Broken Bottom offers a relaxed dive in South Australia, ideal for newer divers or those looking for an easy day. We found plenty of temperate reef species, from colourful nudibranchs to small schools of banjo rays. It’s a good spot to practice buoyancy and enjoy a quiet exploration without strong currents or deep profiles. A solid choice for a second dive of the day.
