Half Moon Bay

★★★★☆ (95)

A classic Black Rock shore dive combining jetty structure, low rocky reef, sand and seagrass in a sheltered bay. The historic HMVS Cerberus sits offshore as an unmistakable backdrop to a varied, shallow dive close to Melbourne.

Look for leatherjackets, wrasse, seahorses, nudibranchs, anemones, sea urchins and octopus around the reef, seagrass and jetty; ideal for scuba, snorkelling and photography.
