Scuba Dive | Lonsdale Arches 12-20m & Paradise Wall 10-30m Double Dive (Sorrento)

Discovered and named by one of the great local diving identities this dive site is spectacular.

Approximately 1 kilometre from the Point Lonsdale Light and clear of the shipping channel, just outside Port Phillip Heads is an amazing area of Bommies or underwater rock formations. The strong current flow in this area has created a nutrient rich environment and subsequently prolific marine growth and the associated marine life. But it is the amazing rock formations that make this dive site special. This site has a couple of amazing swim throughs that are very safe easy to enter.    Paradise Wall is located on the Lonsdale side of Port Phillip Heads and is a great dive site on Lonsdale Wall. It's the shallowest part of the wall with the drop-off starting in 10 or 12 metres of water. This makes the site a great beginning site for the less advanced diver as there are numerous overhangs to explore at relatively shallow depths. Each overhang supports a plethora of marine life for the diver to observe. While Paradise Wall starts with a couple of steps at shallow depths, it then drops away steeply into the depths. It's a magnificent spot with some fantastic caves down deeper.

This has to be one of the best spots on the wall. An absolutely top-notch dive on territory no deeper than 30 metres. The fish life is always very good with large numbers of Southern Blue Devil about.
