Ripbank - Depth:15 - 60m AOW
A fantastic underwater cliff just outside Port Phillip heads. The currents through here dictate this dive only be conducted on a slack water at the end of the ingoing or flood tide and even then only when conditions are calm outside the bay. The passage of the current here runs along the wall and can be extremely fast. There are a lot of crayfish to be caught along the top of the wall. The wall itself is very steep with large overhangs and beautiful colours. The other great thing about this dive is that almost every dive somebody gets to see sharks swimming along the wall. They do tend to swim about 10 to 15 meters from the wall and just cruise past checking things out. The sharks are Seven Gills which can grow upto 3 metres in length and are quite inquisitive towards divers.

The Playground - Depth: 15 - 50 metres AOW
The Playground is a section of Rip Bank Wall, located at the West End section of the wall. This dive starts at 15 metres which is at the top of the wall, and as you proceed over the drop-off it bottoms out at about 50 metres while varying in topography as you descend and reach your desired depth. With small caves and over hangs the fish life is abundant and graded as the prettiest dive in the Bay. For the diver who likes to search, explore and grab the odd cray this is the dive for you.

Spot G - Depth: 20 - 40 mtrs AOW
Spot “G” is a stunning part of the Lonsdale wall cliff system. The wall here runs North to South with deeper water to the East. The Wall has some huge splits or cracks in the area with a few pieces having broken away from the wall itself. This is wall diving at its best. Lots of fish and some incredible colours make this photographer’s heaven.

Spec(tacular) Reef - Depth: 15 - 45 metres AOW
Spec Reef lies in the South Channel and is therefore subject to shipping traffic and currents. Being apart of the old Yarra River system, the area is quite large and offers many different dive sites. All dives are characterised by a spectacular wall, which has large undercuts housing many crayfish, Blue Devil fish, an abundance of soft corals and other marine life. The abundance of life on the edge of the drop-offs is quite spectacular. The most diverse section of fish life exists between 15 metres and 30 metres.

Lonsdale Arches - Depth 12-18 metres OW
Approx 1 kilometre from the Point Lonsdale Lighthouse and just outside Port Phillip Heads is an amazing area of Bommies or underwater rock formations. The strong current flow in this area has created a nutrient rich environment and subsequently prolific marine growth and the associated marine life. But it is the amazing rock formations that make this dive site special. This site has a couple of amazing swim throughs that are very safe easy to enter. A favourite spot for catching Crays.
