    StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

    The Port Bonython Fenceline offers an interesting shore dive for those exploring South Australia's cooler waters. Expect to find a good collection of macro life amongst the pylons, with nudibranchs and small crustaceans often popping up. It's an easy access site, making it a good choice for divers who appreciate a slower pace and enjoy hunting for smaller creatures. We'd suggest it for divers looking for something a bit different than a typical reef.
