Scuba Diving in Grange Tyre Reef, Adelaide, South Australia Australia

Maximum depth:
15 m/49 ft
Adelaide, the liveliest city in Australia, is the capital of South Australia state. The city is situated on the Adelaide Plains and more specifically at the north side of Fleurieu Peninsula. The city is built next to Torrens River and is surrounded by the Mount Lofty Ranges and the Gulf St Vincent.

The metropolitan area of Adelaide is famous for the variety and great number of diving sites it has to offer (you can visit here some of the most impressive shipwrecks in the whole world). The waters have the perfect temperature for scuba diving (warm during the summer and crystal clear during the winter), and are generally friendly and uncrowded.

The Grange Tyre Reef, a popular site for divers of all levels, is an artificial reef made up entirely of old tyres,  laid there since the 1970’s. Marine life in the site is extraordinary. You will see from cuttlefish, old wives and strongies, to Blue Devils and occasionally some wobbegong sharks.

Average viz: 10 m/32 ft. Maximum depth: 15 m/49 ft.
