About 18metre Reef

Just outside Port Phillip Heads on the Point Lonsdale side is an area of scattered reefs ranging in depths from 12 to 18 metres. The sea life is prolific in this area. Amongst it you will observe Crayfish, Blue Devils, Weedy Sea Dragons, Australian Fur Seals, Abalone and much more. The soft calcium deposits that comprise most of the terrain in this area have eroded over time creating lots of little swim throughs, valleys and overhangs all topped off with a light scattering of large kelp.
