Port Noarlunga Reef
Visibility is quite variable, so pick your tide and weather conditions for the best experience. You'll be greeted by drummer, old wives and sweep when you first drop in, they are residents around the last pilons on the jetty. Check the ocean floor for wobbegongs and rays, look for brilliant seastars and ascidians on the reef walls and above all, have fun! This suburban dive site presents easy parking, and a walk of a few hundred metres out along the jetty. From there, you climb down a staircase, and gently drop into the sea. The jetty has a 'no take' zone at the end of it, so you don't have to worry about getting tangled in recreational fishermen's lines. The jetty abutts the reef, which runs perpendicular to it, and can be explored in either direction. This site is in the Onkaparinga Estuary Aquatic Reserve.
