Osmanli Reef
Protected Area
Southern Kangaroo Island
Why dive here
With 93+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue whales, dolphins, dwarf minke whales, great white sharks and hammerhead sharks - Osmanli Reef offers some of South Australia's richest reef diving. Water ranges 14-21°C, warmest January, February, March.
Osmanli Reef offers a solid dive for those exploring South Australia's cooler waters. We've found good hard coral formations here, contrasting nicely with the temperate macro life. It’s a good spot for divers keen on observing temperate reef species in a relaxed setting, often with fewer crowds than some of the more southerly sites. We'd suggest it for experienced divers comfortable with variable conditions.
