Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Treat Lake Bullen Merri as a careful shore dive. The entry is straightforward enough for an experienced diver, but the lake goes deep quickly and a light helps in the green water.
Freediving
Only for experienced freedivers in calm, clear weather; the site is cold, deep, and more demanding than a casual freedive spot.
