SNORKELLING


The Scuba Doctor is one of the largest retailers and mail order suppliers of snorkeling gear, including new Snorkels, Snorkel Masks, Snorkel Fins, Snorkel Sets and Packages, plus Snorkel Bags, in Melbourne and Australia. The best combination of top brands, quality service, vast selection, knowledgeable staff and everyday low pricing.

Snorkelling sets can either come as a manufacturer prepackaged mask and snorkel set (with or without fins), or a set we have customised to combine different features that will suit specific snorkellers' needs. For example, if you are a nervous snorkeller then perhaps you would want to spend the extra dollars for a completely dry snorkel with a float at the top that greatly minimises the amount of water that gets into the snorkel, or if you are a comfortable snorkeller then this feature is probably an overkill.

With our knowledge over the years we have tried to combine some of the best snorkelling equipment features and price to make your life easier when it comes to choosing!

For quality child and junior snorkelling gear, please see Kids Corner.

Ideal For Snorkelling Inside Port Phillip Night Dive Site Open Water Rated

Depth: 2 m (6.56 ft) to 5 m (16 ft)

Level: Open Water and beyond.

Ideal Conditions:
High tide gives extra depth under the walkway. See WillyWeather (Cunningham Pier) as a guide for the tide times and the height of the tide.

What To Expect:
Flathead, old wives, moonlighters etc. can be seen on the silty bottom.

The Geelong Sea Baths site is quite crap and the vis is often going to be atrocious. Lots of rubbish in the sea baths and it's quite icky. If you swim along the inside of the baths, the bars will bang against each other which is kind of freaky.

Not much sealife but that could be because of the bad viz. There are some sponge growths on the sea bath walls. Lots of relics to find that people have dropped in amongst the rubbish.

Location: Geelong, Bellarine Peninsula, Corio Bay.
MELWAY Ref: Page 452 E3

Weather Required: Protected from all winds other than NE winds, however, visibility will be ruined by any wind around Corio Bay as it is stirred up easily.

Access: Short walk from thecar park. Fee for the car park, but not sure how much.

Facilities: Toilets, cafe near by.

Traditional Owners — This dive site is in the traditional Country of the Wathaurong (Wadda-Warrung) people of the Kulin Nation. This truly ancient Country includes the coastline of Port Phillip, from the Werribee River in the north-east, the Bellarine Peninsula, and down to Cape Otway in the south-west. We wish to acknowledge the Wathaurong 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.
