Lonsdale Wall – Paradise Wall (Marine National Park)
Port Phillip Heads Marine National Park (highly protected no-take zone: no fishing, no collecting). Paradise Wall is the shallowest part of Lonsdale Wall, starting at 10–12 m, so it is a good entry-level wall for less advanced divers, with many overhangs at shallow depth that carry a rich community of invertebrates and fish. Below the shallow section the wall drops away steeply into the depths. It is a boat dive in tidal water; Scubabo lists 10–30 m.
