Highly recommend safari destinations are:
The best spot to see the iconic leafy sea dragon is Rapid Bay. We can see them at Edithburgh as well, but they’re not as prolific at this jetty as they are at Rapid Bay. Edithburgh is a macro haven though and has lots of unique marine life, such as the blue ring octopuses, pyjama squids, seahorses and many different species of angler fish!
Iconic species: Pyjama Squid, Blue Ring Octopus, Sand Octopus, Smooth Angler Fish, Prickly Angler Fish, Tassled Angler Fish, Pistol Shrimp, Sea Horses, Pipefish, Nudibranchs plus you have the chance to see the Leafy Sea Dragon.
Inclusions: Private ensuite accommodation (we only run Edithburgh as an overnight trip, because of the distance), transport (250 km each way), a private guide, tanks & weights.
*We can include a night dive in the 2-day package or 2 night dives in the 3-day package. It’s also possible to do one of the dives at Port Hughes Jetty on the way back to Adelaide.
Ask for a group quote if you would like to book for more people.
Iconic species: Leafy Sea Dragon, Blue Devil Fish & Giant Australian Cuttlefish and Nudibranchs.

The most popular dive site in Australia as it’s easily accessible from the city, is great for training and is relatively shallow (although the gap in the reef gets to almost 20m!).
The inside of the reef is usually protected from big waves and there is great life underneath the jetty and on the reef! If you jump in from the stairs right at the end of the jetty, you’ll see an explosion of fish life (where the jetty meets the reef).Have a look under the loose rocks here as well to find blue ring octopus and pygmy cuttlefish!
The reef is home to seahorses, nudibranchs, pipefish, flatworms and other marine critters and towards the north there have been leafy sea dragons spotted (but it is a fairly long swim to get there).
If you love crystal clear waters, these sites are for you! They’re a 500km drive from Adelaide, so always an overnight trip, but they’re worth the effort.
The 14-16 degree waters (year round) are crystal clear and can have visibility up to 100m! The Ewens Ponds have some life in them (freshwater fish, eels and crays) and there is a freshwater turtle in Kilsby’s Sinkhole.
Both sites are easy to navigate and the maximum depth of the ponds is just over 10m, where Kilsby’s Sinkhole is 30m deep (or you can go deeper if you’re cavern certified).
*Bookings are required for both sites.
Another dive site that’s a bit of drive from Adelaide is the Whyalla Cuttlefish Migration dive site.
It’s more an area than a dive site really, as you can jump in at The Fenceline (the most popular cuttlefish spot), Black Point, Stony Point or anywhere along the shore line really to see the thousands of cuttlefish in their yearly mating ritual!
The waters are chilly (around 13 degrees usually), but it’s a spectacular sight and great photo opportunity as these giants don’t care about us humans as they’re just too busy impressing their mates!
*The cuttlefish main mating season is in June & July.
If you thought The Bluff was weather dependent, then this site gets even better!
You can see why the Star of Greece wrecked at Port Willunga, as the site is completely exposed, so you need a perfect day (or preferably a few perfect days in a row) to explore the historical shipwreck of the Star of Greece!
The beach is stunning, so it’s never a wasted drive, but if you can get in and the visibility is good, this is a spectacular dive (it’s a 3 masted iron ship that has been down there for over 125 years!). There is quite a big reef next to it as well, but there isn’t as much life on it as there is on comparable reefs.
The site is in just a couple of metres of water and you can see one of the masts sticking out at low tide, so it’s easy to find around that time!
See some of the highlights that South Australian scuba diving has to offer in this video by our favourite underwater videographer: Dustin Adamson!
Dustin did a South Australian dive safari with us and dived at Whyalla, The Bluff in Victor Harbor, Rapid Bay and of course at the state’s macro haven: Edithburgh Jetty!
