The Miflex Low Pressure (LP) BCD/Inflator/Jacket Carbon Pink colour hoses are supplied fitted with a standard Seatec style fitting, with an internal Schraider type valve and a 3/8" UNF male thread (to connect to the 1st stage regulator). There is a range of standard sizes to suit your requirements.
These hoses are suitable for the majority of BCD and Jacket connections, plus dry suit inflator connections, where a standard quick release coupler is utilised. But there are some fittings that require a different Quick Disconnect fitting. These we accommodate in our range with the use of adaptors that can be fitted to our regulator hoses (to convert them to an inflator hose).
Reef Dive | Boat access
Depth: 4 m (13 ft) to 6 m (20 ft)
Level: Open Water and beyond.
The Patches are a series of boulder reefs and ridges suitable for boat diving, off the entrance to the Moyne River, in Port Fairy Bay on Victoria's Shipwreck Coast.
The sandy bottom of Port Fairy Bay has an extensive network of these rocky reefs.
Dives on The Patches, near Port Fairy Lighthouse, provide a lot of small marine life to see.
Location: Port Fairy, Victoria 3284
Ideal Conditions: While the area is well protected and often diveable when many other sites are too rough, diving The Patches requires calm conditions and a very low swell. See WillyWeather (Port Fairy Bay) as a guide for the tide times and the height of the tide.
Boat Launching: While some head out from shore, we think The Patches are best dived from a dive boat which can be launched at the Port Fairy, Griffiths Street Boat Ramp.
{{southern-ocean-warning}}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.
