About Scallop Drift

Like Scallops? Looking for a feed? Love the thrill of the chase? Want a challenge? The Scallop Drift dive site is a much slower drift dive than some of the other local drift dives, so you can relax a little and watch what is happening around you. The scallop beds move around a little and there is no guarantee you will see them straight away but rest assured, be patient and you will see them. The dive site itself is further up the bay near Rye. The bottom is flat and sandy with scallops, stingrays, flathead and large spider crabs. You must have a current Victorian fishing license to be able to bag scallops in Port Phillip waters. It is an offence to take any type of seafood/fish without a current fishing licence in Victoria and penalties apply. Refer to local by-laws or fisheries and wildlife for more information.
