Rip Bank, Port Phillip Bay.
Rip Bank is a wall dive just outside the port phillip bay heads, the
location of some recent dredging by the port of melbourne. The areas which
are dredged are totally barren rock now, but the areas which weren't are
covered in great sponges and other filter feeders. The area is prone to
strong currents and when the swell is up a surge makes diving uncomfortable
even at >25 meters deep if your not under a big ledge which are site
has lots to shelter under. Top of the wall is around 20 meters and the
bottom is 40 - 50 meters depending on the section your on.
