Protection
Distinguish the dive name from park boundaries
Parks Victoria includes this dive in its marine park guide. That supports the protected-area context, but does not prove that every place called Paradise Wall lies inside one boundary. Marine national park prohibitions apply within the designated area; use official boundary information for access planning.

Planning
Before arranging a wall dive
Review current marine notices and the relevant park or heritage rules before arranging a trip. Confirm the site and access arrangements with the skipper or dive provider. Published depth describes a feature; it does not establish suitability for a particular diver or the conditions on the day.
