Bass & Flinder

The site is quite shallow at first, 4-5 metres, slowly descending to 7 metres as you head east. Kelp runs along the shoreline and after reaching its most southern point breaks into large sections of boulders that extend south. There's no point in heading south out on the sand, there's only sand, sand and more sand. As a drift dive, you shouldn't exceed 60 minutes to reach Oak Park.
