About Sanctum reef

This is a rugged wall dive in the very middle of the main shipping channel inside Port Phillip Bay. Diving is only possible at Sanctum Reef on slack water at the end of the Ebb or outgoing tide, and even then only if no shipping is due through the heads for the next three hours. The top of the wall is 24 metres, and the wall itself runs east-west at this point then drops off to the south where it goes down to a depth of 60 metres. Check shipping timetables before proceeding on this dive.
