Underwater - snorkel or dive

The ships' graveyard sites along the metropolitan Adelaide coast contain vessels which have been purposely sunk to become artificial reefs and are easily accessible to divers.

The recently sunk Hobart at Yankalilla is a world-class dive site. Access to this shipwreck is restricted and requires a permit or diving with an accredited charter operator.

The Eleni K at Goat Island and the Hougomont in Stenhouse Bay also offer spectacular dives, while the Ardrossan Barge and the Bronzewing near Port Lincoln are more widely recognised as fishing hot-spots, but also provide opportunities for divers. The tug Leeton is a well-known dive location near Whyalla, but can only be dived on a dodge tide.

In the North Arm of the Port River, the Santiago and Dorothy H Sterling (part of the Garden Island Ships' Graveyard) offer limited dive and snorkel opportunities, while the lighter York at Port Flinders is an excellent snorkelling experience at high tide.

Local dive shops or clubs will readily provide information about accessing most sites, including local conditions and other information essential for a safe and rewarding dive.
