About Kurnell Steps

The spot is a bit of a decent down the cliff face at Botany Bay Reserve and an entry at the Leap. If done as a drift in the right current it's awesome to view the marine life on the boulders and in the kelp. Once you're into the dive you'll swim over some pink and white boulders with no growth until you see kelp gardens full of weedy sea dragons. A right hook will take you in for quite a way to another set of boulders with gardens to explore.
