Snapper Point sits at the southern end of Merry Beach, just north of Kioloa on the Murramarang coast south of Bawley Point. The Marine Life Network lists it as a shore or boat dive, notes a 500 m walk to the point and warns of steep and dangerous access points. Its standout feature is a large cave under the rock shelf. The coast here is inside the Batemans Marine Park and backed by Murramarang National Park, so it is quiet and relatively undisturbed.

The reef drops from the rock platform into kelp and boulders, then to deeper broken reef and sand. The cave under the shelf is the main attraction: an open, overhead space that shelters fish such as eastern blue devilfish, bullseyes and cardinalfish, with sponges and sea squirts on the walls and ceiling. Outside, expect blue groper, red morwong, sweep, luderick, eastern rock blackfish and schools of yellowtail, with wobbegongs and Port Jackson sharks under ledges. Weedy sea dragons are found in kelp along this coast.

Because of the walk and the rough entries, Snapper Point is mainly for experienced shore divers on flat days or for divers with their own boat. It is also a good site to combine with other Murramarang coast dives such as Pretty Beach, a more sheltered alternative, or Brush Island to the north. There is little detailed published information about the site layout, so depths here are indicative. Treat the cave with respect: it can surge powerfully, and there is no guide line or survey of it.

From Ulladulla drive south on the Princes Highway about 25 km and turn left onto Bawley Point Road, continuing south to Kioloa and the Merry Beach Caravan Resort area. From the end of the road it is roughly a 500 m walk carrying gear to the point, and the Marine Life Network warns the access points are steep and dangerous. Most divers now approach by boat: from Ulladulla Harbour it is about 40 minutes south, or from Batemans Bay a similar run north past Durras.

The point is exposed to swell from the east and south, and the steep rock entries become dangerous with anything more than a small swell. It needs a calm day, preferably after several days of westerlies, and ideally a morning before sea breezes. The cave under the shelf surges strongly in any swell and should only be entered when the sea is flat.

Visibility is reduced after rain from nearby creeks.

From a boat, anchor off the point on the sheltered side, descend and follow the rock face to the cave under the shelf. Look into the cave from the entrance or swim through only in flat conditions, then continue along the reef at 8–15 m and return to the anchor.

No scheduled operator trips; listed by the Marine Life Network. Occasional private boats and visiting clubs; Dive Adventures Ulladulla could run it on request.
