| Wilsons Promontory, Victoria is a peninsula that forms the southernmost part of the Australian mainland. Wilsons Promontory National Park, also known locally as "the Prom", contains the largest coastal wilderness area in Victoria. The only settlement within Wilsons Promontory is Tidal River which lies 30 km south of the park boundary and is the focus for tourism and recreation. This park is managed by Parks Victoria. A scuba diving trip to Wilsons Promontory needs to be carefully planned. You need to bring plenty of extra cylinders, or a compressor, because the nearest air filling station is about 100 kilometres from Tidal River. Boats can be launched from the western end of Norman Bay beach at Tidal River. However beach launching requires plenty of people to helpplus a lot of care and skill. The weather conditions need to be carefully considered, because while you may be able to launch okay, if the weather turns nasty and the surf gets up when the conditions change rapidly, retrieving the boat can become impossible. It's important to remember that when diving at Wilsons Promontory, especially from a boat, you are in an isolated area with areas of deep water and strong currents.
