Horseshoe Reef, off the coast of South Australia, offers a solid dive for those in the region. The reef itself is a pretty classic coral structure, with plenty of nooks and crannies to explore. We’ve seen various reef fish darting between the corals here, along with the occasional larger pelagic cruising by. It’s a good choice if you’re looking for a reliable, easygoing dive without any major surprises.
