About this dive site

This dive site is located approximately three hours west of Adelaide, South Australia. It’s a shallow jetty dive, offering a remarkably diverse underwater experience. The area teems with marine life, making it ideal for photographers and those fascinated by the natural world. During daylight hours, you can encounter nudibranchs, frogfish, eels, dumpling squid, leafy sea dragons, and various seahorses.
