I have only ever fished Flinders from a boat and kayak, never dived it. The area can be prone to poor viz, however if you get a clear day there are some good looking reefy areas to the far right of the pier (past the lifesaving/yacht club). Last time I fished off Shoreham (just down the coast from Flinders) we caught huge numbers of leatherjackets - so I would be keeping an eye out for them. This whole area is also renowned for some very big (40-50cm) whiting. A few trips ago we saw an inflatable boat return from the point with two SCUBA divers, who had some crayfish and abalone.
