Rye pier offers beautiful underwater vistas for all levels of snorkelers & divers. Those less confident to snorkel can walk to waist depth and still experience the underwater world. (There is a dive shop nearby for scuba hire). Under the pier keep your eyes on the pilons for seahorses, octopus, crabs, bottom feeding stingrays, soft coral & sponges & various fish. Follow a trail of photographs, (the Octopuses Garden - Victoria's first Underwater Marine Trail) attached to the pilons showing you some of the creatures that call piers home. There is also a small Ship Wreck just to the right half way down the pier with some nice fish life around it. Your digital underwater camera will get some great shots. Ideal for both adults and children. Night diving and fishing from the pier is also popular.
