Scuba Diving Adventure Tours in South Australia
We have teamed up with our friends at Diving Adelaide to ensure that you are spoilt with the best diving diving tour in South Australia. Together with Diving Adelaide we offer you a perfect combination of diving in the clear waters of the Southern Ocean and a relaxed journey through some of Australia’s most famous wine regions and national parks. Our diving tours are carefully crafted to showcase our favourite dive spots, while also allowing plenty of time for short excursions. With us you get a comprehensive and diverse diving holiday while the non divers in your group are not forgotten.
Our dive spots are chosen to give you a broad range of diving experiences. Dive off jetties, boats, beaches, explore rock formations, the remains of ship wrecks and pristine reefs. Hopefully spot some world famous Leafy Seadragons, seahorses, pipefish, cuttlefish, pyjama squid, blue ringed octopus, frog fish, angler fish, sting rays, bull rays, Port Jackson sharks and even the occasional seal or dolphin. In winter whale watch for Southern Right and Humpback whales. Our above ground excursions focus on taking you to unique less travelled destinations. Visit the boutique winery, craft brewery, or vineyard restaurant with a great view that we go to with our friends. We avoid the crowds and mainstream where ever we can.

We will take another dive to hunt for abalone and sea scollops which we can collect and cook for dinner (subject to regulations). There is also an opportunity to have a night dive if you are keen.
Diving the Yorke also gives us great opportunities to stay at some great accommodation where you will feel like you are the only person around. There is are plenty of opportunities to eat local seafood, relax at micro breweries (the Yorke is the centre for quality beer barley in Australia) and chill at a distillery that produces gin, vodka and whiskey from the paddocks next to the distillery. Sample the local drinks while looking out at a view as big as the horizon.
In there winter months we will head to the Upper Spencer Gulf to watch the incredible migration and mating of giant squid. Outside of the migration season we will spend a couple of nights in the picturesque Clare Valley sampling the fine wines and foods.
