| The Deep Pinnacles (aka Pinnacles Deep) dive site lies just outside Port Phillip Heads on the Point Lonsdale side, in Bass Strait, Victoria. It's an area of scattered reef and rock bommies rising out of the sandy sea bed. Running on the same reef line as Lonsdale Arches, these tall rock formations are covered with yellow zoanthids and awesome colour. The sea life in this is area is prolific with Crayfish, Blue Devils, Abalone, and much more. The soft calcium that comprises most of the terrain in this area has eroded into lots of little swim throughs valleys and overhangs, all topped off with a light scattering of kelp. Bass Strait Warning: Always keep an eye on sea conditions throughout any shore or boat dive in Bass Strait on Victoria's coastline. Please read the warnings on the web page diving-in-bass-strait before diving or snorkelling this site. Depth: 16 to 25 m. Dive only on: SWF, SWE, Ebb, Flood. Location is GPS verified. |
