder, and anchor in sand clear of coral.

The Dundee coast faces west into the Timor Sea. The dry season (May–October) is the diving season: the south-east trade wind blows offshore, mornings are calm and water clarity is at its best. Dive on neap tides at slack water – tidal ranges here are large, currents run hard around reefs and headlands on springs, and beach launching and retrieval at Dundee also depend on the tide.

Afternoon westerly sea breezes can chop up the sea. In the wet season (December–April) monsoon north-westerlies blow straight onshore, rivers flood with run-off, cyclones are possible and box jellyfish are present, so diving is rarely feasible.

Choose a reef edge on the sounder, anchor in sand and dive at slack water, following the edge at 8–12 m and staying within sight of the anchor line in reduced visibility. Keep dives conservative given the distance from help.

No dive operator based at Dundee. Private boats launched at Dundee Beach, occasional Darwin club trips, and fishing charters that may carry divers by arrangement.
