The Nobbies is a reef site located 1500 metres offshore in the Bass Strait. Divers experience depths ranging from 10 to 20 metres, with an average depth of 15 metres. This site is exposed to the open ocean, resulting in moderate currents, surge, and variable visibility between 8 and 15 metres. Due to these conditions, the site is suited for intermediate divers comfortable with boat entries and potentially challenging water movement. Water temperatures fluctuate between 13C and 19C, necessitating a thick wetsuit or drysuit year-round. Dives should be carefully planned around slack water to manage tidal currents and swell.

The White Gates is a shore-accessible reef and canyon system located in Flinders, Australia. The site features a canyon structure and surrounding reef with depths ranging from 8 to 12 metres, averaging 10 metres. Access is strictly limited to days with dead flat swell conditions due to surf and potential rip currents. Divers should be prepared for moderate currents and variable visibility. The southern coastline features soft rock cliffs prone to collapse, requiring caution. This site is suited for intermediate divers who possess solid buoyancy control and situational awareness. Facilities are limited, and local conditions should be confirmed prior to arrival.
