La Bella Wreck

Lies in about 15 metres of water just of the Warrnambool breakwater. On November 10, 1905 this cargo ship hit a reef while entering Warrnambool harbour and sank. She lost 7 of her 12 crew and divers did not find the wreck site until 1982. The wreck is in relatively good condition but does not contain a lot of artefacts.

Penguin & Middle Islands

Within walking distance of the breakwater, the islands have very rugged terrain with some magnificent sea caves. Many stingrays, harmless sharks, moray eels and other sea life can be found in this area. Many divers believe this to be one of the best, most accessible shore dives they have done.
