About South Beach Pea Soup

There are several good dive sites located in and around Port Fairy, each with spectacular underwater views. You can dive the Lighthouse Reef, Mills Reef, the 'Thistle' wreck site or our fabulous South Beach/Pea Soup Bay. South Beach/Pea Soup is a great dive site for beginners or for divers who have been inactive for a prolonged period of time; only 3-5 metres deep on average, and protected by an outer reef, it offers an abundance of kelp forests, several sea grass beds abundant with fish, the occasional Eagle ray or Australian fur seal and not forgetting the unique bottle & ball cemetery. Bottles dating back to as early as 1912 have been found here. Our 'Discover Scuba' program is ideal for school groups or people looking for something different to do this Summer and we run this program out of this protected Bay. We have gift vouchers available for all of our courses.
