The Georgetown monument, ‘Patterson Monument’, is at the top end of Georgetown, and opposite the river to Garden Island in the north.

A deep river channel leading out to Bass Strait, the area is prone to fast flowing currents and is the thoroughfare for many large ships. We will dive on ‘slack tide’ which is at the peak of high tide to mitigate this risk and however this dive will be suitable for all skill levels.

Despite that it hosts beautiful sponge gardens, reefs and blue water.

Meeting at shed at 1500, high tide is at 1645

Please bring money for carpooling.
