Drysuit Accessories


The Scuba Doctor dive shop has a great range of Drysuit Accessories that are ideal for making your drysuit perfectly suited to the diving that you undertake. Maybe you need a Pee Valve, which is a must have for technical divers as it allows you to remain properly hydrated at all stages of the dive. It also makes diving in the winter more comfortable as you can keep your suit on all day. Gaiters are useful for divers who find the calves of their drysuit too baggy. Gaiters are elasticated and help to keep gas out of your lower legs and feet to help trim and confidence.

Maybe you just need hangers and accessories to properly care for and maintain your dry suit. Or maybe it's something more complicated like an argon drysuit inflation system, a necessity for divers using helium in their main breathing gas. Whatever your need The Scuba Doctor either already has a solution, or we can get one for you.



Shelly Beach Reef

Reef Dive Reef Dive | Boat access Boat access

Abalone Dive Site Crayfish Dive Site Open Water Rated Reef Dive Site Spearfishing Site

Depth: 3 m (9.84 ft) to 20 m (66 ft)

Level: Open Water and beyond.

The Shelly Beach Reef boat dive site is about 600 metres north-west of Eagle Rock, and south-east of Levys Point, on Victoria's Shipwreck Coast. It's an abalone and crayfish hunting site offshore from the Thunder Point Coastal Reserve.

Diving at Shelly Beach Reef

Shelly Beach Reef faces south-west into the Southern Ocean and has some excellent reef terrain.

The area is rich in marine life due to the racing currents and rough seas providing plenty of food. The rocky bottom extends up to 2 kilometres out to sea gradually getting deeper.

Location: Warrnambool, Victoria 3280

Ideal Conditions: The Shelly Beach Reef dive site is prone to surge and swell. It's best dived in very good conditions with a low swell with light offshore northerly to easterly winds. See WillyWeather (Shelly Beach) as a guide for the tide times and the height of the tide.

Boat Launching: Shelly Beach Reef and the other reefs in the area are best reached by boat from the Port Fairy, Griffiths Street Boat Ramp. While the Warrnambool (Lady Bay) boat ramp is closer, it's also more problematic.

Eastern Maar country
Eastern Maar country

Traditional Owners — This dive site is in the traditional Country of the Eastern Maar people of south-western Victoria between the Shaw and Eumerella Rivers and from Yambuk in the south to beyond Lake Linlithgow in the north. This truly ancient Country extends as far north as Ararat and encompasses the coastal townships of Port Fairy in the west, Warrnambool, Peterborough, Port Campbell, Apollo Bay, Lorne, and Airies Inlet in the east, including the Great Ocean Road area. It also stretches 100 metres out to sea from low tide and therefore includes the iconic Twelve Apostles. "Eastern Maar" is a name adopted by the people who identify as Maar, Eastern Gunditjmara, Tjap Wurrung, Peek Whurrong, Kirrae Whurrung, Kuurn Kopan Noot and/or Yarro waetch (Tooram Tribe) amongst others. We wish to acknowledge the Eastern Maar as Traditional Owners. We pay respect to their Ancestors and their Elders, past, present and emerging.

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.
