Planning a diving holiday in Adelaide and South Australia
Rapid Bay is located on the west side of the Fleurieu Peninsula south of Adelaide. At the new jetty, you enter the water via stairs and a platform, and leafy seadragons, South Australia’s marine emblem, live under the jetties. The old jetty is surrounded by a no-diving zone. The wreck of the HMAS Hobart lies in Yankalilla Bay, which you can reach by boat from Wirrina Cove. Boats to the great white sharks at the Neptune Islands depart from Port Lincoln on the Eyre Peninsula, where diving takes place from a cage.
This booklet helps you plan your week. Sample itineraries combine dive sites into days, each with a Plan B in case the wind changes. The last day before your return flight is kept dive-free, and there are suggestions for that too. The travel season section lists water and air temperatures, wind, visibility, crowds, and special features for each month, so you can set your dates before booking your flight and accommodation.
You will receive an A5-format PDF that you can read on your phone or tablet while on the go and print as a booklet at home.
