South Australia is a place where marine adventure meets raw geology. Divers descend into ancient sinkholes with visibility that stretches for tens of meters, while offshore, cage diving puts them eye to eye with great white sharks. The Eyre Peninsula's kelp forests are home to playful sea lions and giant cuttlefish that gather in dazzling numbers each year. Above the water, limestone cliffs and remote bays frame one of the most untamed coastlines in the country.
The South Australian government agency charged with protecting the state's biodiversity. They manage marine parks, coastal reserves, and endangered species programs, ensuring the long-term conservation of South Australia's natural heritage both on land and in the sea.
On the Limestone Coast, Mt. Gambier is famous for its sapphire-blue lakes and sinkholes that lead into vast flooded cave systems. Divers come from around the world to explore these underwater labyrinths, where crystal-clear water reveals stalactites, caverns, and ancient limestone walls. It’s one of the few places where freshwater and geological wonder combine so completely.
The Neptune Islands are Australia’s great white shark capital. Here, cage diving offers one of the world’s most electrifying wildlife encounters, with 3-5 meter long sharks drawn by the huge colonies of South Australian sea lions that crowd the shores. Dolphins, seabirds, and seasonal whales add to the spectacle, making the islands a raw and unforgettable stage for major marine predators.
