Why dive here
With 93+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue whales, dolphins, dwarf minke whales, great white sharks and hammerhead sharks - The Dredge offers some of South Australia's richest diving. Water ranges 14-21°C, warmest January, February, March.
The Dredge, off South Australia, offers a unique wreck dive. It’s a submerged dredge, now an artificial reef, attracting various temperate fish species. We’ve spotted old wives, wrasse, and even small schools of jackass morwong around the structure. This site suits divers looking for something a bit different from natural reefs, especially those keen on exploring historical machinery.
