Scuba Dive - The Playground 15-50m (Queenscliff)

The dive site

The Playground, also known as The Maze, presents an incredible opportunity to observe crayfish. It is situated within the shipping channel just outside Port Phillip Heads on Rip Bank, making it an ideal dive spot for experienced divers. Rip Bank itself forms a wall that stretches from east to west, with deeper waters to the north. Consequently, it is recommended to embark on this dive during the incoming or flood tide. This underwater adventure commences at a depth of 15 meters, starting at the crest of the wall. As you venture over the drop-off, the depth gradually descends to around 50 meters. The underwater terrain undergoes intriguing changes as you descend, showcasing small caves and overhangs adorned with a thriving fish population. This dive location is often celebrated as one of the most visually stunning experiences in the Port Phillip region.
