About Portsea Hole

Portsea Hole is about 500metres west of the Portsea Pier. The top of the hole is 12metres and to the north there is a vertical wall approximately 75metres long, which drops to a sandy patch at 27metres, then on into a sand bowl, which bottoms at 33metres. The wall comprises of small overhangs, which are home to a vast array of invertebrate life and fish, in particular the beautiful Blue Devil fish. Surrounding the top edge are many bommies, which play host to hundreds of fish and invertebrates. As you descend down the hole, many small overhangs and hidden crevices open up to reveal new hiding places and homes for many fish species.
