About Nepean Bay

Sheltered just to the north of Point Nepean inside Port Phillip Bay is a smaller bay known as Nepean Bay. This is a lovely dive site with scattered reefs, lots of fish and scattered wreck debris. The rocks at Point Nepean have brought many ships to grief over the years and the scattered wreckage lies in this bay. Sometimes covered in sand and at other times exposed for exploration. The area is also a state marine park and as such the fish life is slowly rebuilding to the size it was before commercial and recreational fishing decimated it. Lovely shallow clear water fills this bay and it is sheltered from all winds except northerlies making this a fantastic dive site. Great spot to finish off a full day's diving. This dive site is located in a marine park so NO fishing or bagging.
