Description
Located only 25 metres from the shore, the dive and snorkel trail begin at the Omeo shipwreck and includes:
- Underwater access to the Omeo shipwreck
- Underwater art gallery
- Artificial reef.
The underwater trail begins in shallow water while its westernmost extent reaches a maximum depth of 7 metres. Most of the trail is around 2.5 to 5 metres deep, making it suitable for snorkelers and novice divers.
The artificial reef and underwater art sculptures around the shipwreck create a linear dive trail and habitat for aquatic life. Underwater educational plaques give information about the Omeo shipwreck, maritime history and aquatic life in the area.
