Rip Bank
★★★★☆
(39)
Rip Bank is an impressive underwater cliff just outside the south-east side of Port Phillip Heads. This site should only be dived at slack water at the end of the flood tide, and only in calm conditions, as the current travels along the wall and can become extremely fast.
Southern Rock Lobsters are common along the steep wall with overhangs and Blue Devils. Divers often see harmless Sharpnose Sevengill Sharks cruising 10–15m off the wall
