About this dive site

This dive site is located on the northern side of Warrnambool Breakwater. The breakwater offers protection from the southern swells of the Southern Ocean and Southerly winds, creating a relatively sheltered diving environment. A prominent feature is a concrete structure providing habitat for kelp, which in turn supports a variety of marine life. This area provides an interesting dive experience.
