Flinders |
Flinders Pier
Flinders is an all time favourite, especially
if the wind is blowing from a northerly direction as it is very well
protected. It is best dived on an out going tide. There are lots of
interesting creatures there but is best known for its sea dragons. Call in
at Harbour Dive for a full brief on the site if you haven't dived it before
.
Blairgowrie Marina |
Diamond Bay |
Dromana Pier |
Blairgowrie Marina Blairgowrie Marina is a
favourite with photographers because of the amount of unique creatures
hiding there. But you have to look hard as many are well camouflaged. Is
susceptible to currents so check with Harbour Dive for more information and
maps. Please take care not to enter the inside of the Marina as this is a
boating area.
Rye Pier This is a very popular
pier and is used as a training site by many of the dive schools.
It has a lot of juvenile life. More life is seen at night when
all the nocturnal creatures are out. If you haven't dived it
before remember to dive in daylight before doing a night dive.
A shallow dive rarely over 5
metres. It has a long pier walk to the lower landing which
is the usual entry and exit point. Check with Harbour Dive for a
map and more information on this site.

The Mornington Peninsula has a great number of pier
and reef dives both inside the bay and along the coast
For beginner divers it is best to stay inside the bay
unless, experienced with waves, tides and currents, as the "back
beaches" or surf beaches have their own unique entries, exits and
local rips, currents and weather conditions.
Always check with your local dive shop for
information on a dive site if you have not dived it before or
conditions are different from you last dive. |
Diamond Bay Diamond is
what is consideed a "surf beach" or "back beach" , whichever way you look at
it, it is affected by rips and currents and very dangerous, in certain
weather conditions. However with the right knowledge and a good pair of legs
to walk down the stairs, this is an excellent dive, with lots of kelp and
the occasional crayfish. Very pretty and exciting dive on the right day.
Check with Harbour Dive for more details.
  
Old Dromana Pier
The pier is not dived by many people
often, yet it is a great night dive. Before diving at night it is always
advisable to dive or snorkel during daylight hours.
The old pier is not visible from the
surface and is in fact a series of cut off pylons approx 100m directly off
the end of the current pier. Great for octopus, squid and other assorted
night critters .
