\u00a0<\/span>for more information about what you’ll be able to find in our waters!<\/span><\/p>\nBesides life on the reefs, there’s a whole lot more to look at while you’re down here. With over 800 ship wrecks, South Australia is a great wreck diving location as well! The shipwrecks lie in varying conditions and depths and have a variety of entry points, some more challenging than others. They often form mini-habitats\u00a0and harbour many different species of colourful marine life and show rare evidence of historic technology and life aboard the ship. If you’re interested in wreck diving, you can take a look at our calendar\u00a0to see when we’ll be diving your favourite wrecks. If it’s not on our calendar at the moment, give us a ring at the shop and we’ll create an opportunity to dive it for you!<\/span><\/p>\nAnother typical South\u00a0![\"Leafy](\"https:\/\/thediveshack.com.au\/cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2016\/05\/The-Dive-Shack-Leafy-Sea-Dragon-2-leafy-300x225.jpg\")
Australian way of diving, is jetty diving. South Australia’s many jetties make a haven for underwater flora and fauna. The pylons, covered with a spectacular array of invertebrates, diverse in colour and shape, provide a further treat. The Dive Shack’s house reef, the Port Noarlunga reef, is one of the most popular jetty dives, because of the large reef that’s at the end of the jetty. The reef is an\u00a0aquatic reserve and\u00a0has over 180 species of\u00a0marine plants\u00a0and animals!\u00a0Other popular jetties include Rapid Bay, Wallaroo, Port Hughes and Edithburgh.<\/p>\n

Please Note:<\/h5>\n\n- The Dive Shack’s house reef, Port Noarlunga reef, is an aquatic reserve. Please remember that in South Australia, the collection of organisms is prohibited from all intertidal reefs to a depth of two meters and from within aquatic reserves.<\/li>\n
- Diving conditions in South Australia can change with varying weather, tides and other environmental factors. Local knowledge is essential for most diving, so when diving a new location please check with The Dive Shack\u00a0or contact the Diving Industry Association of South Australia Inc. for information on site conditions, safety regulations, license and diver rating requirements.<\/li>\n
- Divers should note that diving on shipwrecks requires careful planning and an appropriate level of experience and training. Some diving locations require permits (such as the the ex-HMAS Hobart\u00a0and the Zanoni) and all wrecks\u00a0are protected by legislation.\u00a0When taking one of the shipwreck trails feel free to dive, photograph and explore the wrecks.\u00a0 Do not interfere with them by disturbing or removing anything or anchoring on top of their remains.<\/li>\n
- The Seadragon, a protected species, is both fragile and spectacular in appearance. To assist divers to observe Seadragons a code of conduct called Diving with Dragons has\u00a0been developed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\r\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\r\n\t<\/div>\r\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
