Hareby Island Reef in South Australia offers a solid temperate dive. Expect to see dense kelp forests swaying with the surge, along with resident snapper and various rockfish sheltering among the bommies. It’s a good spot for divers comfortable with temperate conditions, perhaps looking for something a bit different from tropical sites. We’d suggest a 5mm or 7mm suit, depending on the season.
