| Toms Reef is just outside of the Port Phillip Heads on the Point Nepean side and is a popular dive site for catching Crayfish. It lies in an area of scattered reef offshore from the back beaches of the Mornington Peninsula in Bass Strait with depths ranging from 12 to 30 metres. The sea life in this is area is prolific with Crayfish, Blue Devils, Weedy Seadragons, Seals, 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. This is a fantastic dive site for an avid fish photographer. Location GPS coordinates from Tom Wende and GPS verified. |
