About Boarfish Reef

Boarfish Reef lies approximately halfway between Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale, on Victoria's rugged coastline and starts in approximately 10metres of water dropping off to 22metres, involving a system of caves, drop-offs and overhangs. The reef provides a multitude of colour, plant and animal life. There are spectacular Blue Devil, Crayfish and of course Boarfish, hence the name of the reef. Near the Southern end of the reef, lies a large 4metre Admiralty anchor encrusted with marine growth. On the northern tip of the reef a large sponge garden extends for approx 400metres.
