This dive site is located on the northern side of Warrnambool Breakwater. The breakwater offers protection from the southern swells of the Southern Ocean and Southerly winds, creating a relatively sheltered diving environment. A prominent feature is a concrete structure providing habitat for kelp, which in turn supports a variety of marine life. This area provides an interesting dive experience.
