3/8" UNF male thread is the standard size used for the majority of 1st stage regulators, but certain makes of regulators require the larger 1/2" UNF size. If you are unaware of this, please check!

Pillar Point Bommie

Bommie Dive Bommie Dive | Shore access Shore access

Advanced Open Water Rated Ideal For Snorkelling Marine Park - No Fishing Reef Dive Site Slack Water Wilsons Promontory

Depth: 2 m (6.56 ft) to 25 m (82 ft)

Level: Advanced Open Water and beyond.

Pillar Point Bommie is an awesome diving and snorkelling site located close to Tidal River, off Pillar Point, at the north-western end of Norman Bay, on the western side of Wilsons Promontory. This dive site is suitable for both snorkelling and scuba diving from the shore or boat. While this area is close to the Tidal River camp ground, it's still a stiff walk in full scuba gear.

Pillar Point separates Norman Bay to the south, from Leonard Bay and Squeaky Beach to the north, and lies in the Wilson Promontory Marine Park.

Diving and Snorkelling at Pillar Point Bommie

For a shore entry you walk from Tidal River to the the northern end of Norman Bay Beach. You head out into the water staying parallel to the rocks on the southern side of Pillar Point. to Then you head out about 75 metres from the tip of Pillar Point to the bommie. If scuba diving, it would be best to snorkel out on the surface and leave exploring Pillar Point, South for the return journey.

The tip of Pillar Point has a large and spectacular granite bommie that lies about 75 metres offshore and rises to within 7 metres of the surface. This bommie lies off a "V"-shaped rock onshore with a large rounded boulder to its right.

The deeper sections of Pillar Point Bommie have very rich and colourful arrays of invertebrates, especially hydroids and anemones. Long-finned Pike, Magpie Perch, and Wrasse are common. Weedy Seadragons are also sometimes seen.

The water shallows closer to the base of Pillar Point, but still offers good diving, especially on the southern side ̬ see Pillar Point, South. These areas are popular with anglers and fish can be small and timid.

Be aware that there can be strong surge and currents away from the shoreline, especially at the tip of Pillar Point.

Ideal Conditions: Pillar Point Bommie is best dived with calm seas, no swell and no wind. Light offshore north-easterly to south-easterly winds may be acceptable. Avoid diving with moderate to strong onshore south-westerly to north-westerly winds. Because of the sometimes strong currents, Pillar Point Bommie is best dived at slack water. See WillyWeather (Pillar Point) as a guide for the tide times and the height of the tide.

Bass Strait Warning: Always keep an eye on sea conditions throughout any shore or boat dive in Bass Strait on Victoria's coastline. Please read the warnings on the web page diving-in-bass-strait before diving or snorkelling this site.

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.
