Melbourne Wall Dives

Melbourne Wall Dives by The Scuba Doctor

Once you've made your first wall dive in Melbourne, you'll be hooked. Our coral and sponge covered underwater walls are some of the coolest dive sites, and are filled with sea creatures big and small.

Tucked into the coral and sponge plastered beauty of these vertical reefs are a host of underwater creatures that like to shelter in the nooks, crannies, ledges and small caves that punctuate the drop-off. Turn your attention away from the wall and look out in the blue, where there's the chance of seeing the unexpected — from sharks to large schools of fish. Snapper can often be found in open water.

The most amazing Melbourne wall dives are on the sides of the underwater canyon just inside The Heads entrance to Port Philip. You can view/download a number of charts and surveys of this area in the 'Port Phillip — The Heads' section of our Diving and Snorkelling Downloads page.

Safety Tip: We recommend you read our Boat Diving Safety and Using a Dive Float and Flag pages and use the described Cray/Drift Buoy Line Diver Freedom System when wall diving from a private boat.

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, e.g. GPS, Google Earth, or unknown.

If you don't understand the differences between the different ways coordinates are given, plus how different datum come into play, you might find the article GPS Conversions by Lloyd Borrett a useful read. It describes the problems associated with locating dive sites using a GPS receiver.
