Rye pier is arguably one of the most interesting pier dives on the Mornington Peninsula. The local residents include three species of seahorse, many different species of octopus, amazing soft corals and sponges. There are hundreds of different species of marine creatures including angel sharks, blennies, goatfish, gurnards, flounder, flathead, nudibranchs and even the occasional Wollongong Bug. With all this life it is also a spectacular (and easy!) night dive destination.
