St Leonards Pier
★★★★☆
(1,751)
St Leonards Pier (aka St Leonards Jetty and Breakwater) is rated as the best pier dive on the Bellarine Peninsula. With plenty of colour and growth on the pylons, this dive site is well worth a visit day or night either diving or snorkelling. Great site for macro photography.
You will find plenty of colourful sponge growth on the pylons. The sponges along with the variety of kelp and other underwater growth make this a colourful dive. Octopus can be found as well.
