Millers Point is characterized by coral reefs interspersed with sandy bottoms and kelp forests. If you love kelp forests, this is the place to go. Swimming through the long kelp leaves you'll encounter multiple species, including large schools of fish and sometimes sharks. The rocks are the domain of octopuses and on the sandy bottom you'll encounter colorful starfish, anemones, nudibranchs and sea urchins. The best time to dive Millers Point is early morning or a little later in the evening.
