Dive-site story
Sheltered inside Lady Bay by the historic concrete barrier, this temperate shore dive provides an easy training ground on Victoria's rugged Shipwreck Coast. Divers explore large tumbled concrete blocks, kelp patches, and sandy bottom zones protected from the open ocean swell. Marine animals congregate around the structure, seeking refuge from the rougher Southern Ocean waters.
Smooth stingrays and southern eagle rays gliding over the sand patches
Weedy seadragons and big-belly seahorses camouflaged among sea lettuce and kelp
Macro hunting along the submerged base of the breakwater blocks
