Gas: 2*21%

[Given the location of the George Kermode in Bass Strait, and the long run from launching at the Newhaven boat ramp or Flinders Pier, it usually requires a few days of strong northerly winds to flatten the swell out at the dive site. The George Kermode lies upside-down in 20 metres (66 feet) of water, coming up off the bottom to nearly 12 metres (39 feet) in some places. It's a relatively shallow dive compared to most of the other wrecks accessible outside of Port Phillip so you get plenty of time to explore.

There are plenty of fish as well as interesting bits of industrial hardware like the enormous cog gear wheels. The George Kermode wreck is broken up in the middle, with big dredge buckets lying out on the sand in several locations. With the bottom of the hull pointing towards the sky, there is plenty to enjoy as you swim through the boilers. There are lots of nooks and crannies to look in, and it can be tricky to work out which bit of the wreck is which. For those suitably qualified, the George Kermode offers some excellent penetration. Accessible points of interest include two massive boilers, the chain lockers, and a large section of the bow.

The reef around the wreck site can also be an interesting dive.] info from Scuba Doctor
