Portarlington Peir

Suggested dive on a high tide, I would walk down the peir until you get to the lowerlanding on the right hand side and do a wide stride entry. Descend to the bottom about 3m and proceed under the landing and peir to the outside wall of the peir. Head along the wall you will find cuttle fish and various fish life proceed up to near the end of the wall where you may encounter leafy sea dragons. When the wall ends and turns to the right I would suggest that you do a surface swim back towards the main part of the peir and continue along it until it is shallow enough to walk out. Beware of boat traffic in this last section. You will see the boats moored as you enter the water at the start of the dive off the lower platform. This site is easily found as it can be seen from either entry to Portarlington. There is ample parking and shower/toilet facilities in the car park to the right of the peir. Portarlington Peir is also known as Port peir.
