Crawfish Rock lies 1.5 kilometres north of Scrub Point in the main tidal channel of the North Arm of Western Port off the north-western tip of French Island. It features deep reefs, pinnacles, canyons and underwater channels.

Access is by boat and the rock is exposed at low tide. There is strong and reversing current action with deep surrounding waters at this site which have prevented the accumulation of sand and gravel beaches and spits.

Crawfish Rock slips down to 32 m (105 ft) on one side and drops off to 26 m (85 ft) on the French island side.

The marine community at Crawfish Rock is unique, with very high invertebrate diversity. A number of threatened species make their homes here. The area has a unique and vulnerable marine community that it supports, which includes threatened Hydroids.

Best dived at slack water. See WillyWeather (Warneet Pier) as a guide for the tide times and the height of the tide.

Traditional Owners — This dive site is in the traditional Country of the Boon Wurrung / Bunurong people of the Kulin Nation. This truly ancient Country includes parts of Port Phillip, from the Werribee River in the north-west, down to Wilson's Promontory in the south-east, including the Mornington Peninsula, French Island and Phillip Island, plus Western Port. We wish to acknowledge the Boon Wurrung as Traditional Owners. We pay respect to their Ancestors and their Elders, past, present and emerging. We acknowledge Bunjil the Creator Spirit of this beautiful land, who travels as an eagle, and Waarn, who protects the waterways and travels as a crow, and thank them for continuing to watch over this Country today and beyond.

DISCLAIMER: No claim is made by The Scuba Doctor as to the accuracy of the dive site coordinates listed here. Should anyone decide to use these GPS marks to locate and dive on a site, they do so entirely at their own risk. Always verify against other sources.

The marks come from numerous sources including commercial operators, independent dive clubs, reference works, and active divers. Some are known to be accurate, while others may not be. Some GPS marks may even have come from maps using the AGD66 datum, and thus may need be converted to the WGS84 datum. To distinguish between the possible accuracy of the dive site marks, we've tried to give each mark a source of GPS, Google Earth, or unknown.
