Sawtooth Rocks takes its descriptive name from the jagged, saw-toothed profile of the rock formation itself, part of the broader reef system surrounding the main Big and Little Seal Rock islands off Sugarloaf Point. As with several of the less individually documented features in the Seal Rocks area, it appears to function as a variation on the main island dives rather than a wholly distinct destination, offering broadly similar grey nurse shark and reef diving within the same general depth range and current conditions that define the area. The jagged topography itself likely provides good shelter and habitat complexity for the crustaceans, small reef fish and invertebrates that make up the base of the local food web supporting the area's larger, better-documented shark population.

Given the limited independent documentation specifically covering Sawtooth Rocks, divers should treat the depth, marine life and access details given here as indicative of the general Seal Rocks pattern rather than confirmed specifics for this particular formation. Forster Dive Centre would be the best source of current, accurate detail on whether this site is regularly included in trip itineraries and what divers can expect to find there on a given day. It is included here for completeness given its mention in the regional site inventory, and represents one of the many smaller, less formally catalogued reef patches that local operators describe as making up the hundreds of lesser-known dive spots around Seal Rocks beyond the two main named islands.

As with several of the area's minor named formations, first-hand local knowledge will paint a far more accurate and current picture than any general description can.

Boats for Seal Rocks either run the longer distance from Forster/Tuncurry (about 45-60 minutes) or launch locally from the Seal Rocks village boat ramp for a shorter run.

Seal Rocks sits on an exposed headland taking the full force of easterly and south-easterly swell — trips are cancelled beyond about 1.5 m swell. Visibility is typically 15-30 m in settled weather.

Descend onto the jagged rock formation and work its gutters and ridges at 10-25 m, watching for grey nurse sharks and the general Seal Rocks reef fauna typical of the broader area.
