| Portsea Pier East Reef, lies between Portsea Pier (to the west) and Point Franklin (to the east) in the waters of Weeroona Bay, Port Phillip on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria. It's a reef system that stretches out under the boat moorings. See also, Point Franklin Reef and Drift in "Shore Dives of Victoria" by Ian Lewis, 3rd edition pages 106–107. Location: Point Nepean Road, Portsea, Victoria 3944 MELWAY Ref: Page 156 F2 Parking: Free parking after 6 pm at Portsea Pier around 50 metres from the pier with good street lights over your car. During the day and summer, the car parks are hard to get with most being 1 to 2 hour limited. Safety First: Always go with a buddy and be extremely careful. Be mindful of the boat traffic here as it can often be quite hectic, particularly in summer. Never swim in the inside area of the pier for this reason. Always tow a buoy with dive flag. Entry/Exit: The best entry is from the shore, or from the landing about halfway out on Portsea Pier. Location GPS coordinates from Google Earth. Approximate location only. |
