Leather Jacket Alley in South Australia is a reliable spot for encountering its namesake fish. We often find large aggregations of leatherjackets here, weaving through the kelp and rocky outcrops. It’s a pretty calm dive, good for photographers keen to get some close-up shots of these interesting characters. Visibility can be a bit variable, but it’s a solid local dive.
