Just looked up Mt Wellington looks absolutely stunning. Hobart's Mt Wellington: city sentinel
Hope the underwater landscape looks as good. |
The areas I dive are fairly speccy, mainly down the Tasman Peninsula, diving under Sandstone or Dolerite cliffs, so lots of huge fallen blocks, caves, very steep slopes and walls. Vis averages at around 20m, 30m+ at this time of year (no phytoplankton). Up on the East Coast at Bicheno, it's all granite, huge boulder falls down to 30-40m, big swim throughs etc. Past 30m, we get a lot of sponges here, very luxuriant, with sponge gardens which represent coral reefs in many respects.
There are a few pics, including video (bit scratchy) on here.

Not many diveable wrecks though and very few in intact condition at normal dive depths. (perhaps a dozen.)
