About Barwon Heads Bluff
A charming dive in calm seas can be fun if there's a bit of a swell too. The Earl of Charlemont wreck here hides for 800 days at a time and then reveals itself. There are plenty of little caves and holes to search for her remains in. The kelp garden in the dive is known to rival of the more breathtaking in the world.

  • Distraction from Marine Activity — High fish activity can distract divers and delay depth or gas awareness.

  • Rapid Surge Direction Changes — Surge near reef structures can reverse direction quickly, pushing divers sideways into unexpected areas.

  • Bubble Trapping Under Overhangs — Rock overhangs can trap exhaled bubbles, reducing visibility and causing disorientation.
