Underwater Photo / Video


Welcome to The Scuba Doctor online underwater photography and video store. We have a growing range of specialist waterproof underwater camera housings, underwater video camera housings, and everything you need for underwater photography in the marine, ocean, sailing, or surfing environment.

An underwater camera is a must for any diver wanting to capture memories of their time below the surface. Underwater photography has increased in popularity over recent times and as the technology has continued to develop, the quality of underwater cameras available has improved dramatically. Many underwater cameras now have a white balance feature built-in, allowing reds back into stills and videos.



Melbourne Shore Dives

Melbourne Shore Dives by The Scuba Doctor

With two large ports (Port Phillip and Western Port) plus an ocean coastline nearby, Melbourne always has plenty of magnificent shore diving and snorkelling locations on offer regardless of the weather conditions and season.

It all starts on the Bellarine Peninsula and Corio Bay, south of Melbourne on the Western side of Port Phillip. Cottage By The Sea Reef, in Lonsdale Bay, is a great shore dive.

Melbourne's popular beaches and marine protected areas along the shores and 260 kilometres (162 miles) coastline of Port Phillip have many great wonders to be found by intrepid snorkellers and scuba divers. The natural beauty and local marine life to be found is simply amazing.

South of Melbourne on the Mornington Peninsula, more than 100 different species of nudibranchs have been sighted under Blairgowrie Pier. You'll more than likely come across seahorses at Rye Pier and weedy sea dragons at Portsea Pier.


"Who would believe.. this is Melbourne!" by David Bryant, SeaPics

Experienced and adventurous divers can also check out the rugged shores of Melbourne's Back Beaches on the Nepean Peninsula, where the land meets the often wild seas of Bass Strait. Diamond Bay and others are probably the best shore diving sites in the whole of Victoria, but can only be accessed when conditions are just right. See also, Diving the Back Beaches.

Finally, there are some unique dive sites in Western Port. Flinders Pier is a popular choice, especially when you want to take a look at weedy sea dragons. See also, Weedy Seadragons Melbourne.

Such a wide variety of dive locations and so many choices. And it's all cheaply accessible by scuba diving or snorkelling at these great shore dive sites close to Melbourne.

Back Beaches and Cape Schanck
— Point Nepean to Cape Schanck

Probably the best shore diving in the whole of Victoria is diving the Back Beaches of the Nepean Peninsula. These dive sites are exposed to the seas of Bass Strait and the ocean swells which has resulted in a heavily eroded underwater landscape full of caves, tunnels, gullies, swim throughs and canyons crammed with oceanic fish and marine life. You'll find a range of fish hiding within this environment like wrasse, parrot fish, whiting, abalone, rays, wobegongs, port jackon sharks and more! There is also a lot of kelp cover around these areas.

However the swell, storms, massive waves and fierce rips make these sites highly dangerous for divers except in rare flat conditions. But as all of the local divers know, when the conditions are right, the diving is magnificent!

But these are tough dive sites not for the average diver, with real problems and serious consequences if you get it wrong. Don't underestimate the problems that lie in wait, or overestimate your own abilities when diving the Back Beaches.

Winds: Diving the Back Beaches is generally only possible after several days of no winds, or several days of prolonged northerly winds. These conditions flatten out the swells.

Tides: Make all of your entries on Low Tide, or 1 to 2 hours before Low Tide. Tidal ranges on the Back Beaches are in the order of several metres. Low Tide exposes the entry and exit rock platforms you need to use.

Surf and Swells: Looking at any of the Back Beach dive sites when the surf is pounding in should convince you to forget it and head for the calmer waters of Port Phillip or Western Port. Even on days when it seems the surf and swell is low, watch the sea for at least 20-30 minutes to see what happens.

Rips: All of the Back Beach dive site are rip prone. Swimmers and divers have been drowned at these sites. Australian Prime Minister Harold Holt died in wild surf conditions at Cheviot Beach on 17 December 1967. Be aware of rips in relation to your planned dive route and make sure you surface several times during the dive to make sure you're still on course.

Platforms and Exits: The limestone platforms of the Back Beach dive sites are separated by gullies which are usually the most protected entry and exit points. Before you begin your dive, locate a few exit point options just in case conditions change while you are underwater. Always return to shore with plenty of air in reserve. It could be vital if you experience difficult conditions while exiting, or get tangled in the kelp.

Shore Dives of Victoria

Bass Strait is a 200 kilometres (124 miles) "funnel" for the great Southern Ocean as it surges through between Victoria and Tasmania to join the Pacific Ocean to the east. Along the Victorian coastline of Bass Strait, scuba divers can choose from more than 120 shore dives, giving an outstanding variety of experiences:

  • capes and headlands
  • major bays
  • dozens of offshore reefs (limestone, sandstone and basalt)
  • a great variety of temperate marine life (including abalone and crayfish)
  • easily accessible jetties and piers
  • shipwrecks and hulks
  • sea caves, blowholes, some tricky drifts
  • many safe night dives and introductory day sites for newly qualified divers to enjoy developing their dive skills
