The Steps is listed by the Marine Life Network as an Eden-area shore dive in a relatively sheltered inshore area, good as a shore dive or beginners' dive. It describes small boulders and crevices with good fish life, and colourful invertebrates below 15 m. No location or access details were given, and no other source describing it could be found.

The habitat described – small boulders and crevices – offers shelter for fish and invertebrates. In Twofold Bay such reefs typically hold blue groper, sweep, leatherjackets, wrasse, luderick and bream, with eastern blue devilfish and wobbegongs in the crevices, and octopus, cuttlefish and nudibranchs. Below 15 m, where light and wave action decrease, sponges, sea squirts and gorgonians add colour. Weedy sea dragons are common in the Eden area, particularly around East Boyd Bay.

The site suits beginners and training when conditions are right, and is presumably one of the local operators' standard shore dives. Because its location is unpublished, check with Dive Eden or Sapphire Coast Scuba before diving. Eden's local operators, Dive Eden and Sapphire Coast Scuba, run guided shore dives around the town and are the best source for this and other lesser-known sites. Their guides know which spots suit the day's wind and swell, and they can supply tank fills and hire gear. Eden has a long whaling history, and humpback whales still pass through Twofold Bay each spring on their southward migration, sometimes entering the bay to rest with calves, so surface intervals can be memorable. Until the site is confirmed, divers wanting an easy Eden shore dive can use the guided wharf dives at Snug Cove or Cattle Bay instead.

The Marine Life Network lists The Steps as a relatively sheltered inshore site suitable as a shore dive or beginners' dive, but does not give its location or access. The name suggests an entry down steps from a car park or path. Ask Dive Eden or Sapphire Coast Scuba (both in Eden) for the location and entry before diving; they run guided shore dives around the town.

Twofold Bay faces east. Its northern and southern shores give shelter from southerly and northerly swell respectively, but strong easterly swell rolls straight into the bay. Visibility is often good by NSW standards but drops after heavy rain, when the Towamba River and Nullica River flush into the bay, and during strong winds.

The Marine Life Network describes the site as relatively sheltered, suitable for beginners.

Enter at the recommended point, follow the small boulders and crevices seaward to about 15 m where the invertebrate colour increases, turn at half gas and return shallower. Surface near the entry to check the exit before coming in.
