Why dive here
With 129+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, blue whales, dolphins, dwarf minke whales and great white sharks - Flinders Pier offers some of Victoria's richest reef diving. Water ranges 13-20°C, warmest January, February, March.
Flinders Pier is the perfect alternative when Port Phillip is blown out due to northerly winds. This site is protected from these winds and is best dived during high tide. There is very little depth at low tide. Maximum depth: 5m. Average visibility: 7m. A great site for Weedy Sea Dragons! You will often find cuttlefish, large smooth rays and eagle rays, crabs, and plenty of other little fish and critters as well.
Safety Notes
Cold water this month (avg 15°C). Drysuit or thick wetsuit (7mm+) recommended.
