The Scuba Doctor uses these resources to plan our dives near Melbourne:
If boat diving you should be aware of the advice and guidance in the Harbour Master's Directions and Port Information Guide so as to be able to plan dives in accordance with the regulations and practices that govern vessel operations within the port waters of the Port of Melbourne.
Melbourne is a world class temperate water scuba diving destination. Water temperatures typically peak in the range 16°C to 20°C (61°F to 68°F) on around the middle of February. They are at their coldest on about the middle of August, in the range 10°C to 14°C (50°F to 57°F). Most local divers use a 7 mm full-length wetsuit in summer, adding a hood and gloves plus extra layers of warmth underneath their wetsuit in winter. Some local divers switch to using a drysuit in winter. While the water is colder in winter, the visibility is typically better, which is why so many people dive in Victoria all year round.
If the dive site conditions cause any doubt, use your best judgement and avoid diving in areas that are suspect. You can always come back another day.
