Towradgi Point is a low rocky headland separating Towradgi and Corrimal beaches in Wollongong's northern suburbs. With an ocean pool, a park and a car park right on the point, it is one of the most convenient shore dives in the city and is used by local divers when the sea is flat.

The reef lies close to the platform: within 50 m of the entry gutter the rock slopes to sand at about 15 m. The habitat is typical kelp-and-boulder Illawarra reef with ledges and cracks. Wobbegongs rest under the overhangs, blue groper cruise the reef, and morwong and leatherjackets are common. Port Jackson sharks gather in winter, cuttlefish in the cooler months, and eastern rock lobsters and nudibranchs reward a careful look in the cracks. Visibility is typically 5–10 m.

The main hazard is surge on the rock platform, particularly on a rising tide with any east or south-east swell, and the algae-covered rock is slippery. Towradgi Creek enters the sea just to the north, so water quality and visibility deteriorate after heavy rainfall. Given those constraints, the site is best on a calm winter day at low to mid tide. It will never match Bass Point for variety, but it is a handy, low-effort dive for Wollongong-based divers, and it makes a good venue for a quick evening or night dive in settled conditions. Its proximity to United Divers at Fairy Meadow means fills and advice are only a couple of kilometres away, and the park setting with toilets and a pool makes it family-friendly for non-diving companions.

From Wollongong drive north on Memorial Drive or Towradgi Road to Towradgi Park beside the Towradgi ocean pool. Park in the beach car park, walk out onto the rock platform on the southern or eastern side of the point near the pool, and enter where a gutter gives enough depth. The swim to the main reef is less than 50 m.

The northern Illawarra shore sites face east and are exposed to swell from the north-east round to the south-east; southerly swell wraps around the headlands. Diving is only practical in swell under about 1 m with a low-to-mid tide on the rock platform. North-easterly sea breezes build on summer afternoons, so dive early.

Visibility is typically 5–10 m and drops sharply after rain because of creek and stormwater run-off. Winter (June–August) westerlies give the flattest seas and clearest water. Surge on the platform is worst on incoming tides with any east to south-east swell; Towradgi Creek discolours the water after rain.

Enter through the gutter, swim less than 50 m to the reef and follow it seaward to the sand at 12–15 m. Circle back along the reef edge and exit through the same gutter before the tide rises.

No regular operator; used by local divers. United Divers (Fairy Meadow, 2 km away) is the nearest shop.
