Why dive here
With 93+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue whales, dolphins, dwarf minke whales, great white sharks and hammerhead sharks - Port Noarlunga Reef offers some of South Australia's richest reef diving. Water ranges 14-21°C, warmest January, February, March.
Port Noarlunga Reef, easily accessible from the Adelaide coastline, is a favourite for shore divers. You'll find a limestone reef dropping to about ten metres, often with excellent visibility on a calm day. We've seen plenty of schooling fish, cuttlefish, and nudibranchs here, making it a solid choice for macro photographers and those looking for an easy, rewarding dive close to the city. It’s a great spot for a relaxed afternoon.
