Flinders Pier

Submitted by garywiz on Wed, 2006-07-26 08:23.

Flinders Pier was once an L-shaped pier approximately 150 metres long. The L is now gone though there are still remnants you might run into. We've dived it a few times, and the sea life is fantastic. Try to go at high tide, as it's only about 4m deep at the entry point and gets to about 6m toward the end of the pier.

This is a really great dive spot, and you're sure to see something interesting. I don't think I have ever been to the pier without seeing at least one Weedy Sea Dragon, and on one occasion there were literally a dozen or two to be seen during the dive.

Visibility is often good as well, so long as you avoid rainy or windy days.

Directions

When you get to Flinders, head toward the water. Once you pass the roundabout, the road curves to the right. When you come to a cross-road, a sign will indicate that the boat ramp is to your left. Drive down and park in the parking lot. There is usually plenty of parking. Stay away from the boat area.
