Devil's Drop Off (aka Devil's Dropoff) is one of the most popular dive sites on Lonsdale Wall. This site begins with a huge drop-off from 12 to 30 metres and continues with a series of ledges, overhangs and swim throughs. If you are certified to go deeper, you can explore further as the site gently slopes to 55 metres plus.

The dive site is named Devil's Drop Off after the Southern Blue Devil fish which can be spotted all along the wall here. Their placid nature and vibrant blue colour also make them great for photography. Devil's Drop Off is also a good spot to see Longsnout Boarfish, Port Jackson Shark, Southern Fiddler Ray (aka Banjo Shark) and big rays so keep your eyes open. You will also come across many other species of marine life here as the site lies in the Port Phillip Heads Marine National Park.

At 27 metres there is a long overhang to follow covered in a large variety of soft corals and small fans. A spectacular dive site with something for everyone.

Dive charter boats regularly schedule dives at Devil's Dropoff, heading out from Portsea and Queenscliff. Private dive boats usually launch at the Sorrento Boat Ramp or the Queenscliff Boat Ramp.
