Shore Dives
Bass Strait is a 200 kilometres (124 miles) "funnel" for the great Southern Ocean as it surges through between Victoria and Tasmania to join the Pacific Ocean to the east. Along the Victorian coastline of Bass Strait, scuba divers can choose from more than 120 shore dives, giving an outstanding variety of experiences:
- capes and headlands
- major bays
- dozens of offshore reefs (limestone, sandstone and basalt)
- a great variety of temperate marine life (including abalone and crays)
- easily accessible jetties and piers
- shipwrecks and hulks
- sea caves, blowholes, some tricky drifts
- many safe night dives and introductory day sites for newly qualified divers to enjoy developing their dive skills
