The main deck is at about 15-18 metres and safety stops can be done on the wreck itself with a substantial amount of superstructure in about 5-7 metres. It is important to dive this wreck on the slack tides (or a dodge) since the currents are very strong and divers can be washed off the wreck. This is a fabulous dive and you'll want to do it again.

Site Name: MV Seawolf
Depth: 19 metres
Rating: Novice

Sunk on the 23rd March 2002 as part of the Noarlunga Artificial REef Project, the Seawolf is 32 metres long. It is located approximately 15-20 metres astern and slightly starboard of the HA Lumb, and lies on its starboard side with the bow inside the Noarlunga Tyre Reef.

There is quite a bit of growth on the wreck and some penetration holes with ambient light through the hull. The wreck can be dived on most tides and has some good photographic opportunities.

Site Name: HA Lumb
Depth: 19 metres
Rating: Novice

Sunk in 1994 specifically as a dive site. She lies almost upright on the bottom about 2.5 km west of Port Noarlunga Jetty. Penetration is relatively easy and safe and photo opportunities abound.

This dive can be done with the MV Seawolf since they are relatively close to each other - a line of start droppers serve as guide between the two - and recommended dive time is about 35 - 40 minutes.

Site Name: Stanvac Barges
Depth: 28 metres
Rating: Advanced

Approximately 5 km west of the old Port Stanvac Oil Refinery (soon to be a desalination plant), there are 3 barges at the site, one measuring 50m x 10m and the two others measure 24m x 16m. This is an advanced dive and bottom time is restricted with the barges forming an artificial reef on an otherwise sandy bottom. There are always plenty of fish and lots of growth.

Site Name: Stanvac Moorings
Depth: 25 metres
Rating: Advanced

Located approximately 2kms west of the old Port Stanvac Jetty, this site is the location of the old mooring buoy for the tankers. Although it is a relatively small site the fish life and marine creatures make up for it. You can dive around the buoy structure or follow the pipeline. There are also chains and blocks that make for interesting diversions. A site well worth the effort to get to.

Site Name: Stanvac Dump
Depth: 14 metres
Rating: Novice

The site lies just north of the Port Stanvac Jetty, outside of the exclusion zone. There are three main structures at the site, all of which attract large numbers of fish. One in particular is home to a very large school of Old Wives. There a numerous pipes and coils of cable, old tyres and the remains of a truck.

The site is an excellent night dive and can also be used for navigation specialty dives with great effect. Apart from the debris there is also a chance of seeing the odd Wobbegong lying in a pipe and recently there have been sightings of Leafy Seadragons.

Site Name: The South Australian (The Dredge)
Depth: 20 metres
Rating: Novice to deck, Advanced to sand

Located at Glenelg, 10 km south of Adelaide, the wreck is an old suction dredge used to dredge the Port River and Outer Harbour. The wreck was sunk in its current location in 1985 and she lies upright in 20 metres of water bow to the south, 5-6 km west of Glenelg.

She is 35 metres long by 7 metres wide, deck sitting in 15 metres. The dredge is home to a wide variety of marine life with an abundance of Bullseyes. It is safe to penetrate into the main hold and cabins but there is quite a bit of silt.

Site Name: Aldinga Drop-off
Depth: 21 metres
Rating: Novice

The Aldinga Drop-off is the edge of the Aldinga reef lying 1.5 km off the Aldinga Beach 45 km south of Adelaide. The reef drops away to 21 metres creating a spectacular dive with a lot of overhangs hiding soft corals and many fish.

The drop-off is home to a wide variety of other marine creatures including many species of nudibranch, Blue Devils, Silver Drummer and Leather Jacket.

Site Name: Aldinga Pinnacles
Depth: 8 metres
Rating: Novice

The Pinnacles are part of the Aldinga Reef system closer in shore from the drop-off. This is a spectacular dive with lots of swim-through, overhangs, fish life and weed growth. The dive is relatively shallow so extended time can be spent exploring the site.

The visibility here is usually very good and swimming amongst the rock pinnacles extending from the sea floor is very different to any other dive in South Australia. This is truly a fantastic dive.

Site Name: The Clarice
Depth: 22 metres
Rating: Novice

This wreck is located approximately 6.5 km west of Glenelg and comprises a small half cabin cruiser sitting upright on the sand with some scattered debris, which she was carrying, lying a small distance away to the northeast.

There is always an abundance of fish life here including a school of giant boarfish. A fairly small site but definitely worth the effort.

Site Name: Horseshoe Reef
Depth: 6 metres
Rating: Novice

The Horseshoe Reef is situated about 200 metres off shore at Christies Beach, 20 km south of Adelaide. This is a very easy dive and extended bottom time is the norm due to the shallow depth. There is a vast array of marine life from nudibranchs to Port Jackson sharks. For the keen photographer this can be a macro paradise.

There are also considerable varieties of sponges and soft corals which are truly magnificent on a sunny day. This dive is well worth the effort and should be done at least once. You will go back again.

Site Name: AV Ulonga
Depth:40 metres
Rating: Advanced

The site is approximately 14.5 km west of Wirinna Cove Boat Ramp and therefore only accessible in good weather. Due to the depth there is limited bottom time (about 8-10 minutes) and so it is advisable that divers wishing to access the site undertake an Specialty Course in Enriched Air Nitrox to extend the available bottom time.

The wreck is sitting upright on the bottom and is relatively intact. There are usually a couple of Wobbegong on or about the wreck and even the occasional Crayfish. This site is more suited to the technical diver due to the depth, but if you can get out there it won't disappoint.
