Diving Rip Bank 16-Apr-2016
I'm always impressed with the diving here down in Melbourne. The Rip Bank is just outside the heads and is dived during the slack water between a flood and Ebb tide. The wall descends down to 80-100m but we stayed at 30m. It's amazing being under the undercuts and seeing how much colour and life there is. Never a boring dive in the Rip.
