Ile des Phoques is an exposed rock between Maria and Schouten Islands, about 10 nautical miles east of Little Swanport. Considered one of Tasmania’s most exciting dives, Isle de Phoque is home to a large seal colony and is riddled with caves. The caves are covered with zoanthids and are usually occupied by schools of fish. Most of the caves start at 20 meters and several have light entering through the roof.
Numbers are limited so get in quick!
Due to the exposed location this will be run as an advanced dive
Bring lunch and supplies, as we will be completing two dives on the Isle!
This dive is very weather dependent – if the weather isn’t favorable we’ll switch to a more protected site. We will get wet that day!
Meeting at Olinda Grove Mt. Nelson Dive shed at 6.00am we’ll head to Triabunna to launch. Please note earlier meeting time due to long drive and boat drive
Anyone unwell must not attending club events.
Club dive gear to be washed with approve solution at the end of dive.
Hand sanitiser will be available at the dive.
Please maintain social distancing of 1.5m wherever possible during the event.
